What a selfish scumbag this girl is..


This girl is straight up scum and represents everything wrong in society. She had opportunities but turned them down and took advantage of people instead because she's a selfish animal. Nothing more to be said really, other than her mom being an alcoholic bimbo really didn't help her development.

What opportunities did she turn down? Giving guys blowjobs and having sex with them like her mother, in exchange for basic living requirements, food and drink?

As for her being selfish, I assume you mean because she grasses on a guy who's scamming his boss (I'd do the same thing if I wanted a job, the guy should've kept he's mouth shut if he didn't wanna get caught, instead of trying to impress a girl, so it serves him right). She is so desperate to get a job and naively believes having one means your "normal" (a lie propagated by society btw, so yes indeed she does represent things that are wrong with society), therefore she exposes Riquet's scam and when she has the job and discovers her mother wasted next to a caravan she believes she will never be "normal" and so plans to kill herself, but not before informing her boss that she will no longer be working, so this alone shows how unselfish she is, if I was gonna kill myself I wouldn't bovver phoning the boss.

Haha. Her friend gave her a job, but she ratted on him like the scum that she was and oh, you completely left out the part where she nearly let him die. Such a hypocritical point of view - she would rather murder someone and take their job than to work under them. Scum.

IEatWords,

Exposing your ignorance this publicly is really embarrassing for us all. Have you had any education in life whatsoever?

When you get older you might understand.

"Us all" - typical viewpoint of a brainwashed individual. If someone doesn't follow your cult, then try to single them out as ignorant. I would say you're better than that but somehow I doubt it.

reply

The guy didn't offered a job, he offered for her to be partner in cheating his boss.

It's like saying that the poor guy was wrong in not accepting an offer of "job" from the traffic dealer of his street.

Not saying that what she did was acceptable, good, moral, etc. I wouldn't do what she did.
But the movie was showing you how she had NO real chances and offers, honest opportunities to be more precise (since you consider cheating your boss as an opportunity to be taken).
She snapped.

reply

Oh, right. So she has an opportunity to make money under a decent person, be it legal or otherwise, but sees murder as the possible better option because she's just so oppressed. Lol, yeah, that's some heavy handed, preachy kind of writing you'd expect from a B movie in the 40s.

reply

I didn't find her to be vey likeable either. I gues she was supposed to be a product of her environment.

The scumbags in society are the political elite and their rich friends. Only a serf would view Rosetta as scum.

As if there's exclusivity to being scum. The scum elite, and the scum at the bottom deserve each other. Scum voting in scum.

reply

There's a quality to your writing here and in the other reply you posted to me on another thread, which I would describe as spewing. A way of pouring forth words in order to 'murder' the other, your reader. It makes me wonder about you and impoverishment of self.

Heavy-handed, one-sided stories impoverish the soul.
