world of beauty and desire

This world of beauty and desire is one in which Emily Browning's character prostitutes herself in a high class brothel in a game where she takes sleeping pills that would fell a rhino and allows dirty old men to sleep with her while she is unconscious. (But with no actual penetration). Real beauty there, eh what? Emily Browning was chosen coz when she did the screen test she sounded and acted like she had ALREADY dropped a handful of Nembutal. So she was a natural. The dialog, as especially when the Madam explains what she has to do, is far too uppity and la-di-dah for Australia. In Oz, the Madam would say something "Ok Cindy, you got it. Customer can cop a feel but no jiggy jiggy. You get a good night's sleep, and wake up to a nice cuppa." I'm making a sequel in which I also star: it's called "Sleeping himbo". Girls pay good money to sleep with me while I'm pissed to the eyeballs and out like a light. What a life! Eh? Eh, wot? Myles325a (talk) 07:50, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Charming, Myles. While we're stating our personal opinions, I noticed the similarity in the premise to meat puppets in William Gibson's Neuromancer. Fences&Windows 20:54, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Having seen the film, I must admit that Myles' description is more correct. "... is drawn into a world of beauty and desire" was straight from the advertising bureau and hopelessly inadequate. I replaced it with something more along the lines of Myles. Anybody care to add a "Plot" section? Debresser (talk) 22:17, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the purpose of the plot - to retell the plot?? Not to state whether you did or did not like a movie??? Ok, you didn't like it. I did. In fact, it was the most moving, disturbing, beautiful thing that I've seen in a long time. Neither of opinions is relative to the plot section. 69.119.232.155 (talk) 04:41, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Plot?

It's been out for a while now, why hasn't a plot been put up? I myself would like to know exactly who that random friend she kept visiting was meant to be and what the whole point of that was. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.34.178 (talk) 05:44, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No point to much of the "plot". The central character was simply a prostitute, doing various peculiar jobs.203.184.41.226 (talk) 05:37, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you personally did not like the movie, it is not a reason enough to say "no point in putting up the plot". Myself, along with many other viewers, found the movie beautiful and deeply moving. No need to impose your shallow understanding on others. Cosainsé (talk) 04:29, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

'College'

This is an Australian film in an Australian setting. Why are American terms being used in the description? Can we change this to university please? 120.29.48.80 (talk) 11:56, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bridmann's death

I was under the impression that Birdmann committed suicide, not overdosed on drugs as the article says (meaning intentional suicide, not accidental overdose). When Lucy comes, she picks up a pack of factory-packaged pills. Though I guess its not a hard proof. However, suicide would mirror the ending - Bridmann wanted her to comfort him before his death, just as the host of the party did at the end. 69.119.232.155 (talk) 04:30, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
