In the 1990 Hollywood film Pretty Woman, Richard Lewis (Richard Gere) is a multi-millionaire, successful businessman. He has already separated from his wife. While in a different city on business, Lewis calls his girlfriend to accompany him on a business trip. The girlfriend refuses, saying that she is not a hired woman and that she will travel as she pleases. Frustrated, Lewis goes out on the street and asks a woman for directions to a hotel for his next destination. The woman is a prostitute named Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts). Vivian gives Lewis a ride in her car and shows him the way, asking for $20 for the bus fare back. With the money, Lewis goes to the hotel, and Vivian goes back to the bus stop.
Then Lewis remembers his girlfriend's prank, and decides that he will hire the woman today. He returns to the bus stop. He hires Vivian for six days for $3,000. They start living together.
Vivian doesn't know much about the social life of the rich society of the big hotel, she is always nervous and worried that everyone is watching her and that everyone will think she is some kind of prostitute. Luis helps her to ease up. The kind-hearted staff of the hotel do the same.
After living with her for just a few days, Luis realizes that he is no different from Vivian. Just like a prostitute, he uses his own emotions to arouse the emotions of others and uses his body to empty the pockets of his customers. As a businessman, he does the same thing. His job is to control his emotions, to make money by inspiring others without giving his own dreams a chance.
In these few days with Vivian, he can recognize himself a lot. He understands that there is no difference between him and Vivian, that Vivian's business is not accepted by society, it is applauded, that is the only difference. Understand that the goal of life is to fulfill one's own dreams, not to sell oneself to fulfill the dreams of others and become the owner of a lot of money.
Not one of the thousands of Hollywood movies brings out the hard truth of life. In the last two or three centuries, our dramas, movies, and literature have not brought out any truth of life. They have only corrupted their own and the audience's brains by creating originality, rent, and nuisance, nonsense. The new generation's inclination towards stupidity, thoughtlessness, and fundamentalism is not the responsibility of the madrasas. It is the responsibility of the cultural world. Because they have not brought out the truth of life for a long time.
