Prostitute’s distorted image
français
At one time, most women couldn't choose their future husbands freely. Only Japanese guys and their parents had a right to choose their brides.
When I watched old TV news of the fifties, one young woman never looked at her future husband during arranged meeting. It was bizarre.
When TV narration informed that Japanese woman’s behavior as a heart-warming scene, my mouth dropped open.
In spite of this social situation, Kenji Mizoguchi treated women equally in his movies. The languages that actresses spoke in the movies were natural. I felt that Kenji had genuine affection toward women and he always stood by women.
When Kenji was in his late teens, his sister had been worked for family as a Geisha.
Probably that’s one of reason why he didn’t look down on women including prostitutes.
Prostitution is like selling their souls by the piece.
Many women including children are now under this situation.
I’ve ever seen a lot of movies that prostitutes were treated as a common mistaken notion.
Coline Serreau “Chaos” (2001)
Charlize Theron’s “Monster” (2003) this movie is based on a true story.
These good movies are helpful to reconsider our beliefs. I couldn't be more pleased!
