Whispers and Moans



Yesterday night watched this movie, I thought it was a low quality movie at first. However, I keep thinking about this movie after watching it. It's about the life of whores. These people are being labelled as the " unwanted " ones in a peaceful society, but they still keep existing. That reflects there is an actual demand in the market, therefore these people provide service.
I don't discriminate them, at least they are earning money themselves. They provide sex service and recieve payment in return. The most notable part of this movie is how the whores treat their job. They maintain a good relationship with their "mother" , as seen in the movie that they will eat together after they finished their job. Some of them hate their job because they think that this job is not only about selling their body,but also their dignity. One of the whores rejcted her boyfriend's proposal of marriage because she afraid that she will see her previous customers in the wedding. Many people still have bias towards them. In my opinion, we should face the need of the society and should set up laws to protect these " sex workers ". Also, this movie talked about the friendship bewteen the girls. Although they are competitors when working, they support eachmn other and truly feel happy when they heard that one of the girls can finally retired from this industry.
I always want to know more about the prostitutes' life. This movie provides me a clear view of it. And it also made me think of the problems of the society. When we were young, it is our parents who told us what we can or cannot do. Obviously, a prostitute is a " cannot do " thing. After we grow up, some of us join this industry because they are eager for money. We cannot critizise them however. Frankly speaking, who doesn't want money? This movie leaves a lot of room for me to think about problems in life.

Waa aya you are an Emo Nemo la... =)

Prostitution is nothing less than any other job, it is society that sheds such poor light on it. There are numerous jobs that are less glamorous than prostitution. At least it's a straight forward job, what you see is what you get. What abt advertising companies? A multibillion dollar industry whose sole purpose is to sell lies to the world. What you see is never wat you get, and sometimes wat you see, you will never get. Glamorous much? I think not.
