Nobody forced her to be a huge fatty
This movie ignores what she brought on herself. People want a healthy mate, who can enjoy life and be around for a long time. They let that slide way too easy in this movie.
shareI don't remember the movie, it's been too long. Was she a lazy girl who doesn't exercise and ate fast food daily?
shareLol, yes ate fast food and was propably not into sports.
But she worked in the childrends department at a hospital and helped poor children abroad.
She was shown to over eat and eat a lot of junk food, which is a bit of honesty from the filmmaker, if I'm being fair. I just felt like it should have been acknowledged that her choice wasn't healthy. Honestly, Rosemary didn't have any real arc, which I'd never thought about before. At some point, she should have had her own epiphany about taking care of herself, but this movie posits the notion that its fine to be morbidly obese if you have someone who doesn't care. Kind of a fucked up message.
shareInteresting take. It's been many years since I saw this but remember liking and recommending. But yes if Hal had to change his way of seeing people, perhaps she should have changed her outlook about herself. They should have ended the film showing them a couple years later where she was at least noticeably less obese.
shareMaybe if the film had depicted Rosemary not overeating we as an audience would have more sympathy for the character.
