They are human after all..

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2001)

This is a beautiful film, and definitely worth a watch for all of the romantics out there...
It's important to remember that Vivian and Edward are individuals, and not dismiss the film as unrealistic merely because, "No, that would never happen between a prostitute and a rich guy". Both of them aren't the typical stereotypes. They are individuals, and what began as fondness grew to something a little deeper. Edward is swept away by Vivian, who leads him away from a life that had revolved around work for years (with the unheard of day-off, walking around with bare feet), and Vivian is swept away by her "Prince" (with the money to shopshopshop, the trip to the opera). The story is beautiful yet plausible because they are who they are, despite their faults, and they can see through each other's occupations to the person underneath.
Okay, in the real world this won't happen to everybody, and whether it will last or not is another story... "Some dreams come true, some don't." We'll just kept crossing our fingers.
