so dirty pretty things is
a british film directed by Steven Frears
it stars a Nigerian immigrant his name is Okwe
and he came to London to make a better life
for himself He works as a mini cab driver by day and
a hotel receptionist by night
well one night when he is working
he went in one of the hotel rooms and in the toilette
he found a human heart
I mean he wanted to tell the authorities
but he couldn't do that and risk being deported
so he keeps it to himself
he eventually confide in Senay
it is played by Audrey Tautou
Senay is a Turkish immigrant
who found refuge in London
save by herself so they both have similar interest
but Okwe never really explains himself to her
he is like the strong silent type
but he won't tell her a story
he never even told her he is from Nigeria
his boss found out
but they both know this heart
and eventually they find out that their boss is heading an illegal
operation in the hotel
well I mean they form a close bond but they still can't
tell anyone
but there is an undeniable attraction between the two through out the film
Okwey just insisted that it can't be
I mean you learn why but he won't tell you
and I don't know Senay got frustrated
with this and eventually she just wants him to leave her alone
but the director Steven Frears shows the ugly side
of unscene London he doesn't try to glorify it at all
I mean it's about the real deal
and had 4 wins at the
british indipedent film award and it was nominated for an Oscar
and had 16 other wins in 19 other nomination
so it really got out there as it should
because it's powerful should get our recognition
my favorite part is the quotes that have double meaning said had double meaning
one british caracter who is checking
into the hotel asks Okwey How can I never seen you here before
and Okwey responds because we are the people you never see
which obviously has a double meaning
I work the night. He doesn't mean I work the night shift we're here but you just
don't know about us don't know about our lives
so melissawatch gave this a 9 out of 10
it really is informative and powerful
