Maybe I'm the only one...
Maybe I'm the only one who thought that what they showed the men doing to her while she was asleep was mild...I mean, I can just imagine so much worse....the one guy was rough and the cigarette burning was really bad but outside of that....it seemed like these guys just needed sexual/intimate company without expectations from their partner.
Also, everyone keep commenting on her lack of emotion....I thought that while she wasn't a very emotion character....as someone who does those types of jobs in real life would be emotionally dettached from things that are just job related and money makers and not person...especially sex work of any kind this is expected. I actually saw her as emotional for the way she cried with birdman multiple times and when nothing sad was actually happening at the moment but obviously she was saddened by her thoughts/emotions/feelings.
I said in another thread, but I'll say here too a couple of thoughts I had about the questions we all have after watching the film....
That the film was not a great work and the ending was frustrating and odd for most of us....but that despite the viewpoint that it was trying to be something with depth but wasn't successful....that most people have.....it actually has a number of threads/comments/responses by people including myself analyzing and working out the movie and the meanings....so it was successful in a way....making people think and come up with explanations for what they've seen....
Those wondering about why the old men wanted to have a sleeping young woman in bed who they couldn't have sex with....for every fetish, there is an industry that caters to it....and this could be one of them. It makes me think of necrophilia....also a lot of men require dominance and some want a woman to be silent....maybe it is about control....maybe these men have the desire to be with someone who is sleeping...maybe it is a service for older men who can't perform sexually but still want the company of the young and beautiful. Personally...I think it is about these men wanting a "sexual" experience with no expectations from their partner...whatever defines expectations....with this sleeping girl...there is no work, shame, failure, goal to achieve....
A thought I also considered:.... I work with hospice and it occurs to me after she was with her "friend" when he was dying and then with the old man at the end and the fact that they are all old men at the service....what if this is similar to hospice which is an organization that provides comfort medication to the dying....what if it was like that....and they were basically all dying....and it is entirely possible that even if that were the case, she could still be upset as she was at the end because I've dealt with hospice nurses and sometimes they do get get emotional at the death of a patient because of whatever connection they felt or their own way of coping with death....just a theory...
