Quote: sootyj @ April 16 2009, 7:25 PM BSTBe as ironic as you like Mr Carpark but don't mess with Pretty Woman.
Pretty Woman is not only a brilliant 1980s romantic movie.
It's also a redemptive parallel with strong Shakesperean themes and has a sly comparison between the job of the banker and the prostitute.
No, it's the story of an evil stock broker, who breaks up companies and puts people out of work for a living, a man so dispicably evil, that despite his good looks and obvious wealth, cannot get a girlfriend.
Julia Roberts plays the only street walking hooker in Los Angeles without a drug habit, pimp or hepatitis. Together these two scumbags hook up and learn a valuable lesson -
If you have lots of money, then shop attendents in posh boutiques will be nice to you. Whoop-dee-flipping-doo.
The moral of the story is - Hey girls, become a hooker, it's glamorous and fun, there's a super rich guy who looks like Richard Gere just waiting to sweep you off your feet. (Crystal Meth, Aids and regular beatings not included)
Yes, very Shakesperean indeed. I think that was the plot to Taming of the Shrew.
Whereas Hostel teaches you that going to dodgy Eastern European countries in search of cheap sex can lead to danger. And that rich businessmen (like Richard Gere) will pay big money to cut out your eyeballs.
The moral of the story is - do not be sexually promiscuous, the world is a nasty place, rich people are evil and that Eastern European women are totally hot but will sell you out the first chance they get.
Films don't have to have a moral!
Pretty Woman can just be a fun film about a couple of people with interesting/immoral jobs.

Every film has a moral zooo, come on you know that. If you wish to ignore the moral to indulge some fantasy wish fulfilment, then that's up to you.
Like those people who watch Horror movies. 
Those sickos.

Hey! The girl no one ever meets dies of a heroin overdose, Julia Roberts hot flatmate loses the rent money to her drug addiction, Richard Gere stops tearing up companies and starts helping them grow.
And if the moral is be good looking and rich and the world will kiss your ass. That's a hell of a good message they should put it on the walls in schools.
Besides no one whacked off to Pretty Woman and then used it as part of their motivation to carry out violent crimes.
Albeit after seeing Mary Poppins I did push a dozen nannies off of a multistory carpark to see if they could fly.
I like to keep my torture and my porn separate if at all possible, which is why I have nothing but regret for watching Porn of the Dead.
Quote: zooo @ April 16 2009, 6:34 PM BSTI can see a brutal murder on TV and just feel a bit nauseous, but if I even see a kid getting smacked in the supermarket I go all wide eyed and disturbed.
Kids getting smacked in supermarkets is always funny, but I agree about things in real life being far more disturbing than the most extreme things in a film. Last night at a railway station there was a homeless guy in his fifties drinking from a whisky bottle and I found it quite upsetting. He clearly had problems and was drinking himself to death, and I found it quite sad, knowing that his life had come off the rails and realistically he'd never get it back on track. 
You also saw the Prime Minister? I thought it was just me.

Good phrase and an apt description of it.
