Shallow Hal was a movie made in 2001 that touches on the topic of female beauty. Hal is a shallow guy who undergoes a hypnosis that makes him only see the beauty within women. This is a one of a kind movie that really shows how narrow minded society can become if beauty keeps being defined as a certain size, shape, or body type. There is this image that society paints of the ideal women, but in reality that look does not hold true for the average everyday women. Hal has this skewed view of what makes a women beautiful, but in the end through getting to know the real inner beauty of Gweneth Paltrows character. He was able to realize that appearances are only the tip of the iceberg and whats on the inside is more important. He finds out that the women he fell in love with is actually obese and not as perfect has he imagined. Through the hypnosis he was able to look past the outside appearance and really get to know the genuine person that was within.
