Synopsis of Pretty Baby

This film describes that in New Orleans at the beginning of this century, a photographer wandered around brothels all day, taking photos of prostitutes, and fell madly in love with a 1 1 year-old prostitute.

The story begins at 19 17. Just before the United States is about to enter World War I, New Orleans is cleaned up and Jazz moves north. In a brothel in the red light district of New Orleans, Violet, a 12-year-old girl, lives with her prostitute mother Heidi and her younger brother Will. Bayloc is a photographer. He often comes to brothels to take pictures of prostitutes. Violet and her mother like this unkempt and shy young man very much. Violet grew up in a brothel, not ashamed of the life of a prostitute, but yearned for the life of an adult like almost all children. After a grand "coming of age ceremony", violette proudly auctioned her virginity.

Shortly after Violet officially went to sea, her mother left the brothel with her younger brother Will and married a rich man. Violette, who was abandoned by her mother, became grumpy and often quarreled with others, and finally left the brothel to live with Bayloc. But violet is still young after all, and she is very dependent and repulsive. She never understood Bayloc's interest in photography, and was finally kicked out of the house by Bayloc.

The wave of cleaning up the red-light district in New Orleans is getting worse and worse. People March, demonstrate, set fire, and even take street violence against these red-light households. Just as the brothel was about to close, Bayloc proposed to violette, and they said goodbye to their old sister in the brothel on the river bank.

They haven't been married long. Heidi, accompanied by her husband, came back to violette and wanted to take her back, hoping that she would receive a "good education" from the bourgeoisie. Bayloc had no choice but to give up Violet. At the station, Heidi's vulgar businessman husband took a commemorative photo of the family with his camera.

This is almost the earliest Mahler's works that we can see, all because of brooke shields's brilliant reputation in the world. Mahler is not only a serious film writer, but also a star-making expert. It was Mahler who first discovered Moro in those days and Sue today.

This film comes from Mahler's yearning for American jazz when it moved northward, his love for early photos and his consistent concern for corrupt teenagers faced by the adult world. The combination of the three became the original intention of Mahler to create this film. The description of the film is realistic, with a touch of sadness at the same time, as if it were melancholy for the declining jazz and the lost innocence.
