Charlize Theron Pictures and Filmography: Charlize Theron Film Movies Pictures

Charlize Theron: Now she was entering the major leagues. Next came The Devils Advocate, where she was credited alongside Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves. Here Reeves played a small-time Florida lawyer so skilled at defending the patently guilty that hes recruited by a big New York firm headed by one John Milton (Pacino). Charlize, as his initially sexy and vibrant wife, is at first happy to enter this world of wealth, but soon finds herself neglected and gradually slips into paranoia and then full-blown suicidal mania. Her role was vital. It had to explain Reeves dilemma and his eventual decision - in short, it had to make us care. Otherwise the whole movie would collapse into supernatural silliness. So, for three months, Theron spent an hour a day with a psychotherapist, practising schizophrenia. And what a job she did. It was unexpectedly human, truly harrowing, actually better than the movie deserved. In fact, considering the nominations for that year, she should really have been put forward for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Shed worked for it, too, having read three times for director Taylor Hackford, three more times with Reeves, then travelled four times from LA to New York for screen tests.
