I can't find any other movie about a real life serial killer where they sympathized with the 'oh so sad past' of the murderer. Can you?

(Anonymous) 2017-06-08 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
But my point is that I'm not sure that's a useful metric or point of specificity to get hung up on.

How else can we judge whether or not a certain group of people are being romanticized in a mainstream way (such as the movie Monster)?

My point is about whether or not there's other mainstream media that specifically romanticizes real-world spree killers. The question to me is whether romanticizing killers like this is unprecedented, and I think that romanticizing groups of people who are quite similar, even if they're not exactly similar, serves as a precedent.

Then you haven't looked very hard.

That is about as romanticizing or sympathetic as Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.

So you didn't think the flashbacks made him sympathetic?

Michael Rooker was fairly sympathetic there.

TheYoung Poisoner's Handbook is HIGHLY sympathetic to Graham Young, a British serial killer and poisoner. He's a more minor killer than most, and the movie is a dark comedy as opposed to a serious drama, but the movie still goes way out of its way to sympathize with him largely based on a possibily abusive childhood.

So it has happened before.
