Real Women

The popular supermodel style in Taiwan makes girls who do not have perfect body proportions seem to be ashamed of being women, but the HBO homemade movie "Curvy and Slim is Not a Dream" wants to challenge this traditional wrong definition of girls' appearance! "Curves are not a dream" and "Real Women Have Curves" are based on screenwriter Josefina Lopez's own personal experience. When she started writing the script, she was only 19 years old. She looked at the adult world in the future from a young girl. Because of the simple courage of youth, many complex myths about traditional values ​​were liberated in her writing. Especially when the plot moves into a garment factory, where all the female workers frantically take off their clothes in the hot and unbearable factory, confessing all the extra pounds they eat, it makes people want to stand up and applaud the courage of these girls! It’s no wonder that the film was listed among the “Top 10 Outstanding Filmmakers” by Variety Daily at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, and was recognized twice by the Sundance Film Festival in the same year. When director Patricia Cardoso was looking for sponsorship, she faced the fact that the sponsoring consortium required actors to remain thin models due to marketability. However, after persevering along the way, she was lucky enough to get the favor and support of HBO. However, after that, she traveled to 4 continents in the United States and spent more than 2 months.
