Shallow Hal Post 1 Elliot Schwarz
I think Hal made a huge transformation from 


someone who cared only about looks to someone who sees the inner beauty of someone. At the beginning of the film Hal on the advice of his father constantly tries to date women, who look great, but they are interested. Hal to me seems like a person who’s trying to find a soul mate, but his conception of the perfect women is not what he should be looking for. After he is hypnotized by Tony Robbins he sees true beauty in women he would probably never date.  He then meets Rosemary who appears to be in fit condition in his eyes, but is in reality overweight. The two start going out together and Hal more and more starts appreciating who she is as a person. Hal starts to value that Rosemary is as a person rather than how she looks. Even when he lost the ability he understands that looks do not mean everything in the world. I think Hal made the right decision going on the Peace Corps since it shows that he really cares about her.
