Just finished watching "Confessions of a Shopper", which tells the story of the heroine Rebecca, a shopaholic who realizes her mistakes and finally makes a change. Rebecca has been working for a few years, but she has a penny I haven’t saved up, many credit cards in my hands have been maxed out, and I have a lot of debt bills in my hands. I dodge debt collection every day and often lie about it. I often can’t resist the temptation to promote discounted products, just like her It is said in the movie: Shopping can bring her happiness, but after buying it, she feels unhappy again, so she wants to continue buying. So I couldn't stop this endless shopping desire. One day, in order to go for an interview and matching, Rebecca took a fancy to a green scarf in the store, but the credit card in her hand was not enough to buy it completely. After swiping a few cards, it was still not enough, but the scarf It was the last one in the store, so Rebecca ran to the store and wanted to exchange her credit card for $20 in cash. Luke, the male protagonist, also bought hot dogs here. Finally, Luke gave her $20 and said: You want $20, and I only Want hot dogs. Who knew that Luke was the person in charge of the company she went to interview, and Rebecca also lied during the interview, saying that she could speak Finnish and so on. But in the end, the interview results were not ideal, so Rebecca wrote two letters, one letter to Islay fashion magazine expressing her value and wanting to join, and the other letter expressing her love for Luke The disdain of financial magazines. But the letter was sent in the wrong way, so Rebecca joined the financial magazine and wrote an article explaining investment using the theory of women buying shoes after an impulse purchase, which was unexpectedly welcomed by readers. , Rebecca quickly became a celebrity in the financial world. While getting along with Luke, Luke admired him because of his unique ideas, and was also attracted by his warm and true character, and the two gradually developed a spark of love.
In order to keep her job, Rebecca lied that the debt collector Derek was her ex-boyfriend and often came to pester him; and in order to continue her beautiful love, Rebecca hid the fact that she owed more than nine thousand dollars, But the habit of shopping addiction still can't be changed, the paper can't wrap the fire, and the lie will eventually be exposed; so later in an interview on a TV show, the debt collector Derek exposed her lie, Luke found out It's all a lie, she's been lying to him all the time, and Rebecca has lost her love with her own hands. And when I chose, I also chose the dress I wore on the show instead of the bridesmaid dress I wore to my best friend's wedding, so my friendship was lost. Rebecca, who had nothing at all, finally realized her mistake, so she decided to change her mind and sell all the goods she bought. After all the goods were sold, they recovered more than 1,600 dollars, even the one that brought love. The lucky green scarf was also auctioned off, and when it sold, Rebecca told the bidders that it could bring you love. But the bidder was sent by Luke, so in the end, Luke came to see Rebecca with a green scarf, Rebecca paid off all the debts, and finally Rebecca retrieved the bridesmaid dress and appeared in her best friend Susie. at the wedding. The reformed Rebecca found so many wonderful things to do besides shopping and really went to learn Finnish.
The film itself seems to give us two reasons, one is to consume rationally, do not consume things beyond your ability due to impulsive impulses, and learn to manage money; Good at discovering all the beauty in the world. The other is to reject lies and be a sincere person. Once you tell a lie, you must use another lie to make up the first lie. When the lie is finally revealed, the price you have to pay will be higher, so be sincere and don't lie.
