Hot take: I know a lot of people think Shallow Hal is problematic (body shaming, fat suit, etc) but we clearly know that’s not the point of the movie. The moral of the story is that it’s the inside that counts. Someone’s heart and personality is more important than their body. When you fall in love with someone for who they are, you don’t see the “flaws” that shallow people see and you love every part of them. That’s what this movie was trying to teach and putting Gwenyth Paltrow in a fat suit and showing people making fun of different bodies was the way they had to teach that.

Now, I got to thinking: how would Hal see me while he’s hypnotized? Like we all have flaws and I’m not trying to self sabotage or whatever but it’s just something interesting. Would I be thinner? Taller? No acne? I’d probably look like Gwenyth Paltrow I guess lol

The other thing is, how did he not know how big she was when hugging her or when they made love? Does the hypnosis also make her feel thinner to him? I just wanna know the science behind this lol did the writers just not think about that? How did his arms not be around an “invisible” space? Idk I feel like that would add some extra detail to the movie. It doesn’t matter, but I have so many thoughts about this movie that I’ve never talked about because of the controversy.

There are also HOT deleted scenes that should have been in the movie.

The Cadence scene was sad. I am SHOOK every time I see it. Like he even saw her without physical flaws and when he realizes she’s a burn victim AGH it just 😭 also interesting because I thought he only saw women as flawless so when we realize he also sees the girls as flawless I was like oh? So it’s not an attraction thing it’s just flawless in general? Is it only females or all people? SO many questions about this silly little movie WOW I’m autistic if you hadn’t noticed anyway

[newsfromstolenland]

Ivy Snitzer is sharing how appearing in “Shallow Hal” led to some dark days for her.

In an interview with The Guardian, Snitzer talked about having been a 20-year-old aspiring actress when she worked as the body double for Gwyneth Paltrow in the 2001 film in which Paltrow portrayed an obese woman.

While Snitzer said the cast and crew “treated me like I really mattered, like they couldn’t make the movie without me” and she was made to “feel really comfortable,” she said “it didn’t occur to me that the film would be seen by millions of people.”

[...]

What followed was people accusing her of promoting obesity and approaching her on the street, she said.

whenever someone claims that media doesn't actually have a strong effect on us and our perception of bodies I remember seeing the movie "Shallow Hal" as a kid and how it hammered the idea into my brain that someone overweight is the direct opposite of beautiful

#luckily the whole movie was disturbing enough (or I enough of a critical thinker? i doubt it) that my actual takeaway was being disgusted #by fatphobia instead #but that fucking movie still sticks in my brain and I still shudder thinking about it #shallow hal #tw fatphobia #to be clear I think at first I completely accepted the premise and felt like I 'learned' that the female protagonist was apparently hideous

📽️ Shallow Hal (2001)

This movie is somewhat polarizing. I’ve seen some reviews that think it is guilty of the exact thing it preaches against and some that applaud it for championing inner beauty. I tend to lean toward the second group. I can understand how some people may see it as making fun of overweight people, and I also acknowledge that they could have gone about it a better way, but at the end of the day the point of the movie is that inner beauty is more important than looks. I feel that they accomplished portraying that point.

Sex/nudity: 3/10 (sexual comments and references, implied sex, one scene with mild nudity)

Language: 4/10 (one f-word, some sh*t, lots of slang for sex and genitalia)

Violence: 0/10

Overall rating: 7/10

Did they make mark say all that crap? Really?

Mom says

“You know what to do exactly. I’ve included a princess P kick her ass button.”

“I is loves when mom is packs my lunch.”

“You will be okay anyway. More than okay.”

“No I fucking won’t.” No I won’t.

And when those boys tease you and say he never loved you?

Consider their foolish sources

John’s sisters were absolutely repulsed by him and that’s enough to make me laugh.

You can’t help it if your sisters call it like they see it is that how you call it no you have your provincial 97 I have mine I suppose we have 97 Hasina you pay the money but on the other hand I am character so fuck you

“She’s too mature for you.”

Someone said that, though not nicks and little boys his age.

Little joys. Got no time, boy babes. Sorry.

Been there, done that.

Look I didn’t try to go attacking you saying that you wanted to fuck half of your sisters OK so I appreciate if you gave me the tip on Nick and it’s embarrassing that I didn’t realize that he and Brandy were enjoying like shaggy in each other but you’re still nastier than he is and I don’t like you or respect you so I don’t want you like to hack my logs I don’t want you to be around me I don’t like I don’t like you like you you Tate my my bare breast when I was a little girl
