@bizzniss : you know you're insulting people because you're not confident in your argumentation right ? Can't believe Mobocracy replied to you AND didn't return your gratuitous insult. Lucky you.
If your counter argument is that "there [is so] many exerpts where they acknowledge it, I was just poiting ONE out", why don't you point the other ones instead of insulting people ? Answer : cause there are none.
Just watched the movie and noticed absolutely no passage at all that confirm Marcy is a prostitute. Your statement is a personal interpretation and even an assumption wouldn't confirm it but rather that Marcy is nymphomaniac. In the "best case scenario", an extended interpretation would be that Marcy would use sex to gain power, just like Mobocracy suggested. -

Mercy is a messed up girl, living among the working poor, with no hope. All she had going for her was pretty looks (which the film shows are fading fast), parties and numerous hook ups.
She follows the Warriors because they are different, particularly Swan. By the time the subway scene comes up, she has pinned all her hopes for change on him. All she has to offer him is sex but he wants emotional connection. Something that Mercy can't offer him at that moment.
I find the subway scene where the faded Mercy comes face up with a slumming rich prom girl extremely sad. Swan shows her empathy and it changes her. It was what she needed to start her change.
