Pretty Woman [DVD] [2001]

This film combined my too favourite things, a prostitute and a love story.I'm joking of course. I'm not a fan of love storiesEveryone has seen this film I am sure. So it comes down to the question around the transfer.Adequate is what I would call itIt's better than dvd but it's not great.You really do lack a lot of detail modern films have. This is an 11 year old transfer which to me resembles something of the early HD DVD transfers. Better than dvd but nothing special. Think 1080i not 1080pIt's £5.98 so well worth the extra cost to buy but don't expect to be amazed by it on your TV!

OK, so the tropes are dated, but, like Dirty Dancing, this is one of THOSE classic romantic movies! It is still a re-write of Pygmalion, but unlike My Fair Lady, I think Vivienne really comes out on top. I think that, for the eighties, this was the first movie to properly address that violence against women was wrong, even if that woman was in a sex profession.Other than that this does nothing for the Sisterhood. It appeals to a lot of the base desires of 80s teen girls - that some handsome man would come and sweep us off our feet with the promise of beautiful things and entry into elegant society. It think even the most modern millennial female or female identifying person will still clench a bit over the clothes shop scenes. Vivienne (Juliet Roberts) is a delightful and charming heroine who encompasses all of our little girl dreams. I remember saying to my stepmum after watching the movie with my friends when it came out (yes, I know that dates me) "He's (Richard Gere) quite handsome, for an old guy." I chuckle at my young self and still love this movie :D

There is nothing to add to this movie. However, this version is better than the version released worldwide, as this anniversary version contains the deleted scenes which never should have been deleted in the beginning.The chemistry between main protagonists, Richard and Julia are wonderful. Well written script, crispy conversation, and great supporting actors and excellent music, this movie was destined to become super hit classics.Of course, in real world, this type of love never happens, Thus, humanity always yearn what they cannot attain. Great love story, totally different than AN OFFICER AND GENTLEMAN, but the essential theme is same, the purity of the women catches the hearts of men. All Glory to women all over the world.

(THE FILM)Academy Award-nominee Julia Roberts and charismatic leading man Richard Gere light up the screen in one of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters.Roberts stars a street-wise, down-on-her-luck working girl, whose chance encounter with a handsome corporate mogul leads to an improbable love affair... and a modern-day Cinderella fantasy that has captured the hearts of move-goers all over the world. Featuring a chart-topping soundtrack, this is an irresistible and timeless romantic comedy.WHAT CAN I SAY?The film continues to develop as the story progresses, showing the difference between two different levels of class (upper and lower). The characters chosen for this film are perfect, as they act with such passion, dedication and commitment it captivates the meaning of two people, from two completely different social backgrounds Julia Roberts acting is faultless, and she and Richard Gere have an excellent chemistry as the loved up pair.- they were made for these roles.This film shows that all types of women have dreams of a fairytale, and even though it doesn't always come true in real life, watching this film just gives you that uplifting feeling that someday it might.Pretty Woman is one of those films that stand the test of time with a lot of chemistry mixed with a touch of class.--------------------------------------------------HER ARE SOME Memorable Quotes For ((Pretty Woman))Vivian: So, what's your name?Edward Lewis: Edward.Vivian: Really?
