Penelope!


 So, I really just love the whole idea of "the single story," but writing about it?
...not so much... 
Anyways, this movie keeps on popin' up in my head when we talk of the single-story, so I just wanted to express it. 
First of all, have you guys seen a movie called Penelope? Well, if you have not seen it, you should; it is super awesome and cute and funny! (although, some acting parts are just... awkward) However, that is only my “single-story” so, believe it if you want; still, check it out. Anyways, I was recalling about the part where the evil rich-guy (Simon Woods picture) saw Penelope’s face, and had, later on, described to the press that she was a monster or cannibal or something of the sort. He described her face in a scary way, the way he thought she looked like the first time around. I mean, when they showed the footage of his illusion (he was in a car and he saw her out the window...i think) , I was pretty darn spooked. Well yeah, anyways, everyone totally believed him and everything until they really saw her.
Yup, it just reminded me of the one-sided story subject that we wrote on with the video. I’m pretty sure every movie has a single-story told in it but that’s ok; there is no need (or want) to write them all. So, that’s all. Thanks for reading!  
P.S.   Reese Witherspoon is in this movie! How awesome!
