I like this movie so much, because it did it: tell the sad things with a smile. No matter how flawed the plot is, I laughed and was moved.
The first time I saw Schumer, the lead actor, was on the SNL weekend night scene. At that time, I was attracted by her natural sense of joy. In fact, among comedy actresses in the fat world, she has too many competitors and too many hits, but she can still make a bloody road. It can be seen that her acting skills are extraordinary, plus the Emmy Award blessing. , It is said that she is a popular fried chicken in the comedy world, she should be almost as popular as our Jia Ling. Therefore, I was especially looking forward to seeing the trailer of this movie before.
The plot of the movie is very old-fashioned, similar to Mel Gibson's "What Women want" and Andy Lau's later remake of "I Know Women's Heart". It was an accident (lightning strike, head hit) that caused the protagonist to acquire a kind of The special function, just when the protagonist was promoted and raised, became the general manager, became the CEO, married Bai Fumei, and embarked on the critical moment of the peak of life, this special function suddenly disappeared. Although old-fashioned, but very beautiful, this may be the reason why it repeatedly appears in movies and TV series. Renee is the same, except that this kind of special function appears in her psychology, not appearance or actual ability. This is clearly expressed in the name of the movie, I feel pretty, not really pretty, so I don’t need to play here. Thoroughly, the movie's name itself is already spoiled.
Therefore, the film is mainly divided into three parts: before the transformation, after the transformation and the recovery period.
Before transforming:
Renee has the same low self-esteem as how many chubby girls or teenagers with acne-faced faces. He is ridiculed by people around him. From the reception of the gym, to the waiter in the clothing store, to the front desk of the cosmetics company, the cold words, intentionally or unintentionally, sound funny. Thinking carefully and very mean, it must be very cruel to the person's ears. Career and love are both at a trough, only two good friends accompany her crazy, talking about dreams that she dare not talk to outsiders, but when the reality is reached, she is immediately beaten back to her original shape. Looking at her bloated body, she dreams of becoming thinner and thinner. beautiful. Isn't this the life that most of us face every day! I guess many people must be very impressed.
After transforming:
Finally, there was a chance to get her head hit and completely changed her mind. She instantly felt that she became beautiful, and she crazily confirmed that she was Renee with friends and people around her, fearing that others would not recognize it, and as a result, there were black question mark faces. This paragraph basically contracted all the jokes of the movie. Renee, who was full of self-confidence, gained love and got the offer of dream job. The part where she participated in the bikini competition was too classic, and that part of the wet body dance was really a crowd. This should be the culmination of her self-confidence explosion. In the end, I had two surprises when she lost the election. The first was that she lost the election. I thought the screenwriter would give her an unexpected reward for her confidence, but the result was not. There was no result in a fight. Instead, he accepted all of this calmly, and Ah Q seemed to say that there was a shady game in the game, thinking that he was the uncrowned king, and his emotional intelligence was no longer there. The progress of the story with the female boss of the cosmetics company is a bit false and sensational. I don't know the feelings of the rich, so I won't comment here.
Recovery period:
The happy time was always short, and another unexpected impact brought Renee back to reality. However, it is not so much sober, as it is still in a dream, but this time it is a nightmare. Everything went back to the past, Renee became inferior again, temporarily gave up work, and even wanted to give up this relationship. She was shocked when she tried to redeem her friendship but was mercilessly rejected. She tried to fall again to make the miracle happen again but also failed miserably. In the end, she appeared at the cosmetics company event where she was supposed to appear. Seeing the contrast photos of herself before and after her transformation on the big screen, she suddenly realized that she hadn't changed at all. Such a sudden discovery made me feel quite sudden. Then there was a touching chicken soup for the soul, a summary of my own mental journey and life perception, and encouraged the ugly duckling like her to face herself confidently. To be honest, she was really moved by her at that time. The last is happy ending, of course. Work is back, and love is back. In fact, like Renee said, Americans were super invincible and confident when they were young, thinking that they own the whole world, but they gradually recognize themselves and become less confident when they grow up. I remember that Chopped, a food competition program on the Food Network channel, had a children's version of the competition. One of the Asian girls was unbelievably confident. In the end, she was unsuccessfully crying because she didn't expect to lose.
After watching the movie, I have the urge to write a film review, and I want to share the laughter at the movie theater and my feelings. Renee's success after her transformation is definitely not from her beauty, but from her eloquence and thoughts. Self-confidence is one aspect, strength is also one aspect, and more importantly, if she is clumsy and tongue-tied, she will become beautiful. It can only be reduced to a vase. In the United States, everyone only listens to people who speak loudly. Whether you say it or not, Trump is an example, so practice your eloquence. If one day becomes beautiful, someone will pay attention to you. Although the movie talks about the spiritual level, on the physical level, exercise does make people feel confident. As a regular exercise three to five times a week, I feel the same way. Every time I sweat, I feel my muscles. Tight, light body, firm skin. Fortunately, this is not an illusion like Renee, but a real occurrence. And as long as the intensity is enough, it will be more or less effective every time and will never let you down. After long-term persistence, a person's figure will be completely changed, and self-confidence will definitely follow. Exercising is something that will never betray you, and you will always be rewarded.
This movie is recommended to all those who were born in humble beginnings and those who have lost their original self-confidence! You will find that when you change your mind in life, the sky is brighter.
