Quick Thought: The Queen

I was watching "Just Wright" and I realized just what a great example Queen Latifah is for women. I think in this society where they say that being skinny is what makes you beautiful, she comes along to fight against the ridiculous idea that plus-size women can't be amazing and beautiful.

Many times when we watch movies where the main character is plus size, there is always talk about her size. She is either being treated differently because of the way she looks or she is insecure of herself and then comes to the realization that what makes you beautiful is who you are inside. But with the characters that I see in Queen's movies, there is no focus on weight. They focus on the person, they focus on other and more important struggles that human beings experience like finding someone to love.
