Pretty Woman (1990)

I am some 30 years late into this film, but it was on TV yesterday and I decided to watch it. I enjoyed it very much. I can not say if the story is one way or the other (as some reviews commented on) - I can only say that for me the film was entertiening and that is what I look for in a film.I was curious to see where in the film is that Roxette song - It must have been love - I thought it is at the end, but it fits the scene in the car.My only complain is the end. A bit je sais pas...Nevertheless, my rating is 9 as it was a real joy to watch it.

This movie that we grew up on is so horrible that its hard to believe the man who wrote it actually had us all fooled like this. A woman who is a prostitute, which everyone know means she is being abused by men everyday (if someone thinks otherwise then go educate yourself), and romanticising this into a romantic comedy?? What is wrong with you people? The guy is a doochbag! This isn't a romantic story, its just plain vile and Illogical. They could have just write the character as some maid or waitress but no they figured a woman who had to sell her body is such a cute idea and the man who is paying for it is a "prince".

Seriously, people are gonna tell you it never happens in real life but I think the script has more meaning to it. It portrays that every prostitute don't dream to be a prostitute but life and circumstances might force them to do so. Julia Roberts does an amazing job in bringing Vivian's character to life, both as a prostitute and a "conservative" pretty woman. It's like in Titanic where Leonardo goes to Dinner with the highballers but does so smoothly that no one notices he doesn't belong there. Richard Gere was great in his role, but being a billionaire, what are the chances that he would take home a prostitute from the street and listens to her advice on multi-billion business deals? Quite unlikely, but his acting, the soft tone, zero emotional reactions, harsh while being romantic at times made it so much real. Although this is the "Cinderella" kind of movie, you won't regret watching it! It's a feel good, really good movie!!

Pretty Women is an absolute American film classic. There are some Americans out there that haven't seen it but I know they must have at the very least heard of it. Julia Roberts and Richard Gere star as the films romantic leads. Julia is a prostitute in Hollywood who gets in this very rich man's car one night to give him directions in exchange for money. This man is of course Richard Gere. They go to his fancy hotel and talk and hang out and eventually get to sex before the night is over. I enjoyed the dialogue in the film very much, Roberts and Gere have some really good writing in the scenes they share together. And Roberts is just perfect in the role, I don't think anyone else could've played her character nearly as well as she did. And the same thing goes for Richard Gere, very professional actor, very calm demeanor, and I think that worked for his character in this movie. Another actor that I loved in the movie was hector elizondo, I don't particularly know why but I just loved seeing him interact with Roberts and kind of be her guiding hand with some things she had to learn. It was sweet and charming. The romantic chemistry is very natural and it flows nicely throughout between the two. I liked the sex scenes, I thought they were beautifully done, very well filmed and romantic. All in all I suggest this 1990 romantic comedy-drama because it is just charming and features great performances. 8/10.
