aileen wuornos grow up in a financially and and emotionally and deprive family . she later kill seven men in cold blood ( she may have be defend herself from attack in some case and but that remain unclear ) . she show little remorse thereafter . she be intelligent and articulate and and although towards the end of her spell on death row appear wildly deluded and be arguably not insane represent her view of the world may have be wrong and but it do make sense . the story of her final year and tell in this film by nick broomfield ( who have make another film earlier during her journey through the u. s. legal system ) and make highly disturbing viewing . wuornos do not come across a a monster ( the name of a subsequent fictionalised account of her case ) but a very human while and yet she seem incapable of comprehend the significance of death and even her own at the hand of the state . the system treat her badly and and i personally oppose the death penalty in all case while and yet it hard to imagine how anyone in her position could generate less sympathy than wuornos do . in some respect and aileen be a ghoulish film and peeping through the window of a house of pure horror . broomfield earlier film centre on the grotesque way almost everyone involve in the case try to sell their story to the medium . but broomfield himself be part of that medium and and notwithstanding the fact that he gain wuornos trust and this film seem almost out of it depth . broomfield style and first practise on south african white supremacist eugene terreblanche and be base on turn up and turn on the camera and let people damn themselves . in his film of terreblanche and the tactic worked and brilliantly deflate alarmist rumour of an afrikaaner coup in it portrait of it pathetic subject . but in aileen and it unclear who broomfield be try to damn and or whether anyone be well serve by the put of the story on camera . in one of the most chilling moment and we see the awful television coverage of wuornos execution ( sample sound bite represent date with death ) and but at one remove and through broomfield own lens . do this make the film an expose and or merely an exploitation of ( and contributor to ) our collective and irrational fear of that tiny proportion of humanity who kill for apparently no reason . it might do u more value to look at the ( socially license ) serial killer on both side of the war in iraq . instead we play watch the monster . at least aileen make you think . but do not expect to understand .
