Confusing objective of lead characters
16 December 2014
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is not for those conservative people who don't want to see the lead characters doing wrong. First of all, this movie shows all-in-all upper class characters and hard to relate to. Secondly, they don't act ideally. Rachel needs something to kill her boredom, so she goes again to the strip again (why?) in daytime. There she "accidentally" sees her lap dance giver (McKenna) and communicates with her. McKenna is a confident prostitute who chose this profession because she wants to and not needs to, although she is shown to be broke and homeless. Rachel trusts her but her trust dwindles when she sees her with her client (why?). So McKenna shows her what a whore can do and try to seduce her and friends' husbands (Why?) and proudly leaves her house. Both of these lead characters are not likable and viewer are never sympathetic to them. Its hard to understand their point of view, especially McKenna's. So, the viewer cannot connect to the story. I don't know if the writer want to show feminism and women empowerment via. McKenna, but if so, this expression is not obvious. This movie leaves me confused what it wanted to say. So, in my opinion, skip it.
