Showing a Parallel Universe
The movie’s opera show, the Italian La Traviata, that Edward and Vivian went to see together was about a man who falls in love with a lady of the night. Well, well, well. Coincidence? We think not. The storyline of the opera show was very similar to Viv and Ed’s real-life story, except for a few notable differences.

For one thing, the ending of the opera story was tragic. The woman dies, leaving her lover in despair. A sad ending, for sure. Pretty Woman, however, had a very Disney-esque ending, where the two lovers were reunited at the end. But then, what else could be expected of a Disney movie, anyway? Somehow, it seems that Disney can’t bring itself to disappoint its characters and audience.
