sleeping beauty (2011). directed by julia leigh.


i recalled my student days when i was constantly short of money. i decided to stay on whatever budget i have, focused on my studies so that i could go home on time. i did, and i didn't get into any funny business, the innocent goody two shoes that i used to be. 

i still am i guess, because i have not been forced to explore unsavoury options like the girl in this movie did and then find a taste for it. she works all the time in between classes to pay rent and school at the same time, it is a mind numbing existence but there's nothing else she could do other than dropping out of school or getting thrown out of her room. her expression and manners show her lack of interests other than doing something for money, so it is not a wonder that she would choose to sleep away while strangers do weird sexual acts with her body. i get that - you get paid and sleep at the same time, in her case, she could forget the horrible people and the shit jobs she has to do in order to stay alive. 

there are no shortage of perverts out there with money to spend. and there are no shortage of young women tired of life, either. there are no victims here, just cold hard cash transaction. aren't we all whores, now?
