Our new genre we chose is Crime Thriller, this genre deals with murder mystery. It involves crimes, their detection, criminals and their motives. It uses suspense, tension and excitement.
We came to an agreement as a group, that in most crimes, there is a common structure; first their is a crime (usually a murder), then an investigation, finally then an outcome or judgement which usually may result to the an arrest or death of the criminal.
Films :
Monster (2003)
This dark tale film - Monster is a typical Crime Thriller investigation, based on a true story of Aileen Wuronos (Charlize Theron) is focused during a 9 month period of her life between 1989 and 1990. Wuronos, who was a prostitute, was executed in 2002 in Florida. Aileen Wuronos was brought up in a cruel manner as a child being surrounded by drugs and abuse, by the age of thirteen turning to prostitution.
Aileen confessed to murdering six men, including a policeman, she claimed that the killings of these men were in self defence, as she was assaulted violently whilst working as a prostitute during which a love story begins although the horror of her life lingers.
Wurons is sent to Florida by her parents due to the fact she was pregnant and also in order to 'cure her homosexuality', yet Aileen is on the verge of committing suicide which is when she discovers love.
Aileen wanders into a bar bringing attention to herself as she looks distressed and is seen as scruffy and a complete mess and meets Selby, Aileen immediately clings to her as she feels something that she has never experienced before; the affection to be loved and cared for.
Aileen Wuronos continues hooking in order to keep their relationship alive, as money is very tight she takes the money but gives nothing in return except death. This enrages Aileen more, leading to the string of killings which leads her to the public eye as the first female cold-blooded serial killer - the Monster.
