Which do you think is more important, inner beauty or outer beauty? Will we lose the beauty we once had while pursuing our appearance?

The film "Super Size Beauty" tells such a story. The heroine Renee has always been troubled by her appearance. After an accident, she began to believe that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. She regains her confidence and begins to fulfill her life, but what happens if she finds that her appearance has not changed?

From the first act, Renee felt inferior and embarrassed because of her obesity. She was laughed at by everyone in the fitness bike room, and she was unsatisfactory in dressing up in magazines and videos at home. She was told that she did not have her code number when buying clothes. Crying child... In just a few minutes, Renee's dilemma in life is vividly described, and she has realized that she needs to make a change.

Ashamed Renee

Immediately after the film further portrays Renee's plight, Renee works in the network department of Lily Leclerc Cosmetics Company, and she is very tired of the work environment and dull work in the basement of Chinatown. Here we can see that Rui Ni is very dissatisfied with her current situation. Many people will say it when they see it. If you are not satisfied, you can change it. But we ignore that people are often very fragile. When we are disappointed with ourselves and life, we will give up on ourselves and give up all aspects of ourselves, and we will not want to make changes in our actions at all. Therefore, Renee at this stage is rather sloppy and sloppy to live by.

At an opportunity, the server in the office broke down, and Renee had to go to the headquarters to deliver the report. Here, she saw her dream. She wanted to be the receptionist in this place full of beautiful women, but she gave up because of her appearance. The idea of ​​applying for a job, appearance has now become a direct factor that can change her situation.

So everything she did after watching a movie and wishing to be beautiful, and then believing she was beautiful after a fall in the bike room, all became logical. This accident made her mistakenly think that she had become beautiful, and thus gained self-confidence, and her life has ushered in a turning point since then.

At the beginning of the second act, she confidently walked into the head office to submit her resume, showed her "beauty" in front of her friends, and even mistakenly thought that Ethan, who was at the back of the line at the dry cleaner, wanted to strike up a conversation with her, and half forcibly approached her. Exchange phone numbers. Although Renee is still the same at this time, she no longer has low self-esteem, but is active and enthusiastic, and she lives and treats others actively and energetically. During the interview at the head office, the passion she showed and her love and desire for the position impressed President Avery, and she successfully became the new front desk of the head office.

Confident Renee

Everything is going in a good direction, so she is also convinced that these are all because of her "beautiful" appearance. At work, she is attentive, proactive and enthusiastic. With her daily accumulation, she was invited by Avery to Boston to create the image of the sub-line products. In terms of love, she took the initiative to attack. After several dates, Ethan began to be attracted by her. Attracted by his confident humor.

It is worth noting here that the mutual appreciation and acceptance of Ethan and Renee is the key to their ability to establish a relationship. Ethan appreciates Renee's confident humor, liveliness and cuteness, and Renee can also accept Ethan's passivity and restraint.

Ethan and Renee

Renee, who has a double harvest in career and love, is over-inflated, from self-confidence to self-confidence. She enjoys everything that "beautiful appearance" brings to her, and becomes airy. She began to brag about her "beauty" and wanted to praise her friend's "sexy body" to gain the love of her date... She used to be discriminated against because of her appearance, and she began to judge people by appearance. When she blindly pursues the so-called appearance, her lovely and considerate soul is lost in vanity.

Renee's friend

But we know that this illusory illusion will always be punctured one day. When Renee was actively preparing a product presentation in Boston, she briefly fell into a coma after hitting the glass door in the bathroom, and she became the fat and ugly one again. How will she face the next product launch? How will I face my boyfriend Ethan? Let me sell it here, and friends who are interested can find the answer by themselves.

The English name of this film is "I Feel Pretty", which actually expresses the core idea of ​​the film more directly. You are the most beautiful when you are confident. Learn to accept yourself. Your attitude towards yourself determines your attitude towards life. Don't lose your true self by pursuing appearance!

If you are full of doubts and disappointments about yourself, maybe you can learn something from this film.

Welcome friends who are familiar with beauty makeup to correct me

  • Renee Bennett: You could see me that whole time?

    Ethan: Renee, I've always seen you.

  • Renee Bennett: I thought that was going to bust easier. Umm... Hello. My name is Renee. And, uh, some of you know me as this woman. Glamourous. Flawless. Perfection. But that's not the real me. This is the real me. I know. These women look nothing alike. But they're both me. Take a second to process it. But in this industry I only felt wanted when I looked like this. Now when I looked...

    Renee Bennett: Wha... There's no magic. That's me. That's me, they're both me. That's me. I did all this as me.

    Renee Bennett: When we're little girls... we have all the confidence in the world. We-we let our bellies hang out. And... and we just dance and play and pick our wedgies. And then these things happen that just, they just make us question ourselves. Somebody says something mean to you on the playground and then we grow up. And you doubt yourself over and over again until you lose all that confidence. All that self-esteem, all the faith you started with is gone. But what if we didn't let those moments get to us? What if we were stronger than that? Right? What if we didn't care about how we looked? Or how we sounded? What if we never lost that little-girl confidence? What if when someone tells us that we aren't good or thin or pretty enough we have the strength and the wisdom... to say what I am is better than all that. Because what I am is me! I'm me! And I'm proud to be me! And if you ever get the chance to hang out with me or my friends. My amazing, perfect friends. Well, all I have to say to you is you're welcome.

    Renee Bennett: Mason, hit it. We are real women. We are. What a great thing to be. A real, healthy, just strong, funny kickass chick! This new line of products won't change your life. Only you can do that. And you can do that. Believe me. But this line is for every girl who is ready to believe in herself! You are beautiful! You are everything! And you are the real face of this line! And we are all the face of Lily LeClaire!
