Topic: Fear is a theme in Monster.
* Sometimes I feel like I have walked into the middle of a movie.
It is a strange movie with no plot and no beginning. The movie is in black and white, and grainy. Sometimes the camera
moves in so close that you can’t tell what is going on and you just listen to

is not a movie about bars and locked doors. It is about being alone when you are
not really alone and about being scared all the time.
