REFLECTION (spoilers)
"How pretty I am!" is a problem of appearances. It is competitiveness. It is that need to be envy and adore you. Basically it is, that all women want to be like you.
It's satisfying when we see Renee confident and happy. But... to what extent is the message that the film wants to convey to us healthy? Well, Renee takes an attitude when she looks the most beautiful of all, meeting some beauty requirements. To me, this reflects how toxic the beauty industry is and the damage it can do to those who fall victim to its influence.
We live surrounded by pressures and anxieties generated by a culture that reminds us daily that in order to be "real" women and feel good about ourselves, we must be slim, beautiful, stylish, confident, powerfully sexy... But what about if you don't follow these beauty canons? And if your attitude is not typical of a "goddess"? Would you be less of a woman? Less real?
I don't think this film is about the power of attitude, rather it doesn't stop us from talking about stereotypes and the magnificent and expected applause from the public: How beautiful you are! 👏👏
Jane and Vivian, the protagonist's best friends, are, on the other hand, women who, despite not following beauty standards, are happy with themselves. They embrace their complexes and their beauty just as they are. They accept each other and, above all, they are human and humble. In the last scenes, Renee treats them less in front of some boys and encourages them to pretend, which they decide to be above all themselves. 🤍
