What is real beauty?

First of all, I watched the movie which is linked to youtube. In the movie, heroine participated in Miss university as a representative of New Jersey and then she starts her mission. Another movie is Gothic Lolita Undressed. Actually, when I met my group member, we watched another movie because the movie was changed to “Gothic Lolita Undressed”. But I am so confused because I cannot find any relationship between the movie and beauty. The movie, Gothic Lolita Undressed, focus on only specific and weird field of beauty not general beauty. Anyway, the main story is introduction about Japan Lolita culture. So, this movie shows which one is real Japan Lolita or not.


We were all confused by the second movie in discussion about beauty. So, we discussed about beauty with the first movie. Actually, I can say the fact that there are only few differences about beauty. That means we almost agree with the common standard beauty such as curl body, long hair, white and clean teeth, and so on. Chile, Korea and even other countries pursue western beautiful standard. We can see this phenomenon easily in everywhere and anytime. Whenever we turn on the TV, almost all commercials use beautiful models in order to introduce their products and we can see that all dramas and movies tend to use handsome and beautiful celebrities as main characters. We cannot deny the fact that such beautiful people make us sometimes happy and pleasant. That means we have accepted such beautiful aspect made by media and entertainment unconsciously.


We agree with the standard beauty but there is little bit different opinion. Americans have a tendency of regarding beauty as mature beauty not cuteness. However, In Korea, we prefer cuteness to mature beauty. Except for this difference, we cannot find different things about beauty. However, there were sorts of different opinion about what real beauty is between Luis and me. Nowadays, it is almost trend to have plastic surgery at least in Korea. So, almost all Korean women want to have plastic surgery in order for beauty. But he said that such artificial beauty is not real beauty. However, in my opinion, if that is not real beauty, what is real beauty? Beauty is evaluated by appearance [I know inner beauty is also important, however I think we cannot deny outer beauty could affect people strongly] and some animals try to make up with feathers and something like that in order to attract a partner. Plastic surgery can be seen by such a way. But the different thing is only that we use medical science and animals do not use.


When we talked about who makes you think what it means to be beautiful, our answer almost corresponded with each other. We picked up the famous celebrities, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox, blah blah blah. This means no matter how much we say that inner beauty is more important than outer beauty in order to determine who is a real beautiful person, eventually, we regard such people having beautiful appearance as beautiful people. It made us feel uncomfortable that we tend to judge others by appearance at first.
