When Oldman's character says "You have given my country to gangsters and prostitutes"...
... did he mean "prostitutes" literally as in "sex workers" or did he mean it either metaphorically or something alone the lines of POLITICAL prostitutes?
shareHe meant both.
shareIf his complaint was also about sex workers, then I wonder, how can an American president "give Russia (his country)" to prostitutes as in sex workers, was he implying something along the lines of how the US President helped make prostitution in Russia legal, and since Oldman's character sees it as a bad thing, then in that sense, it somehow caused him and his country losses, but in what sense?
Or was it altogether really something else he meant?
No the first part is exactly what happened according the the film.
shareI wonder, what does he have against prostitutes and prostitution that even during the critical film climax after he discovers that it was him who killed his men and that all this time he was posing a danger to his life too, does he go out of his way to mention it and gets angry and holds him at gunpoint and states it?
However, I might be wrong but, I kinda can't help but feel that he really meant political prostitutes and even "gangsters" who are perhaps tied to a political power etc.
Maybe there's an interview with Gary Oldman where he explains it etc.
I haven't seen this in years but frankly prostitution is immoral and there's a good reason it's illegal through out most of the U.S. Frankly if Harrison Ford's character pushed for it to be legal in Russia then he's not a person I would ever vote for.
shareOr maybe he meant political prostitution, which may, for one, be even worse, sex or no sex, lol.
