I felt sorry for this woman

Rating: Null/10 (8 August 2004)

Just watching the film on video. Imagine being raped by your uncle at 8, thrown out at 13 to fend for yourself, no authorities or relatives intervening, no schooling to speak of. By the time she meets Selby she's been angry with men for a long time! No excuse for murder, but I sure wish someone had helped her before it got to be too late. This was a very heavy film to watch as I know a guy who used prostitutes and as one guy in the film said, it's a love/hate feeling about them, therefore a very dangerous profession. It was so sad watching her try to find a job - but by then I don't think she could listen to anyone who may have wanted to help her out. She was an alcoholic and lived in alcoholic fantasies of life. As I said I felt sorry for her.
