Find yourself

After watching this movie, I almost shed tears in two places. One is that Rosemery and Hal were not recognized when they passed by. You can imagine how heartache she was at the time, like when she was at the bottom of a mountain. At this point of hope, at this time, with the encouragement of another person, I gradually started to walk towards the mountain, and what I saw during the ascent of the mountain was always beautiful, but suddenly there was a cliff, and there was no way to go back. Falling heavily, this is more painful than before going up the mountain; the second is when Hal meets the girl with burns again, I feel that at this time Hal's thoughts and feelings have undergone a deeper change, and he begins to feel what is truly beautiful.
In this film, I saw a common psychological trap. As the psychotherapist inside said, each of us is hypnotized, hypnotized by the beauty filtered by various media. We have all kinds of beautiful imaginations about our ideal partner and ideal life, so we often ignore the reality around us and induce all kinds of dissatisfaction. One's own needs are not met, and various kinds of bad feelings such as anxiety, depression and anxiety appear, and various psychological disorders occur at the same time. Restore the original self, this is the role of psychological counseling, just as Hal only realized what is true beauty after being hypnotized by a psychological counselor.
Only by discovering the truest and most original self can you gain true happiness.

    I've watched it many times in different places, but still haven't seen it all... But for Gwyneth, 4 stars!

    No.16 Gwyneth is in such a good shape, a beauty like her should be with the lead singer of coolplay. The movie itself is so-so.

Shallow Hal quotes

  • [Walt puts on a pair of rubber gloves]

    Nurse Tanya Peeler: What are those for?

    Walt: You ever walked through a truck-stop men's room on your hands?

  • Artie: It never occurred to you that picking girls solely on their looks may not be the best way to go about it?

    Hal: What, am I supposed to apologize for having high standards?

    Jen: High standards? In the five years I've known you, every woman, I should say girl, you've gone after has been completely out of your league.

    Hal: What's that supposed to mean?

    Artie: Oh, she doesn't mean anything by it. She's just saying you're not that good looking.

    Hal: Oh! I thought she was implying something really mean.
