Week 8 EOC Is She Fair Game?

Roman Holiday is a movie starring Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck, and Eddie Albert where Hepburn is a royal princess, Peck is a reporter, and Albert being his photographer friend. The princess, Hepburn, wants to experience the life outside of the palace that she has always been trapped in. One night she escapes the palace with no one catching her sneak out and goes into the city. Peck's character finds her and takes her to his place for the night. Then later the next morning after looking at a newspaper with the princess on the front cover he discovers that the young lady he brought home last night was the princess. Also he tells his boss that he will have a personal interview with the princess. All three of them, photographer, reporter, and princess, go an adventure in Rome for a whole day to do all the things that she has always wanted to do. The photographer takes photos of her during their day of fun and at the end of the day she goes back home. The reporter decides that he doesn't want to say anything about the princess and her day in the city because he decieved her and could ruin her name. The photographer wanted to make money off of the photos he got of the princess but decides to be like his friend, Peck, and give her the pictures he got printed. I think the way they went to not expose her fun day and all the activities she had done to the public or anyone else was a good choice. It is not a good thing to have your name ruin in society because of who you are especially when you go back to do what you are needed to do. Personally I believe the reporter went that route was because he fell for her and that doesn't seem like a good reason to give up something good for the person you like. Still I think not telling of the things the princess did was a good way to go. I believe I might of gone that way but it really may of depended on the money I would of made from that and see if it would of been worth degrading someone down.
