"Giada, the inner beauty thing is just nonsense"

[Estro Felino]

This title is between brackets because it is a quotation from an Italian movie Come tu mi vuoi (transl. As you want me to look like).
It tells the story of a college girl named Giada who falls in love with a college young man. She does't care much about her looks, and she defends the importance of inner beauty.
This guys seems to like her, but then she finds out that he's ashamed of going out with her, because he doesn't want to be ridiculed by his friends (who think that Giada is really ugly and uncool) .
Then she decides to change her looks after her roommate tells her: Ah, Giada, the inner beauty story is pure bull...it. Only beautiful people can like each other. It's natural selection.

and in fact she changes her looks totally. This movie suggests us that inner beauty unfortunately is not sufficient in the world we live in

I won't say what I think about it because as soon as I speak my mind, people here attack me and sometimes insult me

Inner beauty certainly has value. But so does outer beauty. It pays to value both, but don't obsess over either.

Ever heard of the term "moped"?
They're fun to ride, but you wouldn't want your friends to see you on one.

Will we see fireworks in this thread?

My thoughts are that it's braindead trash. I don't think giving young girls the impression that they should strive to be petty, shallow, hollow mannequins is good for their mental and emotional health and development. I prefer real people with depth, substance, personality, and character. Not mindless, soulless clones.

Some people are able to see more beauty in other people than just the beauty of their physical appearance. In fact, some folks even see a lot of different kinds of beauty in people -- say, the beauty of their values, their intelligence, their generosity, their spontaneity, their authenticity, and so forth. Other people are blind to those kinds of beauty. As for myself, I don't think being blind to any kind of beauty is necessarily a sign of wisdom or insight.

It's always fascinating to learn that yet another human once again thinks his own personal tastes are universal laws of nature. Perhaps the only thing more fascinating is to watch wall paint dry.

Except that one is vastly more important and meaningful than the other.
Don't try to salvage turds.

Yeah, I've heard the term, but not outside of highschool.

Since when does ignorance and stupidy ever slide around here?

You mean the director of the movie, I hope.

One word. Adolescent.

You're lucky. I never heard it until I was past the point where I'd have actually used in any sense other than referring to it. It seems a useful (although not constructive) addition to his vocabulary.

I just want to say... anyone who feels ashamed of going out with their partner for fear of being ridiculed by "friends" due to his or her partner's looks deserves to be friends with those kinds of human trash.

There are people who are claimed to need surgery to be more "beautiful," and then there are those who apparently need brain surgery to start thinking at a level more advanced than a two-year-old.

I just want to underline that, on the basis of the Youtube comments, the great majority of the people who watched the movie absolutely agree with the message that the director wanted to communicate. and enjoyed the film-
very few people were against.

I am just giving some information about the criticism on the film

In other words, the majority of people commenting on the video are misogynistic, shallow pieces of trash? Is that supposed to be impressive?

"Which one" what?

It's fatalistic in determining the evo-psych point of view that men are "visual" creatures and prefer biological signals of female fertility.

I'm not a biological determinist much. Rather, culture determines much of what is considered physical beauty standards. I have my own pet theory that they stem typically out of a mix of cultural taboo avoidance and what resources are considered scarce and precious that are either adorned or ingested into the body.

Facinating, but you had already made us aware of what a sad, pitiful, silly little culture you have, so it's rather redundant. Besides, what should any of it mean to the rest of us, other than a laugh?

WAIT you don't think Youtube comments are the epitome of culture to be admired and broadcast widely?

This is so ridiculous.

Hay, you're being so passive aggressive with your "people disagree with me" complaint. Yes. We do. Stop playing the martyr about it and learn something.
