If you are caught in a dilemma, should beauty still come before talent?

In order to preview the drama "The Long Confession", I watched the movie and the script "Cyrano" over and over again. How should I put it, in the end I found that I still couldn't choose between appearance and talent. Roxana is really a lucky woman who is truly loved by Cyrano and Christian. If at the beginning, when Cyrano was determined to make Christian the perfect love host in her heart, he still retained the selfishness of wanting his poetic talent to have a good-looking skin, then he would send the two to kiss from the end of the month. From the beginning of marriage, he may have been completely fulfilled. Such a humble and arrogant person always makes people feel sorry for him when he sees him. And Christian, a sloppy bastard who occupies other people's talents, would be despised by reason, but he is more than just a bum. The movie added a "hero to save the beauty" highlight for him. When she was kidnapped, the audience could not see a trace of hesitation and cowardice in him. Resolutely drawing a knife to save her was enough to prove that he was not. Only covet her physical beauty, but have [love] for her. Moreover, he did not fully (of course, with peace of mind) occupied Cyrano's talents, and when he learned that Roxana had changed from loving him to deeply loving the soul who wrote the letter, he also decisively and frankly told Xiran. Hano. Such a scumbag, but revealing a gentleman's temperament in the details, really can't make people hate him as a villain. And Roxana, as the heroine, looks a little too [hypocritical] in this day and age. Bai Yueguang's face is easy to make people fall in love at first sight, and he is willing to give his sincerity to the people around him. For love, he can break into the battlefield regardless of the danger, but he likes the sincerity wrapped in sweet words very much. Even the unpretentious [I Love You] would make her resentful. The one who could pry open her heart at first must be a man with "gorgeous" appearance and talent. This forced the two men to join forces to create a perfect host for this "little princess". You see, the favored are indeed fearless. To say the saddest part of the movie, it may be that even the protagonist knows well that beauty still comes before talent. Cyrano has absolute confidence in the verse he wrote, but when he expresses his meaning with his expression, he also feels that only a good-looking skin can match such a wonderful talent. Appearance makes him a coward emotionally, and even to death, he is denying it over and over again: "It's not me who wrote the letter... It's not me who loves you, not me [sad]" So don't be a talented person easily , especially the poet, is too bitter. (ps: I didn’t feel very sad when I watched the movie. The dialogue at the end of Cyrano’s death dragged on for too long, and the emotion was exhausted. Re-watch it.
