The film, "Pretty Woman", carries a really important message. The film tries to explain that everything is possible around love. From being a multi millionaire (rich) to being a prostitute (poor), anyone can be with anybody because you're still a person who has feelings like every other human being on this planet.
I dind't expect when i first started but this movie just became one of my favorites, it's just so good, it's like a pillow to your heart i couldn't define it any better, i just spend 2 hours hugging everything i had in reach while smiling with this amazing Julia Roberts.
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!!
Awesome romantic comedy. Great performances by Julia Roberts, Richard Gere and remaining cast. Excellent directing by Garry Marshall. If you get the chance, watch the director's cut on DVD...So good. Don't watch this movie from a political, religious, financial, or critical point of view. Sit down. Suspend your disbelief. Believe in love and magic and joy. Let yourself go. Smile. Laugh. Enjoy!
