      I grew up in the '60's typical top-40 music fan. I began to notice that some of the most powerful movie scenes were made so by the opera played as background. I began to take opera adult-ed classes to find out how this music could move you when you don't even know what they are singing about. It's been enjoyable to learn the little that I have so far. Still going to OLLI classes to learn more.

    This opera recounts the tale of a courtesan, a paid woman, kinda like her only more expensive.

      Yes, that's right, the movie was loosely based on La Traviata - even the names are similar - Violetta - Vivian, Alfredo - Edward. But unlike the opera, in this version Violetta/ Vivian ends up happily ever after with Alfredo /Edward. Just as well - I don't think it would have been as much of a box office hit if Julia Roberts died of tuberculosis instead of kissing Richard Gere on the fire escape

    One of the greatest joys of dating was watching the expressions of your date when exposed to something new. Whether a puppet show or a live band. If it was good and joyous the wonders of a beautiful woman seeing something beautiful was truly inspiring and something emblazoned on my memory for ever. A true joy. Few things bring me more joy.

    Heavy handed metaphor. "In Pretty Woman, Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) takes Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) to an opera where they see "La Traviata." An opera where a rich playboy falls in love with a courtesan (high-class prostitute: "Kept woman").
    In the necklace scene, the closing of the box was ad-libbed. But, Julia's laugh prompted the director to keep the scene.

    • @chooseyourpoison5105
      @chooseyourpoison5105 Год назад +4

      Yes it's pretty obvious where Pretty Woman drew it's inspiration from. Even the character names are similar, just modernised; Violetta became Vivian and Alfredo was changed to Edward. I'm glad they deviated from the La Traviata ending, though - Julia Roberts dying of tuberculosis in Richard Gere's arms would have been a real downer

      La Traviata, an opera by Verdi. Pretty Woman is loosely based on this opera, where rich playboy Alfredo (the name was changed to Edward in the movie) falls in love with prostitute Violetta (Vivian in the movie). However the ending is different, in the opera she dies at the end, but of course in the movie they live happily ever after.

      A lot of people think that just because they can squeak their way to the whistle register that it suddenly makes them an opera singer. Mariah Carey's mother was an opera singer, and even Mariah respected the artform enough to leave it alone.
