An ephiphany really...I woke up in the middle of the night and realized that, that must be one of the most BRILLIANT movies ever made. Our whole puritanical society fell head over heals in love with a prostitute, and rationalized why a dirty street hooker should get to fall in love with prince charming. Remember Cinderella, she was not a sleezy slut...she was a martyr, clearly deserving of a fairy tale life. Even the people who hated the movie, did not hate it because Julia was a hooker, they probably just hated Julia (and Gere)She slept with men for money, and was darling enough to floss her teeth, come on she wasn't that dirty..she even bathed for us to prove it. MY grandparents raved about that movie for god's sake, and they go to church at least three times a week!
Maybe the filmakers got drunk and stoned, and had a bet, kind of like in the movie Trading Places...let's see if we can get the conservative americans to see a movie about a whore.
Brilliant!
