American movie "I Feel Pretty"
Genre: Comedy
Main Cast: Amy Schumer
Story overview: Fat girl Renee's road to regain her confidence
Release Date: April 20, 2018 in the United States
"Chicken soup" films, with tears in laughter, but the plot is too idealized and incompatible with real life.
Looking ahead
①Amy Schumer starring, this is a big coffee in the American comedy world, an alternative "beauty", her works, the laughter is absolutely guaranteed.
②Products produced by Huayi Brothers, the favorability is halved, how much freedom can Hollywood movies with Chinese elements have? How many views can there be? Doubtful.
③The Chinese translation of the title "Super-Sized Beauty", in other words, tells the "fat man's story". This title reminds me of a documentary about "plus-size models" shot in China a few years ago, with a sense of deja vu .
Essays in Views
①Amy's performance is still the same as before, playing everyone is like playing the old self. Looking carefully at Amy's past experience, there are failures and successes, sadness and relief, stumbles, and there are gains and losses along the way. In this film, the fascinated and confident Renee is actually Amy in daily life. Her tenacity, hard work, struggle, her perseverance, effort and belief are vividly displayed.
②Smile away. Compared with Amy's previous works, the laughter of this film is obviously weakened a lot, and it stops at the end (nonsense, spoof jokes are hard to find). Personal speculation, this setting may be an appropriate adjustment to highlight the gold content of the word "confidence". Too much vulgar jokes will reduce the style of the film. As a result, the theme of the work ("Confidence is the most beautiful" ).
③The story is monotonous. Primary three-stage.
In the first paragraph, the fat girl Renee went to the gym in order to lose weight, but she fell while riding a spinning bike, she lost her mind, and found that she had become a "pretty girl", so Renee was no longer willing to work behind the scenes in obscurity. Going to the front of the stage (the front desk of a makeup company), Renee, who is full of confidence, is not only appreciated by the boss, but also loved by love.
The second paragraph, but "unreal" always has a past tense. After the second headbutt, Renee returned to reality, the fat man came back, and "confidence" left Renee in an instant, and the spring dream had woken up.
In the third paragraph, Renee, who has returned to low self-esteem, came to the new product launch conference. With the help of friends and colleagues, he gave an impassioned "confidence speech" (confidence is the most beautiful, this bowl of chicken soup must be swallowed), and the play ended.
After watching
①The story is a bit old-fashioned, the jokes are scarce, the chicken soup is greasy, the characters are boring, and the ending is inexplicable. Other than that, the rest is fine.
②Confidence and beauty
When it comes to self-confidence and beauty, we will think of these golden sentences: "Confident life is the most beautiful!", "Confident women are the most beautiful!", "Confident people are the most beautiful!". All in all, with self-confidence comes the capital of beauty. This sentence is true, but it is not a "wise saying". How to say this?
a. Self-confidence can enhance an individual's inner cultivation, stimulate an individual's inner potential, and transform an individual's behavior. However, confidence cannot change your appearance. In other words, self-confidence can only change the inside, but not the outside.
b, "confidence is the most beautiful", not to say "after self-confidence, people will transform into handsome men and beautiful women", no. Rather, it refers to "the radiance of self-confidence emanating from the inside out", which is a change in "temperament", allowing a person to obtain an "evolution" and "improvement" as a whole.
Therefore, self-confidence ≠ beauty, but "confidence" can stimulate the "beauty" factor in your body to a certain extent.
End of review.
Screenwriter ★☆☆☆☆ (except for the theme of the work, which is worthy of praise, other aspects are subject to discussion)

Visual effects ★☆☆☆☆ (Amy's meat...fat..., greatly reduced interest)
Sound ★★★☆☆ (very general)
Recommendation ★★★☆☆ (between "recommended" and "not recommended", between "good-looking" and "ugly", between "interesting" and "boring")
