Monster's Ball (2001)
1 other mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Marc Forster
Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Halle Berry, Heath Ledger, Gabrielle Witcher, Taylor Simpson
Factual error: Billy Bob Thorton wore a uniform with a Louisiana state patch on it. All of the cars have Georgia license plates.
Lawrence Musgrove: I've always believed that a portrait captures a person far better than a photograph. It truly takes a human being to really see a human being.
Trivia: For her role in the film, Halle Berry became the first black actress (even though she is actually bi-racial, as her mother is white) to win an Oscar for "Best Actress."
Question: Did Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton really have sex in the infamous scene?
Chosen answer: Both married, on camera, in front of the entire film crew? I don't think so.
