Monster's Ball (2001)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Marc Forster
Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Gabrielle Witcher, Halle Berry, Heath Ledger, Taylor Simpson
Continuity mistake: When Billy Bob and Halle are having sex, in one shot her underwear is on and in another shot her knickers are around her thighs/legs. These two shots alternate throughout the sex scene. (01:11:20)
Hank Grotowski: I went by our station on the way home... I like that sign. I think we're gonna be all right.
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: What was with him vomiting throughout the movie? Did it mean something?
Chosen answer: Hank is a deputy warden in a Georgia state prison.He oversees the executions of condemned prisoners, and before each one he is literally sickened by having to perform this duty.
No - he threw up after sex with Berry which is well after he quit. He threw up after drinking heavily the night before.
Per the vomit-after-sex scene. I too, thought that the drinking must have caused it. I rewound and watched the scene again and BAM, I'd missed it! He's in the bathroom at the sink facing the mirror. THERE, TWICE, he can see the reflected picture of her dead executed husband: in the main mirror plus in the little round mirror to the right. (Musgrove's pic must be hung on the wall behind him.) That execution memory = vomiting.
Answer: Hank threw up in the toilet because the picture of Letitia's husband as scratched by her son. He had escorted him to the death chamber.

Correction: Halle is wearing a necklace. From one angle this necklace looks a bit like a white strap, bit it isn't. Halle's bra is hidden under her gown throughout the whole scene.
