Maquiladora, I've just seen this film for the first time tonight, and on reading what you wrote, the first reaction I had to it was that you need to take that hair out of your ass! I loved this film. But I guess you perceive I loved it because there were a few pairs of tits for me to salavate over? Your words struck me as something Milly Tant, from VIZ, would say.
Far and away the best thing about this movie were the performances of Bob Hoskins and Judi Dench and the chemistry they had together. I also found that the stage show was unlike any I've been to with my Mrs and I commented during the film about how nice it would be to go to a show with such a fresh, light hearted sound to it, not something that disappears up its own backside, like a bunch of the regular West End shows.
It's a shame that the exploitation of women is all that you can see it for. There's the Milly Tant bit coz I saw it as part of what the film was about and could it have actually been done any more tastefully? But you go off about brainwashing and porn. That's the hair up your arse bit. Do you think I rented it so I could gawp at Bob Hoskins' DICK? And yes, I do believe they WERE getting a cut of the profits. Enough to look after themselves, their family, have a social life AND save a bit I believe was the explanation to that. And of COURSE they were used as a ploy to make money. What do you think business is? How does one business compete with a similar business? That was demonstrated at the start of the film when they turned out to be a victim of their own success. And if they HADN'T have found a new ploy, they'd have gone under or been closed down, just like everyone else. Are YOU one of these dogooders who costs people their jobs because YOU believe they're being exploited?
Personally speaking, if the money was right, I'd do just about any job going, and if some dogooder tried to stop me because they felt it was degrading, I'd be sure and let them know where to get off.
