psychological bottom line

Penelope is a girl with a pig nose, because of a spell before birth, similar to the fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty" or "The Frog Prince"

, there are not many traces of true love in the film. As for the proposition, I think it is only reflected in the following three aspects

: 1) The origin of true love and the resonance of the soul. It is mainly manifested in the first time Johnny went to Penelope's house, and the book he stole was actually Penelope's favorite book among the more than 2,000 first edition books. And Penelope also guessed that Johnny is best at piano.

2) Penelope is a girl with a pig nose, which symbolizes the little inferiority complex that every woman has in her heart. Johnny was really startled the moment he saw P, but because of the previous understanding, the degree of surprise was not enough to make him escape through the window, which is why he returned to that room again, Although after going in, P said he hoped he would marry her to break the spell, but Johnny said he couldn't.

Love comes from familiarity and understanding, which is the only way for true love.

3) Using the ugly behavior of another rich man to contrast Johnny's kindness is also a way to express Johnny and P's true love from another angle, but Johnny's role in the film is really poor. In such a short period of time, Being crowned with the title of true love is indeed a bit far-fetched

. There is a contrasting concept here. It has a vivid portrayal of the bottom line of people's psychology. I think it is worth thinking about

the rich family's description of Penelope as a monster with fangs and a pig face that can eat people. . So when it was time for the police station portrait, Penelope's portrait was hideous.

In fact, Penelope sold her real photos to the newspaper, and when the man in the newspaper found out that it was not as dangerous as the rich family described, he was already on Penelope's side.


Personally, I think the biggest highlight of this article is Penelope himself, breaking through isolation from the world to getting out of the cage of the spell, bravely facing the real self and the ridicule outside. In the end, I won everyone, and I think it's just one sentence, I like myself the way I am.
