The film review of Pretty Woman

There are always some surprises in the life, at least, in the movie “Pretty Woman”. It is a completely fairy tale just like the continuation of the story of Cinderella. When I saw this movie first time, I noticed many details of the plots which attracted my attention to finish it and then had a strong passion to write a review of this movie. Then I will introduce the actors, plots and lines which impressed me and also guided me to fall into some reflections on realistic life and true love that I never ever thought.

The director Garry Marshall figures such a few characters: Julia Roberts plays Vivian Ward, an attractive and smart hooker wanders on the Hollywood street with a heart of gold.She gives her character a great sense of humor although she was forced by the reality.Why she choose this profession? As a stop schooling girl who far away from home, she worked at a couple fast-food places, then parked cars at wrestling, but couldn’t make the rent. Too ashamed to go home, she chooses to be a hooker under the guide of Kit. Richard Gere plays Edward Lewis who is handsome, charming and shy. Unexpectedly, Edward Lewis is a millionaire who finally falls in love with Vivian----a hooker. His work is to buy companies that are in financial difficulty and takes them apart and sells the pieces for more than he paid for the whole. In the film, he tells Vivian, It's strictly business", "You and I are both such similar people. We both screw people for money." Hector Elizondo plays the formal, intolerant hotel manager. He regards Vivian as “niece” of Edward and helps her dress elegantly and trains her how to behave well at a fancy dinner. What a lovely man he is! Laura San

Giacomo plays Vivian's pal roommate Kit who behaves rudely and leads Vivian to become a hooker. As far as I am concerned, Laura San Giacomo is a real hooker who was compared with Vivian. It tells people hookers can be greatly different for their different attitudes towards life.

The plot of this film is not very complicated. At the very beginning, Vivian meets trouble of supporting rent money, she asks help for Kit, her roommate who takes their common money for other use. But no result, so they continue their job along the Hollywood street to be walking girls. At that moment, there is a glamorous choice coming which Edward’s car stops besides the street and loses his way. Kit encourages Vivian to get close to the luxury car(Lotus Esprit) and the rich man in it. However, love story starts from here. Vivian gives the right direction to Beverly hills for Edward and show him Lotus’good function for she has a good knowledge of luxury cars while Edward is not familiar with. This surprises Edward. On the way to hotel Regent Beverly Wilshire, they have a great time in the car, Vivian’s beauty and interesting talk attracts Edward. One of saying from Vivian “Y ou know your foot’s as big as your arm from your elbow to your wrist?” made me to measure the length myself. Edward asked Vivian how much if she provides sex service and wandered “Y ou make 100$ an hour and you got a safety pin holding your boot up? Obviously, such a rich man can not understand how hard life the poor girl’ life is! Just as Vivian said “I never joke about money.” When they arrives, he doesn’t want she go and invites Vivian to his penthouse to go through all night and they make a deal that Vivian service for Edward for 6 days whenever he wants her before he leaves for New York. Then she can get
