In reality, it's a story about all women who pursue unattainable beauty ideals. Like the main character, we lose weight, have plastic surgery, go on diets, and get fillers—in the hopes that it will bring us closer to "happily ever after" (even if we say we're doing it for ourselves—that will be in the video, too). So today, we'll once again be talking about beauty standards—this time using the film "Ugly Sister" as an example. Enjoy watching!

For example, from her mother's cruel words 06:08 Elvira gets a rhinoplasty as if she were buying new shoes for a ball. It's the same in real life. 07:50 Society also bullies Elvira, causing her to hate herself even more. 08:54 "Beauty is pain" – the motto of constant improvement out of self-hatred. 10:00 Elvira's weight loss story is a great example of the onset of an eating disorder. 11:49 The heroine seeks solace in food – how compulsive overeating works. 14:06 Diet culture constantly comes up with new, wild ways to lose weight. In "The Ugly Sister," it's a tapeworm. 16:25 "When I lose weight, I'll become beautiful, and all my dreams will come true" is a false belief sold by diet culture. 17:37 Only those who constantly "work on themselves" deserve praise. 18:51 Why you shouldn't comment on changes in a person's appearance, even to praise them. 19:52 The improved version of Elvira was happy with her appearance for less than a minute, before she compared herself to Cinderella again. 22:41 Those around the heroine don't care about her health, only her appearance. 24:33 The scene with the handsome prince is a classic Disney screen from real life. 25:34 Oppressive beauty standards normalize the wildest ways to change appearance. 27:21 The scene with the cutting off of the toes is taken from the Brothers Grimm's "Cinderella." 29:47 All the gruesome manipulations of the body in the film are not The director's invention. The tapeworm was even advertised in magazines. 31:43 Many modern beauty treatments are not far removed from eating parasites. 34:03 The male images in "The Ugly Sister" are an exemplary representation of patriarchy (as in "Substance"). 35:47 The film destroys the image of the handsome prince shaped by pop culture. 37:26 Society tells women that the most important thing in life is to marry well. 40:41 The film beautifully interprets "Cinderella" from the perspective of her sisters. 43:06 Funny!
