Juliah Roberts makes an obscene statement for conservatives
to understand. ‘I don’t kiss on the mouth’. When Juliah said it the first time,
I took it as that. She just doesn’t kiss on the mouth, but looking at pretty
woman from a different perspective, kissing on the mouth is way deeper in this
movie than it should be and perhaps in a liberal world, it might be an idiom of
expression – I don’t kiss on the mouth – I do not go above and beyond my
boundaries. Edward, played by Richard Gere, also doesn’t kiss on the mouth. Not
at work, and not in committing to relationships. He is closed off emotionally
to things that may make a servant out of him if he were to be emotional about
them. One thing they both displayed for me is a sense of clarity - for the
prostitute to know where her boundaries were with her clients, and a firm decision-making
instinct in a business man who know when to overcome the urge to step aside
from your business principles.
