good creative idea

After watching this movie, I gave it four stars. It's not that it has an excellent plot setting, nor that it has any deep inner characterization, but that the director has seen a very humanized social problem, that is, when our global economic development tends to be synchronized and the economic model tends to be In the era of homogeneity, we have or will accept the process of brainwashing with Western civilization as the mainstream, and our brains will also have a tendency to homogenize. In this process of integration, all led by economic development, it seems that the world has not become more and more beautiful as we hoped.
The creative intent of this film, which I commend, is trying to tell us that there are still misunderstandings in our aesthetics. Such misunderstandings make us seem to be blinded, unable to see people and things that are originally beautiful.

Shallow Hal quotes

  • [after Mauricio broke Hal's spell]

    Hal: Let me ask you something. Who is the all-time love of your life?

    Mauricio: [ponders] Wonder Woman.

    Hal: Okay... let's say Wonder Woman falls in love with you. And everyone else in the world didn't find her attractive.

    Mauricio: It wouldn't matter. Because I know they'd be wrong.

    Hal: See! That's what I had with Rosemary! I saw a knockout, I don't care what anybody else saw!

    Mauricio: You're right. I guess I really did screw you, huh?

  • Mauricio: Shallow Hal wants a gal.
