As a fan of Zhan, you must have summed up the various general offensive auras of co-actresses with Yimei Juju, or the tragic experience of being crushed by Yimei.
After all the above-mentioned abuse of the heroine, we finally ushered in a cute comedy movie with a cute and silly heroine. This is also the source of a beautiful and charming hat costume, which is a rare survival and happy he in the extremely high mortality rate in his movie.
This film tells the story of a noble lady Penelope who has a pig nose due to a family curse. It is rumored that the noble prince must give her a kiss to her true love to lift the curse. Her parents tried their best to conceal her current situation and offered excellent conditions to attract the children of noble families, but they were all frightened by the pig nose and ran away. Under her mother's tough measures, those people did not spread her situation, so it was considered calm, until one day, an aristocratic heir, Edward, was lost...
Peter Dinkl, who played the little devil in "Game of Thrones" In it, Qi plays the gossip reporter Raymond, who once sneaked into Penelope's house to take her photo, but was injured by her mother in the right eye, so he always wanted revenge. After meeting the terrified Edward, the two hit it off and wanted to find someone to take a photo of Penelope on a blind date and publicize it, so they hired a beautiful actor, Max, who is said to be a down-to-earth aristocrat who loves gambling. , to take a candid photo of Penelope.
Max came to Penelope's house. Penelope wanted to use his face to scare away the blind date, but Max stayed because he didn't see it by coincidence. Penelope mistakenly thought that he didn't mind his appearance and was very happy. The two talked for a long time through the one-way glass. They got along very happily and were attracted to each other, but when Penelope appeared in front of Max , he was taken aback while a camera device in Max's clothes captured Penelope's face.
After Max learned the truth, he didn't want Penelope to be hurt and chose to destroy the photo. Penelope hoped that he could marry her to break the curse, but he refused. Because his real identity is not the real aristocrat Max, but the commoner Johnny Martin, who was an impostor for money, so he could not lift the curse.
Penelope felt betrayed and ran away from home in a fit of rage. She met many friends outside, and also saw Edward, who learned of her running away, posted pictures of her smearing her in newspapers, but she understood the taste of freedom and decided to be brave. Faced with her pig nose, she didn't want to hide because of this anymore, so she released her photo. Unexpectedly, she was unexpectedly popular with the public. She became everyone's darling, and Edward's reputation was disgraced.
In order to redeem the family's mistakes caused by his stupid behavior, Edward was forced to propose to Penelope. Penelope wanted to refuse, but the mother admitted that although everyone likes you, they just treat her as a talking person. It's just a pig, only he is willing to marry you.
Penelope reluctantly agreed to get married, but before taking the oath, she chose to face herself. She felt that she was fine now, and she didn't have to cater to "normal people" to be a "normal person". At that moment, The curse is broken.
Edward and Raymond also realized their mistakes and became human again.
Penelope learns the truth about Martin leaving him, forgives and finds him, and the two live happily together.
In fact, just looking at the first half of this movie is a very good and interesting comedy movie. Although the plot is a bit cliché and the performances and special effects are exaggerated, the character settings are very brilliant and very humorous. It's a pity that the rhythm of the second half is obviously too fast. It seems that after finishing the process, I quickly recognize myself. Moreover, Martin's role is too small, and there is no Eduardo. The spark between the protagonists is obviously not enough. ended.
But this movie has gone out of the cliché again, because although the title is called "Kiss of True Love" (translated pot), the beginning of the movie has been emphasizing that "the kiss of the noble prince" can break the curse, But in fact, in this movie, love is not the main theme, Martin is not a noble prince who has to be him, just a "true love" of Penelope. For the matter of breaking the curse, it doesn't matter whether it is a prince or not, or even whether there is a kiss, what matters is that Penelope recognizes himself. She was instilled by her mother and so many blind daters that her appearance is not acceptable to the world, especially her mother's phrase "although everyone likes you, they just treat her as a talking pig" in the later period. It annoys me, but I have to admit that this is the reality in the eyes of most people, and people always treat people who are different from "most" as human beings.
So what's the way to break the curse? It was her who said "I like myself. I like what I look like." is self-love, not asking for love from others. She doesn't need to live for other people's preferences, she also has the right to choose.
Isn't this a very realistic question? Although the phrase "if you can't look down on yourself, how can you hope others look up on you?" is always talked about, but how many "Penelope" can really do it in real life?
