I was watching a film over the
weekend. I was in the mood for something
silly and when I saw a film entitled “School for Seduction” with Kelly Brook I
thought why not. It’s not my usual kind
of film, no zombies, no action, no sci-fi but I was game for a laugh.
I was expecting a silly plot, bad
acting and a lot of Kelly Brooks in various poses and to the large extent, I
got what I expected. But, I admit, there
was a little substance there too.
Behind the title and the usual
kind of story where you know from the start what is going to happen, there was
a message. If you looked through all the
twaddle, the main premis of the film was that women don’t need to change their appearance
or pander to someone else’s will to be loved, all they need is confidence in
themselves.
If you take away the excesses of
the film, the characters in the School for Seduction could be based on so many
women out there. The woman whose husband
thought that her life should revolve around him, the girl who didn’t think she
was good enough, the woman with aspirations but no confidence to achieve them,
the girl who didn’t feel pretty enough.
I may have been looking too hard
for some depth in this film; in fact I know I was. In the end though, it gave a little nudge to
my confidence, a reminder that confidence is sexy and we don’t need to change
what we look like or who we are.
So there you go. I found a positive in a Kelly Brook
film. Stranger things have happened.
