After watching the whole film, it reminded me of one of my favorite words in Duras's lover that impressed me the most late at night: to the
effect that a man said to me when "I" was old:
"I know you, and I will always remember you. At that time , you're still young, everyone says you're beautiful, now, I'm here to tell you, to me, I think you're more beautiful now than when you were young, when you were a young woman, the same as when you were I love your devastated face more than your devastated face."
Yes, I love your devastated face more. This is probably the reason why the foreign name is penelope, but the Chinese translation is the kiss of true love. I always think that true love should be to put aside all appearances. Maybe this is an unrealistic idea, but I believe it.
Of course, the film itself is not so vulgar that the prince kissed the frog princess. The reason why the pig-headed princess will change back is also because of self-confidence and love for herself. A person always has to love himself before he can love others. Piggy did it. She stepped out of her isolation, struggled for independence, began to face herself, dared to change, and dared to explore her own path instead of the path paved by her parents.
I love this story, not only because the prince and princess are happy together, but because of the inspiring meaning of the story itself.
This pig-headed princess named Penelope wishes her to find her own positive life.
