One of my favorite things about movies is the fact that the majority of them teaches morals. There’s always the good guy who gets themselves trapped in a conflicting decision of right and wrong and they typically have to learn that doing the right thing will always be better than the bad. This is the same for television shows. One of my favorite morals that films try to teach are when the main character learns that being themselves is the best thing to do. Recently I watched a movie called “Penelope.” The movie is about a young girl who was born with the curse of having a pig nose and ears. Her whole life has been spent living locked away in a house with her loving protective mother and father. Everything revolves around her finding a proper suitor who will marry her and break the curse because her mother believes that if she found someone who would marry her, then the curse would be broken. Penelope had to be “loved by her own kind.” At one point, Penelope runs away and explores the city she had never been allowed to visit before. She meets friends and soon enough, learns that she can enjoy life without worrying about what people think of her. At the end of the film she finally learns to love herself just as she is, which breaks the curse. The moral of the film is that you need to like yourself and it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. I thought it was a really cute movie with a good moral lesson. I like how movies try to teach people to like themselves and not care about what other people think because it’s a good thing to think and many people don’t quite understand that simple concept.
