This Girl's Life

Im a huge Cheyenne Silver/Cara Fawn fan, but was blown away (pardon the pun) by the lead actress here. Holy wow she's hot.

I did not find this film to be particularly erotic. I only found it to be sad. It did, however, have a few redeeming qualities.The story is of a beautiful young woman in the porn business. She was not forced into it. The money is only part of it. She does it because she likes sex. She works on the internet and makes a good living. She also takes care of her father who suffers from Parkinson's disease.Through the course of the film, she undergoes a character change. She decides to go into the PI business investigating men for infidelity and that takes her to some even uglier parts of life. She seems amoral but there is some character in there. The problem is she is not sure what she wants. She thinks she may have found a boyfriend but is not sure. The factors in her life, stress, taking care of Pops, an aides scare, physical danger and such prompt an even stronger character change. Most people would consider it to be for the better.The end is ambiguous. You know she has cleaned up some aspects of her life but we are not really sure how thorough the cleaning is.The film is well acted and well done. The drama is real and some of the action is graphic. It does what a drama should do in terms of generating character development and change. Still, sitting through it was a trial for me. I am glad to have seen it but I don't need to do it again.

It was an interesting view that not all porn is bad and not all porn stars are druggies and abused kids. The premiss that porn in and of itself is not bad but the way its made and how the unhealthy enviornment of most porn is bad. If some how it could be made a more 'main stream' industry it could be a healthy(er) and cleaner way of making a living. The downside of the movie they leave it at that, no hard suggestions of how, hints of more female directors and producers, but just small hints of how. All in all a good movie, better then others I have seen similar to this one.

I picked up this flick from the recomendation of an educated female friend of mine. We were discussing the fact that since pornography is purely exploitive by nature it is immune from exploitation and therefore might be the last "pure" art in America ( in very limited examples). She recomended this film for it's take on the subject. Suffice to say this movie doesn't do or say anything that others haven't. It's got the eye candy and James Woods channeling Michael J Fox (too soon?) but is ultimately disappointing in it's pacing, dialogue, and content. As I understand it this is Juliet Marquis's (a model from the Czech Republic I think) breakout role. She handles her part well; I personally could see her as the next Mila Jovovich B+ horror movie staple. In any case, if you're curious rent it then there's no shame in hitting stop early.

I liked this movie a lot. The acting was good and so was the story. James Woods was awesome in it.

Nice ly done

Apart from James Woods, this was dismal. The Moon character is suppose to have this awakening and by the end of the movie be a woman. The situations she was put in were transparent and lacked any grounding in a rational mind. If she was this big porn SUPERSTAR then why can't she afford a nurse to care for her "Parkinson's disease-suffering" father when she is gone? Would not starting a business based on trying to make people cheat be dangerous? Would saying you can "take on" twenty guys be a bad move? I know that was not Moon but the stupidity is not limited to her story. A little, and I mean VERY little, common sense would have put her in the same place that this lunatic story did.Again and again the actions and journeys taken are unnecessary except as poorly executed attempts to emotionally manipulate the viewer. Just a touch of logic or common sense would have been nice. I don't sympathize with fools.

Strange movie but it's good,deff worth watching

bad

Eine altertümlich-U.S.-moralische Geschichte: Wessen Leben zu sehr lottert, der ist von HIV und Gewalt bedroht. Erlöst wird die strauchelnde Hauptfigur durch einen keuschen, humorvollen, aufrechten, jungen, blonden, gerne kochenden, einfühlsamen Prinzen -- den sie aber trotzdem erst seelisch an sich lässt, als sie es endgültig mit den Angst zu tun kriegt. Uff...das ist wirklich etwas zu dick aufgetragen.Die Schauspieler sind gut, aber die Bildqualität zu VHS-videomäßig und nicht mehr zeitgemäß (für das Jahr 2014); das müßte man evtl. für Bluray 'mal technisch komplett neu bearbeiten, besonders auch die grauenhaft zerfrettelten Schriften.Was im Entstehungsjahr 2003 zum Thema "the industry" noch mutig oder aufklärerisch war (etwa der leicht schmierige, aber irgendwie aufrechte Videofirmenbesitzer und Webcams überall) ist mittlerweile eher zum Schmunzeln, da es vom Internetangebot, das schon Jugendlichen bekannt ist, mittlerweile weit überholt wurde.Filmgeschichtlich ein gerade so brauchbarer Film mit heute zaghaft wirkender, subjektiver Kamera im Video-Stil, einem inhaltlich meterhoch gehobenen Zeigefinger zugunsten Anstand, Toleranz und Monogamie sowie -- wie gesagt -- einer guten Cast. Der Film dürfte für auf Unterhaltung bedachte ZuschauerInnen nix sein und auch sonst schnell in Vergessenheit geraten.Postscriptum zum deutschen Untertitel: Der stimmt so nicht ganz und dient wohl eher der Kundenfängerei. Das echte Problem der Hauptfigur entsteht dramaturgisch nämlich erst, als sie einen Job als verführende Detektivin übernimmt...In einem Satz: Kann man sich, außer bei filmgeschichtlichem Interesse, sparen.

Der Film ist spannend erzählt und nicht ohne bittere Kritik am Pornobusiness und der Gesellschaft, die gerne alles nimmt und nichts bezahlen will. Die Darsteller spielen hervorragend. Für Freunde nackter Haut wird nicht so viel zu sehen sein dass sich der Kauf für sie lohnt, aber für sie ist der Film auch nicht gemacht!

La protagonista ci racconta la sua storia...

nicht für Jeden gemacht. Wenn man sich dem Film hingibt kann auch die Sicht der anderen Seite erlangen. Licht und Schatten - es gibt Wünsche und es gibt Menschen die diese Erfüllen.
