Billy Bob Thornton and Halle Berry in Monster's Ball (2001)

FAQ

Monster's Ball

FAQ



    This movie, too, did not make it through the MPAA unharmed. The sex scenes in it were too explicit, so they had to be cut down for the R-Rating. In the R-Rated, the scene has almost nothing in common with the original version. Apart from the cut version an Unrated Version also hit the stores in the USA.

    The unrated cut also exists in two different formats: Fullscreen and Widescreen. The film is presented in its original 1.33:1 shooting ratio in the Fullscreen version and shows more graphic footage of the sex scene than in the Widescreen (2.35:1) version.
