你的樣子如何, 你的日子也必如何? Your face is you fate?



Despite it is not something unprecedented, even old-fashioned, it still makes me feel fresh and passionate, by that newly screened movie. The story is very simple as a fairy tale, it is some kind of the film that you can forecast the ending at the beginning. A fat and nasty looked guy, who chef in a small restaurant, find it is hard to make friend with any girl. Despite he has tried for many times, and he is a really optimistic, enthusiastic and ruthful guy, but all the girls dislike him just due to his ugly face. When he is sombre and wants to give up, he is given a "homesome suit". As the name. meaning, the suit can make the wearer to be the most handsome guy u can ever imagine. The guy's fate is thus change dramatically, he get all the girls' attendtion, haunted by a flock of pretty women. The ending is easy to guess, and i dont want to say anymore, just see it by yourself.
To my recollection, there was a similar movie srceened in Honk Kong years ago, casted by Andy Lau.


With similar story (maybe not that similar), but the endings of those two story are very different. The guy and the girl in "Love on a diet" were both fat and nasty, and faced many hurdles from their society due to their bad-looking. The guy suffered and dedicated to make the girl get enough money to receive surgery to be a pretty girl. After all, the surgery was very sucessful, and the girl was touched by that noble act form the guy, and the ending is:

"You are so slim!?"
Well, what a happy ending, both the guy and the girl now look so fit and beautiful, cheer~
So, what's in the mind of our city's media? Basically it was a good movie, and some of the scenes were very meaningful and touching, the guy's dedication is a really sacrifice to the girl. But ironically, the ending ruins it all. Why the people with those noble traits must have to possess a good looking face to archieve a good ending? It seem the story is just to say that despite you have made a lots of sacrifice, you have to get a charming apperance, get it?
"Handsome suit" obviously drawfed the "Love on a diet". At lease "Handsome suit" has sent you one meaningful message: The most handsome guy is the one who can really love and appreicate himself, and thus he can also love and appreicate the others, as to protect the others. The guy who hates himself and always shames the reality is merely a ugly guy, no matter how handsome is he, that guy can only to be cosmetic, selfish and reclusive. Just one thing: the apperance is not important at all:
Is it just a imaginary? Is that somethings old-fashioned? Yes, definitely. The story overlooks one thing very important in the reality: Come on, not all of the fat guy possesses a ruthful heart, as not all of the cool man shares a bad traits. Anyways, the movie is funny and the message is solemn, I love it.
