Alicia Vikander's role


She ruined this movie...i've neveer seen her in anything else, but she cannot act. She was so wrong for this part. Is she the poor man's Natalie Portman?

reply

Ultra silly comment. She is a working girl, she acts, she did what she needed to do for this role, she was effective, she was not the main character.

She's also won an Oscar so apparently there are some people who think she can act.

"Working girl" = synonym for prostitute. Ouch.

Only to those with perverted minds.

Getting some deplorable vibes from you here, Mike. Gonna go ahead and ban ya.

reply

just check in any dictionary. for example dictionary.com

it is a slang for prostitute

reply

In any dictionary "a woman who goes out to work rather than remaining at home." That is the context of my original quote, not the slang version that the perverted minds want to attach to it.

Working girl is actually the politically correct term, not the "perverted" term. In the PC world, there are words we use as euphemisms to sound less insulting.

For example fat = curvy, fuller figure, curvaceous.
ugly = visually challenged
short = vertically challenged

You wouldn't call people fat or ugly. It's rude. It's not polite to call someone a prostitute or whore either. Thus the 'working girl' euphemism. Much more polite.

reply

yeah but still means prostitute in a politically correct way. thats the point we are discussing right now, not political correctness

I do wish that Heather wasn't in the movie and Nicky was the main female lead character.

reply

she was fine in this movie and gorgeous.

haters are just jealous teen girls.

reply

sounds like you are saying she did more than audition

reply

I think she herself is ok, and even maybe can deliver some solid performance. It's just the setting of her role that goes beyond absurdity, because I find neither her psychological development nor the trust laid on her from Jason convincing, to the slightest degree.

Pamela Landy would be more convincing in her place, as long as the cliffhanger ending was rid of, but that's impossible as Landy belongs to the past.
