The kiss doesn't matter, it's the attitude that matters.

When I first started watching this movie, I was bewitched by the plot, and I always looked forward to a noble boy who loved Penelope to kiss her.

Later, she left the house and entered the dangerous outside world, but everyone did not treat her badly. On the contrary, she met many friends who were very friendly to her. Even after seeing her true face, she still regarded her as a friend. This is compared to the performance of the nobles at the beginning of the plot. They all hated the pig-nosed Penelope and painted her like a ghost... As a result, the director arranged for a child to say "Rich people suck!" at the end of the play. The echoes from before, here are deeply in my heart. Those people can only be called "rich people" and not "rich people", and only morally rich people are qualified to be called "rich people".

Penelope's life outside made her voluntarily give up the chance to kiss the noble boy. She didn't want to change, she felt that this life was very good. The director seems to want to express this meaning. But I personally feel that the performance is not enough... Her life experience outside should not be enough to shake the idea that her mother has instilled in her over the years, that is to remove the pig's nose and become a normal person. This is the only flaw I think of this movie. Of course, I am a very harsh person. In fact, this movie is already very good. If this Penelope's mental activities can be expressed more vividly, I think this movie may be better. perfect. But it's fine now. Everyone knows the gist of this movie. As for whether the process of expressing the address is clearly described, it doesn't matter...

At the end of the play, through the mouth of an innocent child, he said "It's not the power of the curse, it's the power you give the curse." This is the inspiration and philosophy of life this movie gives us. A lot of things are actually not terrible, what is terrible is the attitude towards them. If you look at the curse and don't take it seriously, the curse doesn't become a curse anymore.

Did Johnny like Penelope the first time he spoke to her? Because he is a pretended nobleman, he can't give her a kiss that can change back to an ordinary person, so he chooses to escape. This is obviously an expression of love for her, but why doesn't he say it? ... It's clear that although it may make her sad and can't become a normal person, it's not bad to gain love... I don't understand this, maybe he doesn't know her yet... Just because his escape was almost missed by the two of them , It can be seen that sometimes in love, you still have to have the courage to tell the truth, even if the truth hurts temporarily, it will still be good for both people in the long run. Men have to be courageous! Work hard for love! !

Finally, let me say that Penelope's pig nose is very cute. I think she doesn't look as good as before after she changed back... I faint... I have to be willing to change back... +_+
