09th June 2008
Have you seen the movie Shallow Hal? It was a movie played by Gwyneth Paltrow and Jack Black. Jack Black was a nice guy who was looking for attractive girls on the surface, just as he promised his father he would. His definition of quality woman is perfect eyes, nice lips, and sexy slim figures. With a spell that he unconsciously got from a guy at the elevator, Jack Black literally sees ugly women from their inner beauty instead of how they actually look. Meaning, these ugly women looked beautiful in the eyes of Jack Black. He sees her girlfriend, Gwyneth Paltrow, as the sexiest woman, when in fact she is actually struggling for being extremely big. More things happen on the movie that changes each characters view of beauty. Jack Black started to realize that what he is seeing from his girlfriend is her actual inner characteristics and not her real outer figure. Gwyneth Paltrow has developed confidence on how she looks. Her parents learned to appreciate her and be proud of who their daughter is. Generally, the movie showed the society’s notion of beauty, presented in a comical landscape. It revealed that beauty is more than what is seen in the naked eye. It is about the inner beauty and confidence that matters.
From the movie, it is clear women with
plus sizes is beautiful in their own way. Most of the time, wearing
women plus sizes is just a confidence issue. What matters is the beauty that is carried from within and the confidence that’s being projected by the person. It’s also about the inner character that matters. And by the way, big girls need not worry about how they look because there are many clothing lines in plus sizes that can fit them well and can make them look attractive as they are. All they have to do is wear the right attitude, confidence and the right clothes to feel and look beautiful.
