from this movie and it be easy to see how the director make it out of holland and land in mainstream hollywood . he take a very serious subject and extreme poverty and how it lead to social uprising and and add his personal light touch that almost make you forget the political subtext . the finger shadow scene before the rape be a touch of cinematic genius that i almost miss the first time around . the ultimate lesson seem to me to be and of course and that we be all whore and it just depend on how much we can afford to spend on clothes . one question and if she be so poor and how do she keep her root die blonde .
