Pretty Woman is one of the most sexist and silly movies of all time. It glomorized the miserable and tough lives of prostitutes. You would never know from that movie that prostitutes, on average, are raped 27 times in their life-time. Of course, the man was portrayed as the savior too. The new movie Monster is an excellent movie. Powerful and disturbing: about the life of a woman who was poor, homeless, abused, and was forced by society into prostitution. Prostitution is never a free choice. The director and writer of the movie is a woman. It made a difference in this case.
