mod 135640 Report post Posted September 3, 2009 I suspect this is a pirated version of this movie? Also the link requires some Ninjabrowser helper thing... (Would STRONGLY recommend NOT installing such things - they are known for caring virus/Trojans that your anti virus will miss!!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest W***ledi*Time Report post Posted September 4, 2009 the movie girlfriend experience ... what are your thoughts I haven't seen it myself, but some members' opinions can be found here: http://cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=11406 and also here: http://cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=14714 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rileydaniels 1901 Report post Posted September 18, 2009 I found the movie to be very poorly done. and didn't capture anything about the escort lifestyle. Secret Diary of a Call Girl tv series is a bit more accurate even though it's made for television. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest S**iJ****ne Report post Posted September 18, 2009 I tried to watch it a couple times but couldnt get through the first 10 mins. It seemed a little boring. I don't think a show could properly capture what we do. TV likes to protray it as a negative thing. I personally love doing it and meet alot of great gentlemen.

O*****C***G*** 100 Report post Posted October 3, 2009 I think it is kind of funny that two very different movies, released a year apart, had the exact same name - The Girlfriend Experience (by Steven Soderbergh) and Girlfriend Experience (by Vancouver independent filmmaker Ileana Pietrobruno). In either case, I personally prefer the British tv series - Secret Diary of A Call Girl - with the ever-cute Billie Piper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O*****C***G*** 100 Report post Posted October 4, 2009 The canadian one anyone know where I can watch it Mmm...I personally "found" and downloaded it on the internet :) A little difficult to find as most of the files were for the other version with Sasha Grey. It was also available a little while ago on Rogers TV (under movie documentaries). Not sure if it is still available on there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buggernot 588 Report post Posted October 5, 2009 ...and now I can say I have finally seen the Canadian "Girlfriend Experience". I had a bad feeling when it started. It is a fictional story filmed as a documentary, and that method of storytelling I typically find pretentious or annoying. But as the film progressed, it became obvious that it served the narrative extremely well and was used to great effect, and actually became part of the movie's underlying motif. Even though the main character (Daniel) was an extreme case of obsession regarding his involvement with sex workers, there were many thoughts and emotions expressed - especially in the beginning of the film - that were so very close to my own 'girlfriend experiences'. Of course not everything was spot-on, but there was a lot of truth regarding some clients' perspectives...good and bad. It plays very heavily on the mind fuck aspect for the client, and this was underlined in certain ways that I found quite brilliant. You never see or hear the object of Daniel's obsession, and re-inactments were filmed to illustrate what "really" happens. In one scene, Daniel is having a conversation with the sp he is obsessing over as she is leaving. As the actress finishes her line, he wants to stop and do a re-take because he wants to stress that she didn't say it like that - use more sarcasm. Since you don't hear how the sp spoke the words in the first place, you are left questioning his original perception of the conversation. We don't remember how things happen, we distort the versions into the truth we want to believe. Even the credits at the beginning and the end of the film for the director are meant to mess with your mind...see if you catch that one ;) Definitely worth watching though, I was impressed...

buggernot 588 Report post Posted October 5, 2009 Btw, if anyone wants to find a copy of the Canadian GFE movie, send me a PM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
overdone 273 Report post Posted October 5, 2009 I saw both of these movies and quite frankly I wish I had been deaf and blind for that period in time. If you want to find a copy of the Canadian one, I got one from Blockbusters. Who should have paid me money to take the thing and destroy it for them. No one else should be subjected to torture like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
