Such Renee also let me see my inferiority complex. I'm plain, inverted, with a flat nose, ugly when I smile, and I used to be fat. When I was a child, I had no concept of beauty and ugliness, but when I grew up, I found that I had many imperfections. I am very sad because the appearance conditions do not meet the aesthetic standards of the public. I seldom take photos, and I dare not post my photos on social platforms. The Brotherhood has always been a humble existence, and I can only entertain myself. I tried to lose weight, learn makeup, learn how to dress, and also learned many online courses, but I felt that I was always full of shortcomings. Like Renee, I am full of expectations for life, but I dare not take the initiative to fight for it because of my inferiority and concern for other people's opinions. However, is it really because other people's opinions prevent us from living a better life? No, our pain comes from our own imperfection, which breeds a sense of worthlessness. Renee hates her fat figure and thinks the world is unfriendly to her. As the law of attraction says, the more she doesn't want it, the more attractive she will be.
When riding a spinning bike in the gym, Renee fell down too hard and fainted. After waking up, Renee found herself a slim beauty in her dream, and her life has undergone earth-shaking changes. In fact, in the eyes of others, Renee is still the fat girl. But Renee, whose dream came true, stopped obsessing about her shortcomings, her eyes began to flash and she became positive about life. While waiting in line at the laundry, Renee took the initiative to chat with the man behind her, feeling narcissistically that the other person wanted her phone number. Although the man looked embarrassed, Renee didn't care, and finally successfully exchanged numbers and had a first date. When I went to the front desk of the company headquarters for an interview, Renee was told by the interviewer that she didn't meet the requirements as soon as she came up, but she didn't flinch because of others' blows. She sincerely and confidently introduced her love and vision for this job to the interviewer. Renee's sincerity finally moved the interviewer and became the front desk of the company.
There are two scenes in the movie that moved me very much. In the first episode, on Renee's first day at work, visitors were a little surprised to see such a front desk. Our Renee is completely immersed in her passion for work at the moment. She has thoroughly understood the habits of all important people in advance and prepared the most suitable drinks for them. For example, using a straw to provide iced mineral water to a female customer to avoid staining her beautiful lipstick. Renee really likes her job and works hard for it. As she said in the interview, her only purpose is to work here, and then let others get out of the elevator like her and find that this is exactly where they want to come. In the second scene, Renee and Ethan took part in a bikini contest in a bar on impulse on their first date. No swimsuit, no hot body. When others performed, the atmosphere under the stage was warm. When Renee came on stage, the stage was silent. The confident Renee doesn't care about the awkward atmosphere. She just dances and shows herself to the fullest. The atmosphere at the scene was brought to the top by Renee. After the game, the host said to Ethan, "Although the woman who won the first place is his goddess, everyone wants to have a girlfriend like Renee. She is the finale tonight." In these two short films, Renee is still the chubby Renee, but her self-confidence has already surpassed the beauty of supermodel figure. Renee's active efforts and open-mindedness make this confidence even more touching.
Many times, it is not our shortcomings that cause us to feel inferior, but that we are always magnifying these shortcomings and then losing confidence in life. But there are no perfect people in this world. Beautiful female models will also encounter the failure of love. Tears streamed down her face, and the excellent beauty president felt inferior because of the baby voice, leaving the Supreme Court and unable to successfully complete the speech at the new product launch conference. What is terrible in this world is not how many shortcomings there are, but the constant self-denial and internal friction. Only by truly accepting your own shortcomings and changing your negative cognition can you truly face the world calmly. At first, Renee didn't really accept herself. She still hates bad looks and can't really appreciate others. At a friend's blind date, Renee teased her friend, hoping to get the approval of the blind date. As we all know, what she did made her friends very embarrassed, and there was a crack in their friendship. Soon after, Renee fell down again on a business trip and found herself the ugly girl again. She couldn't accept ugliness any more, fled the company and dared not face her boyfriend. Renee complained to her friend, but her friend refused. Fall from heaven to hell overnight.
Renee hoped that the miracle would happen again, went to the gym again and met a beautiful model. This conversation aroused Renee's sense of responsibility for her work. On the day of the press conference, she bravely stepped onto the stage. At this time, she saw the photos of her "beauty-changing period" and suddenly woke up. It turns out that her appearance has never changed. What makes her successful is never her appearance advantage, but her sense of responsibility and positive attitude towards life. Knowing this, Renee frankly expressed her feelings. At the end of the speech, Renee really accepted herself and told the girls present that she wanted to be the most authentic and unique herself.
After watching the movie, I remembered a question that was often asked on weekdays. Why not be confident? At this moment, I found the answer. We are used to correcting our shortcomings, and we will be confident when we feel better. But everyone is born unique, always comparing with others, ignoring their own advantages, and when they really accept themselves and think I am good and great, the flower of self-confidence will bloom freely. Our life is always better because of self-confidence.
The success of this film not only shows what real self-confidence is, but also conveys a great value: we can envy others, but we should also see ourselves while watching others. The bright spot of others is not to tell you how bad it is, but to remind you that everyone has a bright spot. As the title, it feels pretty good.
