Review of Showgirls

i think this is a film about a female drifter who climbs the social ladder from a stripper to a showgirl only to find that being a showgirl is not as glamorous as she has imagined. during her quest for fame and success, she lost her innocence by doing drugs, tripping her competitor into injury and sleep with her boss to win the upper hand. by doing so she ruined all her effort of going to a new town and start a new life. she tried to maintain innocence by refusing to call herself a whore, refusing to have spontaneous sex. but at the end, she surrendered to the temptation of career success by leaving all her moral inhibitions behind. after a rape of her closest friend which served as a wake up call for her to end this insanity, she quits her job and move on to a new town to pursue her dream with bitter lessons learned! what a sad story this is!

for those who can't appreciate this movie: this is not an adult movie serving to entertain you. it is a movie that shows us the importance of morality. it makes you think about what is life all about.

as of the cast, elizabeth berkley portrayed her role perfectly, a small-town girl with a big ambition and little knowledge of the real world. she has, to say the least, very beautiful eyes and lips. gina gershon is a symbol of evil in this movie and she is purely disgusting and ugly, good job too. the other male characters are also real-life like, mean and pathetic, the way men bosses should be in las vegas.
