I thought about it, a good love movie is a bit monolithic if it only talks about love. So I thought about it many times in my mind, and I still felt that I would recommend to you a movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic", also known as "American Prodigal Story", which has a deep plot and depth!
This is a story about a shopaholic. The film's heroine, Besca, is a magazine editor who likes to shop everywhere. She overdraws her credit card to buy things she can't use because she can't control herself.
Therefore, she owed a debt of 10,000 US dollars, which caused a professional debt collection company to chase after her. Since the gardening magazine she worked for closed down, in order to repay the debt, she had to work for a financial magazine that she knew nothing about.
Her boss is a man who was once tricked by her into buying a green scarf for her aunt. She even got this job because she sent the wrong cover letter and her boss mistakenly thought that she was willing to work in this magazine. In order to pay off her debts, she could only come here to work for a period of time.
By chance, her writing about "The Relationship Between Shoes and Financial Management" won him the approval of his boss, and he wanted her to write an article "How the Adjustment of International Financial Interest Rates Affects Credit Cards" in plain language.
She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, asking her to spend money, write articles, or financial articles. If she really wrote it, she wouldn't be in debt of $10,000.
SO, she just wanted to search for an article on Google and copy it down, but her boss found a new breakthrough in financial management articles
——The public does not know how to manage money, so they can only rely on search engines. If this magazine makes financial management easy to understand, then there is no need to worry about sales!
They really experimented, and Beska published an easy-to-understand financial analysis article under the nickname "Green Scarf Girl". Unexpectedly, it was very popular and received unprecedented feedback. Therefore, they were invited to participate in the economic forum.
Just when Besca was complacent because of her little fame, her debt collector also found the company she worked for through various methods and sent a debt collection notice.
In order not to let this man affect his image, Besca lied that the debt collector was his ex-boyfriend, a stalker, which made the company full of sympathy for Besca.
They get their way to an economic forum, and while traveling together, Besca gradually learns that her boss— William, who has a big secret under his scruffy suit image—is the rightful heir to the Sherman family business.
The reason why he doesn't want to inherit the family business is that he wants to use his own abilities to make his own world. This point is similar to some Chinese "overbearing presidents falling in love with you". The male protagonist does not want to inherit the family business anyway. After the female protagonist knows about his family business, she immediately falls in love with the male protagonist.
Yes, Besca fell in love with William for no reason. At this time, the little three, oh no, the second female came on stage. The second female had long legs and a thin waist. As soon as she appeared, she completely compared Besca.
The second female also saw that William liked Besca. Just when Besca was changing clothes for TV variety shows in the fitting room, she answered the call from the debt collector and successfully made a big stumbling block for Besca.
This stumbling block directly caused Besca to lose her job, and she also had a conflict with her best friend due to an accident, and even lost her best friend relationship. ——The debt collector broadcasted the news of Beska’s credit debt of $10,000 on live TV, which not only caused her to lose her job and William’s relationship, but also caused William to quit the financial magazine.
After going through all this, she sincerely regretted it, and felt that she deserved to lose her best friend and lover because she swiped her credit card for something that was not practical.
The group held an item auction for her. The items in the auction were all bought by her with a credit card. As soon as the auction was invited, it attracted a lot of girls who were looking for cheap and beautiful clothes.
On the day of the auction, the scene was full of water, and when the last item was auctioned, the green scarf, she hesitated. It was bought when she and William knew each other. In order to make a change, she reluctantly sold it.
Next, she used the auction money to pay off her debts. However, it was not a normal repayment - she exchanged all the ten thousand dollars for coins, which was enough for a house, which was enough for the debt collectors for a while. .
On the wedding day of her best friend, she wore the bridesmaid dress that her best friend gave her, and was forgiven by her best friend. You must think this is the end, right!
No, at the end of the movie, she walks by the shop window in a bridesmaid dress, crystal glass full of high heels, designer bags and clothes. But she didn't have the desire to buy it. At this time, the display models in the window on a street seemed to be alive, clapping their hands to celebrate Besca.
Celebrating that Besca is no longer a shopaholic, when Besca gets to the end of Window Street, William is there waiting for her, still holding the green scarf from when they first met, they kiss together, the movie Finish.
This movie, which was released in 2009, has long since changed because of the trend in the film, and the costume design no longer conforms to the definition of fashion films in today's film industry. However, the revelation given to us in this film is still very relevant and thought-provoking in the self-awakening current "consumerist culture".
Do you want beauty? It doesn't matter, 24 interest-free installments are ready for you. It doesn't matter if you don't have a good-looking dress for a date. Major shopping websites have already withdrawn from installment shopping. The Prada bag and CHANEL suit you like can already be purchased by installment.
In short, in today's shopping culture, most people have long been buying things they don't need based on the principle of "pleasure" instead of "practical".
The mental state of "pleasure" is too easy to satisfy, and capital and businessmen can easily capture the hearts of "young people" - you should shop when you break up, and shop when you are unhappy. There is no girl or boy. Because sloppy is popular.
Like "The Devil Wears Prada", this film reveals what the film wants to express through the change of the heroine's understanding before and after - the confession of a shopaholic, it describes a person, but It seems to be thousands of girls who like to shop.
Everyone likes good-looking things, but everything has a certain degree. If it passes, it will cause trouble for themselves.
Just like Beska, even though the credit card has been overdrawn, but regardless of the debt, blindly buying new bags and clothes, in the end, it is yourself who suffers.
Luxury is an eternal topic of fashion movies. As long as there are fashion movies, there are bound to be luxuries like flowing water and endless luxury.
But we movie audiences should pay attention, the luxury goods in the movie are all for the protagonist's plot, and in the end, the protagonist will definitely repent.
But in reality, there are some people who yearn for the life of these drunken fans or even deliberately imitate them.
Dressing properly and fashionably can indeed make everyone appreciate you more, but a person's clothing, family background, financial resources, and taste cannot be reflected by a famous brand. What really makes us respected is education and conversation!
In addition to showing love, this movie can reveal the truth, which is a good movie. The film won the 11th American Teen Choice Award for "Best Romance Movie".
