To lift the spell? enough for yourself

Although the film is translated as "Kiss of True Love", I still feel that the English name may be more appropriate to Penelope. The biggest protagonist of the film itself is the heroine. Throughout the film process, it is more about portraying how Penelope learned from her mother to deny her now. "This is what my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather looks like, not mine." Of course, the appearance of fake Max was undoubtedly a turning point in her life. She met a good love, so she chose to get out of the cage instead of falling. Although most of the public opinion regarded her as a joke or a selling point, she still made friends. But she was still a little confused, so she chose to marry someone she didn't love under the persuasion of her mother.
But facing the priest, She still understands that she is herself. She dares to face up to her own shortcomings and the fact that she is ugly. She may be skeptical about the spell. What if the spell is lifted by marrying the person she doesn't love? If you don't appreciate yourself, is beauty and ugliness so important? If you marry someone you don't love and in fact still have a pig nose, then you will be waiting for more misfortune.
It is true that you want to become There is nothing wrong with being more beautiful, but to go to the extreme because of this is actually just an expression of not loving yourself. We may all have moments when we are Penelope, doubt ourselves, deny ourselves, imprison ourselves passively or actively, and put everything to ourselves. The love and being loved that cannot be attributed to their appearance. But the body is one's own, and the soul hates its own body, so who else will love itself? Being willing to face her own psychology is the real spell.
When the spell was lifted, Penelope fell into a little disappointment after being surprised for a while. Because she still likes herself with a pig nose. In my opinion, with She is also much cuter with a pig nose. People who really love her don't care whether she is a pig nose or not and give her a kiss affectionately.
Our love or not love has nothing to do with beauty or ugliness. Those dislikes are just that It is an excuse for people not to love anymore. But we should remember at all times that we still have ourselves. To break the dream or find true love, it is enough to be ourselves.
