Dina Sinclair - Shallow Hal Question 2



Rosemary begins the film with a self-image that focuses on what she feels is an ugly appearance. It vastly lowers her self-esteem, and makes it difficult for her to form relationships. Since she could not look at herself with respect, it was difficult for others to look at her with respect either. However, as the film progresses, her relationship with Hal allows her to gain self-confidence. She now not only respects herself on the inside as a decent human being, but also realizes that she is pretty in her own right. If I were to give Rosemary advice, I would tell her that everyone sees people differently, and that getting hung up on looks doesn’t do you any good. If someone who was interested in her was interested in her for her appearance alone, they would be shallow and therefore aught to be avoided.
