SHALLOW HAL
I really see truth in Emme's statement that fatness is the "last acceptable prejudice." I think it's interesting that the other two women interviewed are not fat anymore. On some level, I think that Wilson and Holliday hold this prejudice because they couldn't accept themselves as fat women. From the very beginning of the interview, Holliday says she had a difficult time watching the fat Rosemary. Wilson makes a great point that if this movie were about race and not weight, "it would be shocking."
When asked if anything in the movie made them laugh, Emme was the only one that said yes. The fact that she was proud of her cannonballs as a kid shows that she wasn't ashamed of her size the way the other women are. Emme has embraced her size and made a successful career for herself being who she is. The other two women still have issues with their weight, even though they are thin.
