Male perspective

The first time I watched this movie was in the 90s. At that time, I thought it was pretty good. When I was young, I only saw the superficial, beautiful and handsome guys, beautiful clothes, upper class, lower class, and occasionally encounter each other to wipe out something based on money. The spark of love began the journey of dreams. At that time, I felt uncomfortable. Now in the United States, I sometimes see this movie on TV and I know what the original discomfort is. Women, you have to wait for men to save you, you have to be rich. Woman, even if you become a prostitute, it doesn't matter, as long as you meet a rich person, your destiny will change. It will always be a man who changes you. What a self-righteous man sees the world, sees women, and sees the relationship between the sexes. Julia Roberts would smirk with his mouth open and sit on the table wherever he is. Richard Gere is confident that he will give away his money and love. Even when the two are watching the opera, he does not forget to squint his small eyes to observe Julia’s performance. It's so arrogant and rude. All the value of a woman is brought to her by this man's money and status. What is she? It's nothing. Therefore, this can only be a film in the early 90s. Now more independent women do not wait for men to change their destiny, and their self-awareness has changed. Postmodern feminism also puts forward a new point of view. Since the world runs according to the rules of men, women can also create their own rules and make their own voices. Such a movie will not be popular with so many people now.

Pretty Woman quotes

  • Vivian: When I was a little girl, my mama used to lock me in the attic when I was bad, which was pretty often. And I would- I would pretend I was a princess... trapped in a tower by a wicked queen. And then suddenly this knight... on a white horse with these colors flying would come charging up and draw his sword. And I would wave. And he would climb up the tower and rescue me. But never in all the time... that I had this dream did the knight say to me, "Come on, baby, I'll put you up in a great condo."

  • Vivian: I say who, I say when, I say...

    Vivian: WHO.
