Monsters what?

Mrs Taoski and I watched Monsters Ball at the weekend. However, I may have missed some vital plot bits (as I was ironing at the time) - but what the hell was it all about?

Here’s a few plot points for the mentally impaired:

• White policeman executes man on death row.
• White policemans son kills himself.
• Convicts fat son gets killed in a hit and run.
• Three deaths before 1 hour is up.
• White policeman gets jiggy with convicts wife.
• Convicts wife buys White policeman a white cowboy hat.
• White policeman ditches frail racist father at a home to die.
• Convicts wife moves in with White Policeman.
• Convicts wife finds out White Policeman fried her hubbys brain.
• They eat Chocolate Ice Cream.
• The end.

And she won an oscar for that? At least she had the decency to show her breasticles!
Great direction, great photography, good atmosphere……Crap film.
