Pretty woman

Pretty woman is a great movie that is worth watching twice. It really gets the point across about dreams coming true. It has a fulfilling ending that really wraps it up. It also ends in a way that you could add a second movie to it. Like Father of the Bride it has a fulfilling ending but the second one just adds to it making it better.
It is a wonderful story about a hooker who doesn’t really want to be one, who gets the opportunity to turn her life around. She ends up going with a rich guy who really just wants directions not a hooker. He feels sorry for her so at first he hires her for the night. He gets a call, finds out he needs a date for the week so he hires her for the week. Then she does what a professional hooker would not do which changes everything.
This movie stars Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. They are both amazing actors. Julia Roberts just lights up the movie with her happy, warm and bubbly mood. an example would be when she makes him take the day off of work to just have fun. She also makes it believable when she’s angry.she does not accept it when his lawyer treats her like a hooker.she tells him that if he can’t stick up for her they’re not meant to be. If the moods are acted well it helps out the whole of the movie to make it so you can believe. Richard Gere also does a great job as the rich business man.he goes to big partys,he dates lots of girls,he’s usaully stressed instead of happy. He shows that everything is no nonsense until he meets the girl.Pretty Woman Poster
Overall the movie falls in a pretty predictable pattern. The guy meets the girl. They aren’t meant to fall in love but they do. The guy hurts the girl he says sorry and she forgives him. Then there is a twist in the story where she decides it won’t work so she doesn’t accept his offer. She leaves and they both miss each other. So he goes and finds her.
The lighting was well done in this movie. It really helped to set the scene. A certain type of dark is a romantic dark and another kind is a scary darkness and one is just a darkness of night. One type of bright is “inside out of the darkness” bright, like in the hotel lobby in the evening. the other is “wake up in the morning” bright, like when she’s laying in bed and the sun is streaming through the windows. Certain lightening also helps to represent a beautiful day. The lighting can set the mood, the time of day, and the setting.
Music also helps to set the mood and the setting. Like it’s more believable that it’s a wild party if there is loud music with a strong beat.an example would be at the club when everyone’s dancing and the music loud with a beat. If you would have classical music playing it would be hard to believe that it’s a wild party. Certain types of music can also emphasize the happiness or sadness of the people. An example of mood music would be when Richard plays romantic music when he and Julia are alone in the cafĂ© in the lobby and the room is dimly lit.
In conclussion they did a good job of making the movie one you can sink into.They did a good job of making the movie believable with the acting and effects.every part can make a difference on to how the movie turns out. This movie had a good turnout.

  1. Maria,

    The inclusion of examples and extension of ideas like lighting make this review much better. There are however, still some sloppy errors, like spelling mistakes and missing capitals.

    Some of the nuances of writing also need to be considered, particularly 'tone'.

    I am impressed with the care and time you put into this project. I am looking forward to reading your article summaries and learning about current environmental issues.
