Yesterday, i watched a movie, named Penelope. The story is about a girl, whose ancestor was aritocrat in England and was cursed by a witch that any daughter would have a pig face all her life unless she find her true love, that can break the curse.
Penelope was brought up by her parents cryptically. When she was 17 years old, her parents tried to arrange blind date for her in order to help her to find the lover who can break the curse. The candidates always the decendents of blue blood or wealthy. Unfortunately, almost every one of the candidates was scared by her weird face and escaped in front of her as soon as possible once they saw her. A journalist, who was hurted by Penelope's mother and blinded one eye for his prying behavior when Penelope was a little baby, wanted to retaliate the family. So he found a handsome young man named Max, who is gambler, and induced him to be a petitor, in order to take a photo of Penelope and disclose the truth of her face. That meeting of the two young persons lead to a hardy, tough road to true love.
A question: was the curse on Penelope broken by the young man? No.
Max found that he falled in love with Penelope after he visited Penlope for several times. She was smart, tendy, and versatile girl. They both liked the same book, and they shared many common interests. They knew each other and were very happy together. But he would not intend to hurt her since he knew that he was not a genuine gertry and he was not sure he could be the right man who can break the curse, so he rejected to accept her love.
Penelope escaped from her home after she was rejected by Max. She decided to live another life and face the public bravely. However, surprisingly her face was accepted and she began to be liked by most of people in the city. Later her mother persuaded her to marry with Edward, who wanted to make use of Penelope's reputation and then proposed for marriage with her.Her mother wished the marriage break the curse and persuaded Penelope to accept it. But Penelope rejected to commit finally and decided to listen to her heart on the wedding. The miraculous thing happened. Her pig face disppeared, and she became a beautiful girl!
As for Max, he was inspired by Penelope's courage after he rejected Penelope. He abandoned gambling and worked hard. Penlope went to seek Max On Halloween when she know the fact. So You know the classical and beautiful end of the true love story.
For me, what I have learned from the movie is: to accept yourself, love yourself, and to know what you want and listen to your heart.
