Subject: Not A Bad Film
Date: Dec 21, 2006
I agree that this film was in no way a love story. I further agree that Fred, whose only circumspection about procuring the services of under aged prostitutes seemed to stem from legal considerations, was a wholly repugnant character. However, I don't think it makes "Raja" a bad film. I think that this film portrayed Fred as an unsympathetic exploitative piece of garbage. It also realistically showed that he did not see himself in that vein. And, it did this without falling into the clichŽ of characterizing Raja as a saint. She existed in the kind of state of anomie that one would expect someone who was orphaned at 10, forced into child prostitution and abused and exploited at every turn.
