Being fat is scary, what is scary is the inferiority complex caused by being fat. At first, the heroine was timid, always felt that others could not see her, and always felt that because of this, she would not have love and could not do the job she liked. This kind of cognition is fatal, because when people have a similar cognition, they will pull everything around them to the matter of being fat. In psychology, it is called "self-actualization language", that is, when we think that something is true, such as "I am fat so ugly, others don't like me", we will use examples to prove our perception is right.
This film uses dramatic means to show the changes before and after the heroine changed by "magic", which is very funny and exaggerated. The exaggeration of the film itself has been criticized a lot, but I want to look at it from another angle. In fact, each of us has our own "fat" points, such as our short stature, too tall stature, myopia, poor study, moderate family conditions, poor mathematics, average interpersonal relationships, etc. We are all at certain points. We have low self-esteem, and think that we are really bad, and even think that our life is unsatisfactory because of this bad. For example, we would say "Because I was born in an ordinary family, not a rich second-generation, I can't afford a house in Beijing". "I'm just an ordinary person, and it's impossible for me to be admitted to a xx school." "I look average, and I guess no one likes me." These judgments, although there are correct elements in a certain sense, are not absolute truths. This can be compared to the fact that the heroine is "fat". Due to her growing up, she has been ridiculed by children many times, or she has never passed the physical exam, or other unpleasant experiences, so that we gradually form the thinking of "I am fat so I am not good" and "fatness is the cause of unsatisfactory life". Cognition, and construct a mental defense mechanism, do not want to really face the "fat" self and reject the real self. But under the deception of "magic", she thought she had become super beautiful, so she jumped out of the thinking cage prepared before, jumped out of "I'm not good", thought "I'm super good", and actively embraced her heart, No longer limited by the wall of thinking, she is also more attractive, showing a confident and candid charm that comes from the soul itself. Eventually, when the magic suddenly disappeared, she was devastated. But when she saw the photos of her "magic" period at the press conference, she had an epiphany. It turned out that her appearance had not changed, only her heart had changed! She is still her! She used to think that the cognition of "fat can't work, can't date people" was made up by herself. Until now, she really jumped out of the thinking cage of "I'm fat so I'm not good" and accepted herself calmly. .
