Margaret; Emma younger's sister said "she's worried the potential risk of romanticising brothels and prostitution from her sister's novel will bring to young girls.
I couldn't agree more.
Standing at Emma's side. I agree that when selling sex is a choice, there is nothing to be ashamed of. You love sex? You want to earn money from what you love? Sure, go ahead.
But the reality of many prostitutes are, many have no choices.
The movie beautify brothel to be a place to earn good money with good work-life balance. Compare to a regular job that pays peanut and requires more than 10 hours of work. Brothel is absolutely a perfect choice.
But, in the reality. What progression or skills does brothel gives you? Good at blowjobs? How to fake your climax to satisfy your customer? What will these brings you when you are lose all the collagens around your skin?
What about the work hazards? Diseases? Rapes? Drugs? Yea, it did covered a little. And phew, our Emma has safely got over all these problems without any deterimental harm.
The "culture" of the brothel was also rather too good to be true? All these women are like a family. No losing customer to one another. No jealousy. I thought they are nuns in the monastery. Even the most regular workplace, we have women who are petty and neurotic af. But these women in the brothel are so different, yet so successful and supportive in their job? Don't kid me.
The final straw that breaks the Camel's back is so cliche. That is encountering a potential pedophile, a freaking taboo in 22nd century. Only when Emma realised her submission to keep herself alive opens the door for this pedophile to reach out to young girls in the future.
This movie, yet, did not show whether she stopped prostitution because of this incident? Although we know the actual writer did stop her prostitution after two years. She chose to end the story of the few beautiful and unique co-workers. And totally ignored the one who leave the industry because she was obviously humiliated.
Because we all know there are simply too many sex workers who enter the sex industry for all sorts of bad reasons. And they have 101 more bad reasons to not get out from it. Not because it is a job that pays well and has good work-life balance.
