Fat shaming is all people have left since they cannot prop up their self esteem by using race, age or disability anymore. Gandolfini has the last laugh in the film as he shows that he is the only person who is necessary and real...but, he doesn't gloat. That is the lesson after all, it is important to accept one's shortcoming and move on with the business of living a real life.Paul in Montebellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17745565294434034976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349382186889721635.post-69459082759516291302013-12-02T12:51:12.532-06:002013-12-02T12:51:12.532-06:00How was the movie itself not fat shaming--honestly...How was the movie itself not fat shaming--honestly, I'm interested to hear your assessment there because I just don't see it. <br /><br />One might make the claim that Eva learns a lesson, but it's clear she doesn't by the comments she makes after the break up about her daughter and the fact that she (genuinely) apologies for not telling him about being friends w/ his ex and not for her shitty attitude about his eating/weight. <br /><br />She wasn't "even out of line" in the movie--other characters exhibited the same attitude in smaller ways, she was just the most outspoken. As a fat person, the movie felt incredibly insulting overall. A.

But it seemed obvious, to me, that Julia Louis-Dreyfus's character was "supposed" to be out of line for her attitude. There's a difference between a character being fat shaming and a movie being fat shaming. It's a difficult line for any movie to walk. In real life, everyone is prejudiced to some degree or another.
