"PENELOPE", the labels in IMDB are comedy, fantasy, romance.
When I saw Christina Ricci appearing with a pig nose, I almost spit out the whole mouthful of yogurt I just ate. Christina Ricci, this girl swept Hollywood with an alternative and sexy image at the age of 29, and now she is running Three, actually wearing a little princess costume, came here in a pure and flawless manner.
The role of PENELOPE can't show Christina Ricci's acting skills at all, and, if I'm being rude to say, her disguise is too LOLI in the play, she's pretty cute when she has a pig nose, after returning to normal, There is absolutely no personality at all.
Just when I was so bored that I was about to yawn, the male protagonist appeared on the screen. Wow..., I was instantly refreshed. Handsome, really handsome! James McAvoy's performance in BECAMING JANE is good, but that film has Anne Hathaway's brilliance in it, and I haven't been amazed by it yet.
For the next hour, it was all James McAvoy's charisma that kept me engrossed in watching the film. Several close-ups of his eyes almost made me feel like a deer with the heroine. To put it vulgarly: what a bohemian and handsome young man.
Alright, alright, let's talk about the plot.
The plot of "PENELOPE" is quite pleasing, it is to re-deconstruct the fairy tale of the little mermaid from the perspective of modern women: I have PIG NOSE, don't you love me? It's okay, I love myself myself! Is it a great aristocracy? The old lady doesn't love blue-blooded nobles, she just loves casino punks!
Because of the family curse, the heroine with a pig nose spent half her life waiting for a person of noble blood to fall in love with her and marry her, so that the curse could be lifted. To this end, her hysterical mother arranged hundreds of blind dates for her, but they were all scared off by her pig nose. You know, men are definitely visual animals, and those who are unpleasant can be pleasing?
The heroine is numb in disappointment and decides to run away from her family and seek freedom. As a result, it turns out that the secret to lifting the curse is to fall in love with yourself. The person who will love you, affirm you, care for you, and never give up on you all your life is you!
The heroine found love, lifted the curse, and had a normal nose and a normal life.
If this passage is put into Sleeping Beauty, why should Sleeping Beauty wait for the prince's kiss, she only needs an alarm clock and a mirror, and kisses herself affectionately in the mirror, saving the pain of sleeping for a hundred years.
When I was in college, I liked to listen to Yu Quan's song "Love Yourself", "Love yourself, I am the most amazing in this world...". However, I have always been an extremely selfish person. I have always felt that self-love is not a bad thing. How can you love others without self-love? But today I was chatting with friends on the Internet, and everyone agreed that if a person loves himself too much, he will be paranoid and resent all the unsatisfactory things in his life. If it is a girl, he will become a terrible woman in legend .
Moreover, the heroine who fell in love with her in "PENELOPE" needs a man's love to save her, otherwise it will be just another eye-catching daffodil.
All in all, girls, if you have a pig nose, remember to love yourself, because don't expect too much from boys' yearning for inner beauty; if you are lucky enough to be normal, then find a man to love you, otherwise No matter how much you love yourself, people (Hollywood movies...) will look at you with sympathy.
