Movie - "I Feel Pretty"

Hello Friends,

“I Feel Pretty” starring Amy Schumer is an imperfect movie and has been subject to various negative commentaries. I found the movie has some fresh and unexpected moments.

The movie is about;

In I FEEL PRETTY a woman who struggles with feelings of deep insecurity and low self-esteem, that hold her back everyday, wakes from a brutal fall in an exercise class believing she is suddenly a supermodel. With this newfound confidence she is empowered to live her life fearlessly and flawlessly, but what will happen when she realizes her appearance never changed?

“I Feel Pretty” has gone through a laser-like analysis online of fat-shaming and skinny-shaming, and different forms of rage and upset.

The movie was entertainment to me. I left the cinema pondering Amy Shumer’s portrayal of a woman who’d settled on a mediocre life, and not what she wanted which left her feeling depressed in her basement office. Her lack of confidence stopped her from reaching for her dreams.

After a knock on the head, her outlook on life, work and love changed completely. Nothing was impossible when her perception of herself changed from negative to positive. All of a sudden her dreams were within reach, and she turned them into a reality in her everyday life.

After another knock on the head, the self-illusions changed back to her old negative beliefs but not wholly. 

Here's the trailer...

How would the world be if women had confidence and high self-esteem? If they didn’t think their bodies were too fat or too skinny, but just right? Beautiful came from feeling beautiful about themselves. 

Enjoy your weekend,
