情人眼里出西施

不知道有没有在看到这些拥有inner beauty在世人眼里的“真实”样子后，感到失望。

在我给“真实”打上引号的时候，我突然觉得这片子成功了，它让我们提到一个人外在的样子的时候，加上了双引号。

但是即使我们知道了外在并不是全部，我们不应该那么shallow,仅仅用外表来评判一个人，我们在真实的生活真的会这么做吗？

为什么随着自己的成长，在小时候觉得不重要的外表，变得越来越重要了呢？

尤其在男生在评判女生的时候。

在影片中，其实到处都是对不漂亮女生的一些偏见，他们会认为一个美女很善良是因为她曾经是一个丑女，只是自己还没有意识到自己会变成天鹅，所以才会保持着这么好的态度。

而且Ｈａｌ真的是因为她的内在美才接近她吗？

还不是因为在这种催眠状态里她很美，才会接近她。

　说道底，还不是内在美，而是外在美……

感觉这片中女主肥胖的造型影响到后来很多电影，包括《瘦身男女》。

而电影关于外貌与内在、肤浅与内涵的创意也影响了后来者，如《丑女大翻身》、港剧《情人眼里高一D》（当然它当是受日剧《变身西装》启发，而《变》又或受《庸人》启发）。

以反差喜剧而言，这样的设定是OK，就像烂俗的男女变身一样，反差越大笑点越容易做。

不过本片笑点不多，能让人大笑的也就三五处，女主跳水那段笑死了，简直是无厘头神上身，结尾和女庸人的亲热，女主反抱男主都是亮点。

女主的名字Rosemary让我想到何韵诗那首《露丝玛莉》。

——哈尔，我对你没兴趣。

——那又怎样？

约会的人都互相吸引吗？

——至少开始时是如此。

——得了，那只是新世代屁话。

有些人一开始虽然有些火花，但多数人是后来才彼此吸引。

哈尔，就算以后不连络，今天还是很谢谢你。

——怎么欣赏陌生女子内在美？

——有心去找，不难见到的。

——可是后来怎么还是感觉不到……——所谓脑中所见乃心中之感受。

——不，我让萝丝玛丽现出原形。

其中有段落差，叫做"事实"。

——如果看得到、听得到、闻得到，跟事实又有何差异？

——第三者的观感，别人也同意才是事实。

——好吧，回答我，谁是你此生的最爱？

——神奇女郎。

——假设神奇女郎爱上你，别人不觉得她美，有差吗？

——没有，因为别人错了。

——这就是我跟萝丝玛丽的状况！

心中有美女，我管别人怎么想。

我没这样想过。

你知道吗？

每个男人一生中有几次机会，了不起二、三次面临真正的抉择。

走这边，他可以继续跟女人混。

走那边，他就得忠于一个女人，或许就这么从一而终了。

走第二条路好像损失不小，但，事实是报酬更多，更幸福。

看完之后面对这一千多条短评及几条长评不知道该说什么，只能说这部电影的价值观放到现在已经相当陈旧。

以下是Megan Garber于2021年11月9日在《The Atlantic（大西洋月刊）》上发表的有关《庸人哈尔》的最新评价，我觉得写得蛮好，所以全文搬运以作留档。

先介绍一下Megan Garber这个人，以下文段是大西洋月刊对其的介绍文案：“She is the recipient of a Mirror Award for her writing about the media, and she previously worked as a reporter for the Nieman Journalism Lab and as a critic for the Columbia Journalism Review. At The Atlantic, she writes about the intersection of politics and culture (which often, but not always, means that she writes about reality TV)”

《大西洋月刊》特约撰稿人Megan Garber以下是正文：

In 2001, doing press for Shallow Hal, Gwyneth Paltrow spent a lot of time talking about the fat suit she wore to play Rosemary, the film’s romantic lead. She spoke in particular about an experiment that she and the film’s makeup-effects designer had undertaken to test the suit’s credibility out in the world. At a fancy hotel in New York, Paltrow donned the fake weight. She walked through the lobby. She walked to the bar. She noticed how people looked at her, and how they refused to. “It was so sad,” she told one reporter. “I didn’t expect it to feel so upsetting,” she told another. “I thought the whole thing would be funny, and then as soon as I put it on, I thought, well, you know, this isn’t all funny.” Paltrow’s assessment of this experience—apparently funny, not all funny—doubles as a pretty decent review of the film she was trying to promote. Shallow Hal is a fat joke with a 114-minute run time. From the moment it premiered, in early November of 2001, it was poorly aged. It’s tempting, 20 years later, to look back on Shallow Hal and feel we have cause for congratulation: The movie is bad, and we know it’s bad, so progress must have been made. (Paltrow herself, expressing regret last year about her part in the film，call it a “disaster.”) But Shallow Hal has not been relegated to the annals of cinematic shame. On the contrary, it has retained a revealing currency. It has expanded its reach through streaming services, where it is popular and even beloved. And it speaks to a culture that still interprets fatness as a condition that deserves whatever mockery it might get. Shallow Hal could never decide whether Rosemary was a human or a humiliation. Its confusion remains all too timely. The story goes like this. Hal Larson (played by Jack Black) is a generally sweet guy with an overarching flaw: He judges women by their appearance, refusing to pursue romantic relationships with women who don’t look like models. One day, through the combined forces of magical realism and the self-help seller Tony Robbins, Hal gets an attitude adjustment. Robbins hypnotizes Hal, ensuring that he will see people’s inner beauty reflected on the outside. Then he meets Rosemary Shanahan (Paltrow), who is smart and funny and fun and kind, and who weighs about 300 pounds. Rosemary looks like Gwyneth Paltrow in a fat suit. Filtered through Hal’s new gaze, though, she looks like Gwyneth Paltrow. That interplay of vision and reality—the cosmic wrongness of Hal’s perception—is the film’s defining joke. “The biggest love story ever told,” its promotional poster promises with a wink. Does the spell eventually break? Does Hal finally see Rosemary as she is? Does this celebration of Rosemary’s personality offer a torrent of jokes about Rosemary’s body? Yes. Over the course of the movie, Rosemary breaks not one but two seats: a flimsy chair at a burger joint and a booth at a fancier restaurant. When she and Hal go canoeing, Hal’s side of the boat tips into the air, like a seesaw trapped in the upswing. And when she and Hal go swimming, Rosemary, diving in, creates a wave so powerful that it deposits a kid into a tree. “Sorry,” she says, somehow both defined by her size and oblivious to it. Shallow Hal was directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly, who had previously brought to the world Dumb and Dumber, There’s Something About Mary, and other films known for their giddy unions of humor and heart. In promoting the film, the Farrellys tried to argue that Shallow Hal was similarly nuanced. The people who were offended by the movie, they insisted, had missed the point; the film was challenging callous stereotypes, not endorsing them. It was exploring the meaning of a big body in a world that makes space only for small ones. That it treated Rosemary’s weight as setup and punch line at once was apparently just part of the satire. “This movie’s heart is in the right place,” Peter Farrelly insisted when Shallow Hal premiered. The film’s makeup-effects designer, Tony Gardner—the orchestrator of Paltrow’s fat suit—echoed this claim. The Farrellys, he said, “are not making fun of [Rosemary’s] weight, they are embracing her weight. Peter calls it a valentine for overweight people.” If so, the film is a dubious gift. And its grim condescensions remain familiar. Rosemary’s primary function in Shallow Hal, beyond absorbing the movie’s mockeries of her, is to facilitate Hal’s self-improvement. Both roles are demeaning. But the film suggests that she should be happy for whatever she can get. “Personally, I don’t feel any gratitude for a movie that profits at my expense,” the fat activist Marilyn Wann told the Chicago Tribune shortly after Shallow Hal premiered. The singer Carnie Wilson, whose weight had been tabloid fodder for years, called the movie “hurtful in my heart.” “Rosemary breaking things” is not the only strain of humor in this film. Shallow Hal also has great fun with the notion of “Rosemary eating things.” Early on, she explains to Hal that she long ago realized she’d be the same size whatever she ate. It is the most empathetic line in the film. (In the world beyond the movie, studies show that some 95 to 98 percent of attempts to lose weight fail.) But the brief moment of grace is overshadowed by the film’s more deeply held conviction: that a fat woman caught in the act of eating is comedy gold. We see, for example, Rosemary and Hal sharing a large chocolate milkshake; when he turns away for a few seconds, she speed-drinks the entire thing. Later, she asks Hal’s co-workers for a piece of the cake they’re carrying—and then helps herself to an extremely large slice. Cut to Rosemary walking away, clutching the cake in both hands as she munches.No real person would do that. But Shallow Hal, for all its lofty claims of charitable humanism, is not interested in what real life would be like for Rosemary. It is interested merely in mining her body for LOLs. After a while, even its lazy jokes make an accidental argument: They suggest that Rosemary’s body is a problem, not just for her, but for others. Over and over again, her weight—the food she eats, the space she occupies—takes something away from other people, whether it’s a milkshake meant for two or a cake meant for 20 or a pool meant for all. Shallow Hal is bad because it treats Rosemary’s body as comedy. But it is insidious because it treats her body as tragedy.And the movie casts a long shadow. Many Americans still see other people’s weight in precisely the same way that Shallow Hal does: as a problem that affects everyone (“the obesity epidemic,” “the war on obesity,” etc.), and is therefore the business of anyone. A New York Times column published earlier this year reported that some people had put on pounds as they navigated the traumas of a global pandemic. Noting the correlation between weight and COVID mortality, the piece chided these people for their negligence. Its author went on to explain her superior practice of self-control: “My consumption of snacks and ice cream is portion-controlled, and, along with daily exercise, has enabled me to remain weight-stable despite yearlong pandemic stress and occasional despair.”The brand of thinking underlying such smugness—that fat people are merely thin people who aren’t trying hard enough—is mythology that easily expands into bigotry. One of the grimmest elements of Shallow Hal is that, underneath it all, it understands Rosemary’s weight to be more than a matter of will. But it mocks her anyway.The years since Shallow Hal premiered have seen several paradoxes at play in American culture. Scientists have been learning more about the genetic factors that contribute to body weight, and about the metabolic adaptations that make weight loss, if achieved at all, extremely difficult to sustain. Over the same period, bias against fat people has grown. (A Harvard study of some 4 million implicit-bias tests taken between 2007 and 2016 noted a drop in several biases measured, including those related to race and sexual orientation. Bias based on body weight was the only one that increased.) As the lexicon of body positivity has made its tentative forays into American mass culture, that culture as a whole also continues to conflate thinness with wellness, wellness with health, and health with moral superiority.In one of the decidedly unpoetic ironies of this moment, the woman who described the “sad” minutes she spent navigating the world in a fat suit is helping to enforce those equations. But Paltrow’s is only one voice in a chorus that treats big bodies as deviant bodies: Adele, having lost weight, is portrayed as triumphant; Lizzo, having not, is portrayed as “brave”; Donald Trump is criticized not only on the grounds of his harms, but also on the grounds of his heaviness. The ABC sitcom American Housewife, which ran for several seasons starting in 2016, dedicated its pilot episode to its main character’s realization that, after a woman she calls “Fat Pam” moves away, she will be the “second-fattest” woman in town.Hollywood has given us many other characters who are thus flattened, among them Fat Amy and Fat Betty and Fat Thor and Fat Monica and Fat Schmidt. It has served up cruelties in the name of comedy. The actor and comedian Olivia Munn, “joking” in her memoir: “I will fix America’s obesity problems by taking all motorized transport away from fat people. In turn, I will build an infrastructure of Fat Tunnels, where all the fat people can walk. This will create jobs and subsequent weight loss.” The comedian Nicole Arbour, in a viral video: “Fat-people parking spots should be at the back of the mall parking lot. Walk to the doors and burn some calories.” The TV host Bill Maher, on his show: “Fat-shaming doesn’t need to end; it needs to make a comeback. Some amount of shame is good.”What’s notable about the “jokes,” beyond the fact that they barely qualify as jokes at all, is that they are framed as expressions of concern. They embrace Shallow Hal’s wayward logic: that making fun of fat people is a way to help fat people. The creator of Insatiable, the revenge fantasy of a fat-turned-thin teenager that streamed on Netflix starting in 2018, tried to rationalize the show’s bland bigotries in the same way that Shallow Hal’s creators had: by insisting that they were critiquing weight stigma, rather than perpetuating it. The 2018 movie I Feel Pretty takes the Farrellys’ premise—magic that makes one see the world differently—and aims it inward, at a woman who becomes convinced that she looks like a model. The film’s creators also insisted, unconvincingly, that they were going for satire.When Shallow Hal premiered, some reviews echoed its creators’ marketing messages. The Times dubbed the movie a Critic’s Pick, claiming that the Farrellys “cunningly transform a series of fat jokes … into a tender fable and a winning love story.” Roger Ebert argued that the Farrellys were “not simply laughing at their targets, but sometimes with them, or in sympathy with them”—and concluded that “Shallow Hal has what look like fat jokes … but the punchline is tilted toward empathy.”The bar, in those assessments, is so low. And it remains low. Shallow Hal’s reviews on Amazon Prime, where it is currently rated 4.7 out of 5 stars, include praise for its “moral message” and its “surprisingly deep premise.” The raves are at home in a world that still treats fat not as a neutral description, but as a degradation. Even in its triumphal final scenes, its romantic messes having been tidied, Shallow Hal returns to its easy inertias. Hal tries to lift Rosemary up, and the camera zooms in on him as he strains, his face twisted with exaggerated effort. A few moments later, as the couple prepares to drive off into their happily-ever-after, they get into a car. Rosemary crushes her side of it. These are the true physics of a movie obsessed with weight. Shallow Hal does what so many people have done over the years, because American culture says they should: It looks at a fat person and sees nothing but a joke.（由于看完后立刻决定搬运，所以没有附上翻译，如果可能会抽空更新翻译版本，现在就先记录留档下。

媒体，报纸，图书，周遭，长辈等等，从我们出生，其实周遭就有个框架，我们慢慢被同行，当然不是全部。

是谁说女人瘦就好看，是谁说女人一定要波大，是谁说女人的美腿很性感。

这只是我们周遭大部分人的影响。

记得有个国家风俗是喜欢胖女人的吧，越胖越美，他们也是受周遭影响。

朋友，可否暂停一下，问问自己，到底需要一个怎样的女人？

蛮精彩的电影,情节进行的很自然...总感觉没有什么可讲的,却又蛮自然的过了两个小时催眠在开始不久就上演了还是蛮紧张,被唤醒之后的情节,至身其中,如果我是导演,该怎样进行?没有什么新意,也就是这个样子男主角的面部还是蛮可以的,如果银幕只停留在他的上半身,还是可以撑住场面的与别人站在一起,黯然失色.人类是有面孔识别的,进化出这个东西是为了干什么呢最主要的是认清身边的朋友或者什么的,标记一下而已理论上来讲,美丑应该都也还好吧就又用相由心生来说服自己当看过了那些孩子,对相由心生,是一个致命的冲击可是还是愿意相信相由心生,在大部分时候都成立,反例就认为太极端对于体态,似乎还是正常一些好吧不要影响行动在影视中,清醒的时候,似乎还是认定了美的标准考虑这些深入的问题,真蛋疼,不会有结果的

喜欢Gwyneth Paltrow，深额高鼻，四肢修长，刷上漆往那一摆，就叫做希腊文明。

不长的脸庞以人中为界，上半部分负责营造神秘，画上熊猫眼凝眸的时候，即便冷淡决绝，也总有几丝闪烁跳将出来，那是绝望后的柔弱。

下半部分负责表露真诚，凌厉的嘴角一旦上翘，能把边缘描在脸庞之外，整个世界为之浓墨重彩。

她不把“尤物”刻在脸上，却让一拨人如梦如癫，这同样是一种侵略性的美，比胸脯、嘴唇好用得多，那是绸缎滑过皮肤，少女在隔壁叹息。

《七宗罪》里她的脑袋被快递，我从此不看凯文·史派西的电影以示惩罚。

《超完美谋杀案》里她懵懂地走出麦克叔和阿拉贡的局，当夜她就身着无袖高领毛衣慌张地逃进了我梦里。

这一回，她是一个胖女孩的“真身”。

当杰克布莱克（就是功夫熊猫）被催眠后，不由自主地透过外表看“真身”，于是乎，送着胯走路、吮着奶油指的Gwyneth散发着另一种光彩。

正如电影中所说“美女不可爱，可爱不美女”（大意），如果某位女士从小对自己的美丽及其可以兑换的价值有着清醒的认识，想要她再多些羞赧、含蓄、娱己精神简直比芙蓉姐姐主动引退江湖更难。

当Gwyneth侧起脸，略带颤抖地说：“不要叫我美女！

” 你会觉得任它秋波流转不及低眉一瞬，你会以为自己深刻体会到了电影的“discern the essence”主旨。

再回头想想，打动你的不还是外在的美丽吗？

就像杰克解除催眠后抱怨说：“不管真实生活是怎样，在我眼中她是美女就足够了！

” 一部偶像剧非要阐述内在美的重要，就像非要让芙蓉姐姐做公益广告。

最后让杰克抱得胖人归，心理的刻画上显得突兀。

不过有谁会把它和《费城》相提并论呢？

要尝的是Gwyneth，别老糖醋就行！

有的话请联系我，，我想买或者麻烦好心人共享一下因为我特喜欢里面一首歌This Is My World，，Darius Rucker 唱的，，谢了。。

喜剧来源于悲剧，本片做到了，不是滑稽是喜剧。

有人说是歧视肥胖，肥胖是美国的一个普遍问题，所以片中胖子多，但是片中还有畸形，毁容，头皮屑。

杰克布莱克并没有去反讽正常的审美，可能少了很多戏剧效果，这也是本片珍贵之处，平凡之处见不凡。

结局也没有丑女变美女的反转，虽然一直期待，但是看多最后也松了一口气，没有落入俗套。

那些在大众眼中非正常的人一样可以靠自己的发明造福社会，养活自己。

而他们也更理解不被大众接受的痛苦，所以他们都去做义工，心灵真的是比很多人美丽的多。

最后格温妮斯胖了还是很美，哈哈。

《庸人哈尔》是一部由杰克·布莱克（Jack Black）主演的心理学电影，影片讲述了庸人哈尔和一个胖妞谈恋爱的故事，是一部有教育心理学色彩的电影，影片中十几岁的哈尔在父亲临终的病榻前，答应父亲以后只会约会世界上最年青、最美丽的女子。

年届三十的贺尔一直坚守着这个“原则”，他只欣赏女子的外表。

奇怪的是，哈尔发现只有那些超级模特和报纸夹页中的裸体女郎才谈得上美丽。

他找女人的首要条件就是美貌，哈尔甚至根本不会去考虑追求那些体形、微笑和风度稍有欠缺的女孩子。

于是他开始上演追逐不同美女的戏码，可是他的相貌平平，遇到了不少挫折。

早已过了而立之年的他仍不愿违背父亲的遗愿，直到哈尔与著名心理节目主持人托尼·罗宾丝不期而遇时，这一切都改变了。

托尼·罗宾丝是一个自强自立、受人尊敬的人。

他被哈尔的肤浅所吸引，并让哈尔进入了催眠状态。

在催眠状态中，哈尔看到了女人的是女人的内在美。

当他邂逅了胖得有点病态的罗斯玛丽时，哈尔看到的是一个绝色美人。

他立即开始对罗斯玛丽展开了疯狂的追求。

在哈尔看来，罗斯玛丽不仅相貌国色天香，更有一颗善良的心灵，对医院里的孤儿总是多加照顾。

好友马里西奥不忍哈尔有个相貌如此不堪的女友，经想方设法要破除掉施用在哈尔身上的催眠术。

并用谎言骗过了托尼·罗宾丝，让他说出了破解催眠的咒语。

哈尔的催眠状态被解除以后，他看待世界的方式又回到了从前的样子，他必须面对一个几乎认不出来的罗斯玛丽，并作出一个影响他一生的决定……这部心理学电影有一个很好的创意点子：让浅薄至极的主角只看到他人的心灵美，即把心灵美视觉化。

广而言之，在千百万观众身上做一个小小的心理试验：如果有一种力量能让我们只看到人的本质，那么魔鬼身材是否因此失去诱惑力？

这个故事照理应该很好笑，但奇怪的是，它只是一般的好笑，似乎在全片中不断重复着同一个笑话，即女主角像只大象，而男主角漠然不知。

有时候，我很嫉妒外国人讲故事的水平，他们能把一个众所周知的简单道理，讲述的那样深入人心，让人看到一种心灵的力量、人格的魅力。

在当下，一些粗鄙的电视节目正在大力渲染物质可以取代爱情，甚至精神，更有跳梁小丑争前恐后上节目暴露自己的无知。

看起来外表时尚的年轻男女们，越来越多的加入外貌协会，却忽略了爱的感觉，甚至是人的本质，因此，如果放在当下，这部心理学电影更加显得弥足珍贵。
