The most
impressive movie I have seen is ‘200 pounds beauty (Hard to be a beauty).’ I
saw it about 7 years ago. It has been so many years since I saw this movie, but
it made me think a lot. In ‘200 pounds beauty’, the main character was a closet singer who sings behind the stage.
She was very ugly and fat so she could not show herself to anyone else. Later
after she was compared her appearance with the other singer, she decided to
have a plastic surgery. The surgery was successful and she became very pretty.
No one recognized her and a new life started from then. Not only could she sing
on the stage but also the reaction of people was different from her past days.
She did not have to hide behind the stage anymore and she became a famous star
in a short period of time. Although she had the same ability of singing before
and after the surgery, her situation was completely changed just because of her
appearance.
This movie is
satirizing lookism discrimination. In our society many people judge others by
their appearance on these days. As anonymity increases we don’t have so much attention to each other.
Also we don’t have long enough time to know about each
other because we move often and a lot for better jobs and environment. These
conditions lead us to judge others quickly by the way they look. However I
think we must overcome this circumstance. We should not discriminate against
anyone based on looks. Everyone has their own characteristics and we have to
respect each of them. I hope a world that all the people who are capable make
their dreams come true with no regard to their appearance!
