The film Pretty Woman directed by Garry Marshall is a youthful comedy and romance that also depicts elements of drama and crime. The film depicts a man in a legal but hurtful business that needs an escort for some social event. He hires a beautiful prostitute he meets, but only to fall in love with in the end. The film starts Richard Gere, Julia Roberts and Jason Alexander. The films main characters Edward and Vivian gave magical performances as a shrewd businessman and a lovely prostitute.
When you think of the title Pretty Woman, a prostitute does not come to mind. Walt Disney Studios sends the message that working in the business of crime, sex, and money, does give a negative perception but that besides a prostitutes job, they too can have somewhat of a normal life and find love. The film was originally written as a gritty drama, which the studio and director Garry Marshall tempered into a charming if unlikely fairy tale. The picture eventually pulled in over 450 million dollars worldwide and became a cultural reference point.
In one of the scenes there is an error in continuity. During the breakfast scene, Julia Roberts is first eating a croissant then it quickly switches to a pancake. It almost appears that the events or scenes/ sequences are arranged as if they had occurred continuously, when in fact; they were shot out of sequence. Continuity also refers to the degree to which a film consistent without errors, jump cuts, or mismatched shots and details. As much as the film does have smooth transitions, camera angles, and points of views, Pretty Woman provides a continuous and clear movement of events/images in the film.
