Fairy Tale Rescue/Toxic Reality

FAIRYTALE RESCUE / TOXIC REALITY


Having watched “Pretty Woman” I realized that I had just watched a reverse ‘rescue’ scenario. Instead of a woman redeeming a man from his inner demons, the man, Edward Lewis, redeemed the inner demons of a prostitute and scooped her up from a life of drudgery to a life of security and supposed love. Instead of the straightforward romance it is so benignly portrayed to be, it is in fact a story loaded with contradiction and irony.



In the opening sequence, Edward was escaping the stifling party atmosphere of his upper class business associates and friends, after being dumped over the phone by his socialite girlfriend.
