she not michael jordanthink of all the marvelous nba player whose career light have be dim for no other good reason than the timing of their birth . their name might trip a easily off the public lip a russell and cousy and byrd and magic and mchale and oscar and wilt and the list go on while but the volume get turn down a little and for stockton and malone and charles and patrick and all the other great player who always lose the headline to michael . i have see it write that gretchen mol career flame out in the wake of the cover article in the 1998 vanity fair issue which predict inevitable superstardom for ms. mol . it be later say that she have be over hyped . i disagree . i still remember that for some time after i saw the devil advocate in 97 or 98 and i would get confuse a to which actress play mary ann lomax . be it mol or theron . oh yeah . charlize theron be the one in 2 day in the valley and mighty joe young and gretchen mol be in donnie brasco and celebrity and and rounder . by the time i have see the thirteenth floor ( mol ) and sweet november ( theron ) and i pretty much have them straighten out but i still put them in the same mental file drawer . both be highly talented and have sweet face and similar body type and short blonde hair and so on . theron and though and be offer more work . i love her a sara deever and a adele invergordon her beauty be downright intimidate . in 2003 monster be release and from that point until the handing of the oscar itself and all of filmdom knew who the best actress award be go to . and deservedly so . theron be aileen wuornos . the only way to get a more accurate understanding of what make the real aileen wuornos tick would be to somehow replay the digital video trap in selby head . and for a major talent to make herself that physically unattractive . unheard of . then in 2005 the notorious bettie page be release . mol performance be extraordinary . maybe she be stand in the shadow of ms. theron . it be like the ballroom for the victory celebration for the lose presidential candidate and nobody come and nobody care . it be view a a continuation of an old tale and once promising actress with a decline career do a nudie part in a b movie . ho hum . no and no and no . wrong . no matter what you may think of the film ( and i enjoy film about the fifty ) if you pass on this one you will be miss one of the good performance of that year . ms. moll be every bit a much bettie a ms. theron be aileen . unfortunately aileen and to the film go public and be the more sympathetic character . for whatever reason and an amoral and sociopathic killer be less embarrass to u than a naïve and unsophisticated and uninhibited and religious girl whose most capital crime be to live her life totally trusting and completely expose . bettie page be one of the icon of the fifty . her photo and film never sexual and never pornographic and but she present a a near caricature of all thing kinky . there be no sense of realism and only parody . ms. moll capture the very essence of the character . she gain 20 pound to add some zaftig to her normally slim figure and when she pose for various photographer in the film and her body be bettie . her full frontal lack of any inhibition accurately fit everything which have be publish about bettie . cinematic nudity normally depict eroticism or sexuality . in this film it all about innocence . see gretchen or bettie nude do not make me want to jump her but instill a desire to protect her from all the horror that people can inflict on each other . if you pass on this film you will be miss out on one of the best performance of recent year . by the way and shame on the mpaa for give this an r rating .
