      But his looks do matter. Specifically, his deformity in the film is designed in such a way that it doesn't affect his physique or any key facial features. He pretty much looks the sam as before, but with a shaved head and some fake tattoos. That's not a beastly mutation, that's a lame Snapchat filter.

Beauty, and what people consider exotic as well, are both very perspective based topics. I, personally, would consider an Irish Girl, from Ireland, more exotic than a Latina from Mexico. Or an Italian more exotic than a Puerto Rican. So it's a relative concept, you know?

    9:25 I think this change was by far the worst. The point of having him be transformed into a literal beast was so that he would look worse than people with scars or deformities so that he would no longer be in a position to look down on them. By taking that away and making him only semi-deformed, (if you can even call it that,) you completely throw another great motif of the book out the window.

Where he learns his lesson and not have be a shut in and some of the most boring scenes in the movie just having him moping around. Then he goes and stocks his love interest. I would have liked it if Lindy knew it was Kyle there for knowing what kind of person he is and why at first she doesn't like him. It was a boring movie

    • @sorcerersapprentice
      @sorcerersapprentice Před 5 lety +10

      I agree. How I would've handled the story is by making him just be a smug asshole, who gets into a horrible car crash, which horribly disfigured him. Like a more realistic Two Face levels. He goes to school and is mocked for looking ugly. Lindy, who is a bit haughty herself, is forced to do a project with him. Soon, she realizes what happened to him and takes pity on him, but still treats him like a normal person. They fall in love from there. Then again, I'm not sure how to handle this without making it seem like one of those stupid movies that treat disability in a demeaning manner.

    Don't mind me, just going through old videos.
    On the note of "There's so much stalking"- It's much better done in the book, because originally, He doesn't even stalk the main girl. At first, he uses to spy on his old friends, hoping to see them broken up about him not being around, only to see them move on, be happier without him, and admit their true feelings about him, how they hated who they were around him and how, by feeding into his ego and playing along with his assholery, they were lowering themselves to his level and they *REGRET* it. This revelation sent him reeling, and it was a blow to his ego that he needed, yes, but it was also a harsh dose of reality- He'd thought he'd known everything and was king of the kingdom, but in reality he hadn't even known his "friends".
    That's when he takes a different route, and he starts using the mirror and a year book to check into all the student of his school, learning things about them that he NEVER would have normally when he was at school- thing he would've never even cared to learn, if he was being honest.
    And that's when he see's the main girl. It's not a crush or love that makes him stop on her- but Interest. This girl, who beforehand was beneath his interest, he finds out lives out a deep, complex, and more conflicted life than he could've imagined. And its through watching her, learning from her, that starts him on the path of recovering from the curse, *long* before he falls in love.
    That was always the greatest Irony of the book for me- That the girl who's life was too insignificant to pay attention to would ultimately be the girl who taught him how to live his own properly.

      @@Raptorworld22 The Epic of Gilgamesh has Enkidu, and one could extend that he is 'the beast' since he was a big, furry, animal-living-with man, made by the gods to be Gilgamesh's equal so as to subdue his wickedness; Gilgamesh was just out of control, sleeping with wives and punching husbands, and so on. But, because it's a really really really hard to read story - things are often repeated verbatim several times; 'and so the people, who gilgamesh had wronged, went to the gods and said, 'o gods, gilgamesh has wronged us' and the gods looked upon the people, who gilgamesh had wrong and come and said 'o gods, gilgamesh has wronged us' and said, 'people, who gilgamesh has wronged...' -- I didn't finish it, but it's possible Enkidu met a girl and all.

    Some guys are very rude about this. I once had a guy friend who got close to me, said he'd always be there for me, who i confided my worries to, and when I told him I had a girlfriend he said "So I wasted my time all along ? You're just friendzoning me?" I thought I had a genuine friend in him and he dropped me because he just wanted to date me.

    (ehem) let me just say, I don't normally agree with a "friendzone" mentality except under three conditions, and ALL THREE (except maybe the second one, but they must be single for that one to be null) must be true for you to complain. 1: you MUST tell your crush about your feelings. 2: if they have a S.O., they must constantly complain about them. 3: they must compare ALL potential or current suitors TO YOU in a favorable manor.
    or this is also a viable reason to complain about the friendzone. They were your s.o., they broke up with you and said you could still be friends, and you never heard from them again.

The beginning was super cringe because the protagonist is super cringe, but everything just flowed better in the book.

Why is it always pretty people???? Like he doesn't even look that bad. He looks kind of cool.

    I hate those public love confessions. I just want the earth to swallow me whole, or even better, swallow those characters.
    And everyone stands around looking at them, as if they have nothing better to do, well, considering people spent their hard earned cash paying to watch it, perhaps that is more realistic than I thought.
    And then the clapping. Why would people clap, when people they barely know, if they know them at all, make a public spectacle of themselves and sprout out enough sugar to make half the continent diabetic. Those people are blocking hallways or airports or other places people want to pass through. I can think of a dozen more likely scenarios than clapping. Half of them end in a broken nose and would make for a far less cringe-worthy ending.
    Why do this ending, when even the book did not subject innocent bystanders to the sappiness of the happy couple professing their undying, totally not skin-deep love.
    I liked the scene in the book, in which Kendra went home. I preferred the dynamic before Lindy came over, to be honest. Lindy was fine as a character, but the romance was not my favourite part. It rarely is.

He hides away because that's what his father wants, he is scared because like I said this is HIS idea of the worst. She is teaching him that he was more and is more than looks unlike the way his father raised him... but that's just my opinion and the way I see it.
