nick broomfield documentary be a tragedy . it be an indication of how a person life can destroy them psychologically and make them into a amonster . the documentary leaf you with many question . be wuornos the child of incest . why do everyone look the other way when wuornos be kick out of home . she be force to live in the wood and have to sleep in the snow when winter come . how be it possible that a community could let a 13 year old girl live in the wood and the snow . the evidence of this be readily apparent when her friend dawn show broomfield around the small florida settlement of where she grow up . wuornos also show her hand to broomfield and they have the distinct marking of someone who have certainly sleep in the rough . grow up in her small florida community and what the documentary find be that wuornos be sexually exploit by all of the male around her . even her brother be have sex with her . she be not protect . it also state that she have the reputation of the town tramp and a a result be ostracise and hat by the small community and especially by other girl . eventually she get pregnant and after the baby be give up for adoption she be kick out by her grandfather . what be most interesting be that another individual end up living in the wood with her for a while . the person be a homosexual man who like to cross dress . this be interesting because of what it imply . it imply that the community value a high degree of conformity . the different or the one who do not behave be reject from the town . the degree of cruelty inherent in this kind of community social ostracism be astound . the film do show that wuornos be indeed a monster . at least twice in this film she rant and rave . one minute she be nice and calm . the next . the explosion come . the aileen that pull the trigger become plainly visible . the anger pour out of her like lava from a volcano . it spew forth . the anger be so extreme it be obviously psychotic . yet aileens emotion be fleet and often exaggerated . illustrate the borderline personality disorder that she have be diagnose with . the most disturbing part of the film be when aileen be go after the death penalty a a goal . she even go as far a try to sabotage her own defence . after twelve year on death row she have lose her mind from the constant stress . three psychiatrist find her competent enough to vouch for her sanity . this become an absolute joke in her last interview with broomfield . aileen rant and raf about cop who she think let her kill these men so they could make her a serial killer . that way they would be able to sell her story . she claim that the government be control her mind through radio wave . aileen also state that the guard be try to poison her and she must wash her food . she claim that the whole time she be murder her victim and that she be also be follow by unmarked helicopter . police supposedly drop from these chopper to follow her . so basically aileen have completely lose her mind and be delusional . anyone with a vague notion of mental illness know that stress be a major factor in cause schizophrenia or any mental disorder . the documentary show that aileen have a bad birth and this possibly cause some physical brain damage . add childhood trauma and then place more intense stress on the individual . i believe that the incredible stress of death row be enough to throw aileen into paranoid schizophrenia . because of the cloudy circumstance of the case . aileen could have spend the rest of her life on death row . she want release by death . who could blame her . it become quite clear that some of the killing be self defence and others be just to obtain money . this be to keep her lover tyra . remember border line be terrify of be alone and will do anything to keep their lover . wuornos be an extreme case be willing to kill . aileen be a very sick woman . a woman who should have be institutionalize not execute . shame on jeb bush and his crony . the tragedy of aileen wuornos be also the tragedy of western society . how long must child abuse and neglect go on before people start to realize that all of society bad monster arise from the aforementioned factor . where be the social service that could have help aileen . that might have lead her to a good life . i be a true crime fan and a grad student in psychology . i have read about many killer . it always come back to the same factor with a depressing regularity and mental retardation and childhood trauma and paranoid thinking . the system fail aileen . the define moment of this film be when after a fit of rant and aileen give the camera the finger . broomfield tell her he be sorry . we the audience also can not help but feel pity . we know that that if this woman have not suffer such brutal mistreatment and betrayal . if someone have actually give a damn about her and thing might have be different . this documentary show that united state have a long way to go before it be a humane civilise society . indeed and a dostoevsky point out and the degree of civilisation in a society can be judge by enter it prison .
