To be fair. The girl who he described as "fine" was actually incredibly sculpted and beautiful.
yes, strong jawline is attractive
Everyone is different and prefers differently. I think Gigi looks like the average European mother. I think Jesse and Sarah are really pretty though.
He is so true, beauty is the highest currency no matter what anyone says, how many of us swipe left because you dont like the look of them, we all do it, some will never admit it. Dean would of never even looked if she wasn’t gorgeous
Mr. Mustache dude is true in his FASHION industry. It is like saying "winning is the only thing for pro-athletes". For the managers and coaches, winning the game is no longer for fun anymore but for surviving in the business.
But see the thing is beauty is based on opinions not fact. I for one don't find these woman beautiful at all. And many men wouldn't either. I'd say they're attractive, pretty at best. But to me Kim Kardashian was BEAUTIFUL before all the surgery. Marilyn Monroe was beautiful. These women are all sharp bones with no shape. And this is what we're taught is the epitome of beauty. I'm glad those standards are changing.
But yes he was right
specially nowdays beauty takes you places being an influencer you dont need talent just look good
@J B First of all I said the exact opposite. I said these women are attractive and pretty. Plesse read the comments properly before u reply.
@J B Empirical levels of beauty please stfu. A woman doesn't have to have the figure of a praying mantis to be considered beautiful. You and these Nazi minded assholes trying to make your beauty standards facts. 🤣
"I think If she wasn't beautiful, you wouldn't have even stopped to look" Notice how Dean didn't even correct Jack nor could he back up the inner beauty argument. Is that to say on some level he thought Jack was right?
of course, he even looks shameful for a moment
@@fantasiazplatkami Makes you wish you were so you can jump in on the debate right? I sure do.
@@Senate300 My view on it is if course yes, first you look , then come up and talk. The same on dating sites,pretty photos get more hits. Robert has a point here. No question about it.
@@fantasiazplatkami I'm talking about his stance on natural beauty being currency. On it being the only thing. I think he's half right.
@@Senate300 of course it is, hence getting a beautiful young wife enhances man' s status. You have money , you purchase beauty. You have beauty, you get luxury life.
honestly i agree. ppl are so quick to say appearance don’t matter but in reality it does. appearance makes you interested in that person but personality comes second bc that’s what keeps you interested.
I agree. That's the brutal truth.
This movie is stuck in my head forever.
Omg same
This scene worths the entire movie. Epic.
It's true every person reacts instantly when meeting/ speaking to someone truly beautiful. Just natural to be impressed by someone who makes everyone else look ordinary.
@@jakenorthbriz only taylor hill there is truly beautiful, the other girls there are average (including elle, gigi etc)
@@jadex9733 I disagree, Elle is gorgeous she got classic looks like a 13th century Princess
@@jakenorthbriz elle is average. If you think she is beautiful you standards are extremely low
@@jakenorthbriz Agreed, Elle is stunning!!
There is something terrible and beautiful at the same time in this scene. This man is a designer, the whole point of his life is to create beautiful dresses for beautiful women to make them look even more beautiful. Morality for him and for these models has no value, because their lifestyle does not mean many interactions with a many different people, they live just for fashion and beauty. So from his side, what he says is quite reasonable. He sound like some sort of cold-blooded scientist or fanatic artist.
And by the way, I think by the ideal beauty of Jessie, he means not just appearance, but specifically "living" beauty, the way she talks, walks, and of course the fact that she is young and inexperienced, this gives her some kind of inner glow.
It's not about beauty, at all. That is a misunderstanding most people have about this movie, causing them to miss the point entirely. Beauty is a subjective experience, it depends on who the beholder is. With me as the beholder, my eyes are permanently fixed on Ruby. I'm gonna tell her I'm 14! Maybe she'll attempt to mount me too?
What this is really about is something that everyone can agree on, because it's quantifiable: Age. Jesse is 16. Awesome! Modelling agencies wants them as young-looking as possible! And Jesse who looks like a literal child, is perfect! But it's not just about her looking young, it's about her having the brain capacity of a child as well; She is naïve and ignorant to the ways of the world. It's her ignorance that the focus is on, because of the true purpose of this movie: It's a criticism on the modelling industry and how they don't give a flying fuck about the harm they're causing as long as the profits keeps rolling in.
One last example for now: Remember her signing with the model agency? During that meeting they found out that she had lied about her age, and that she was actually 16. They immediately got another signature form out and pushed her into signing that one too.
The first thing she was given to sign was the standard modelling contract, which she signed. The second one is a Parental Consent form, which they also manage to get her to sign, and in doing so she has committed a felony. As for the first contract she signed; With no valid Parental Consent form signed, this contract is null and void.
And Jesse doesn't have a flying fuck what just happened, or what the future implications are.
In closing, a few words from someone who actually lived this life:
"Fashion is not art. Fashion isn't even culture. Fashion is advertising, and advertising is money. And for every dollar you earn, someone has to pay." - Gia
He has a point
how?
@@jadex9733 you’re welcome.
I finished doing drugs
Then you my dear should be very worried
Sarno's argument is pretty easy to refute: he is a high-status man who has access to a lot of beautiful women. What's left then for him to focus on when he chooses the women he wants to spend time with? Personality. Looks matter, but if you keep them as a constant (i.e. you're the kind of guy who can go with any beautiful woman he wants) then personality is the most important thing, something a guy in his position experiences first-hand. Dean could have easily owned him and simultaneously praised him here.
Not really. You'd think that because he has access to the most beautiful women he wouldn't need to care about beauty anymore, but it's actually the opposite, it makes him even more critical, even more in search of the beauty that will surpass the precedent one, the younger, fresher, newer one. Just look at DiCaprio and his nineteen year old girlfriend.
I work in fashion, I have access to a lot of models. And beauty always will be is everything to me. But it's not some stupid stereotype beauty, only my personal standarts. If girl have bad skin - no, thanks, I don't wanna see her or talk with her, go see dermatologist, please. If girl have narrow hips or zero breast - no thanks, I'm no interested spend time together with girl who are totally not sexy to me. Too big breast or Kardashian-style ass - no thanks, it's not look aesthetical. Honestly I like only 5-7 girls from 100, while all this 100 looking great for most men.
Of cource, I have a fit body too, six packs and all other shit. Also I like women with freckles, no freckles - no interest.
Personality? It's for everyday normal loosers. I was child prodigy, start reading 4 years old, read more than 700 books, study astrophysics as hobby, has IQ 145. Most girl's "personality" for me just a ridiculous little thing. I prefer beauty, hotness and cuteness
@@spiritualsnail1584 DiCaprio is a poor example he have no taste in women. Men who value beauty, never give a shit about woman's age. If you see Ferrary you never asking "it's a new Ferrary or Ferrary from 2010s?". It's stupid question coz for Ferrary age never matter.
Tbh, Sarno didn't dispute importance of "what's inside"- he just kind of owned Dean for being all holier than though. We don't get a lot of Dean and we have no reason to assume he's a bad person and I fully do believe he likes Jessie's personality, but um. Mr. "it's inside that matters" is dating who? Oh yeah, the prettiest model in the room, and he's being needlessly mean to the girl he does NOT find physically attractive. Like "... ... ... I mean yeah she's *fine*" he says with that disgusted look on his face. He doesn't care what's inside HER, he doesn't care that HER feelings will be hurt...
At life’s end we may look back to find we’ve played every role of these 5 actors at some point in our lives… young, innocent, desperate, jaded, the observer…
Friendly reminder to everyone agreeing with him in the comments: you're not actually supposed to agree. The movie is centred around the premise that this line of thinking is predatory, toxic and ultimately leads to self destruction. This dude is the bad guy.
Finally, someone who gets it.
what this dude said was not a lie beautiful people get ahead a lot easier that dosen't mean they don't work hard but they just do
@@tobiaslawrence8928 It is technically true, yes. However the movie poses the question; SHOULD this be the case, or is it ultimately toxic and harmful?
@@bananamanchester4156 honestly should it be the case? My answer 60/40 evryone else depends on their answer's I honestly don't see it as toxic to use you looks to get ahead hell there are people who use disability/ethnicity/and their sexuality to get a head so why not
@@tobiaslawrence8928 well because as is mentioned in the film, looks fade quickly with age. So if you base your whole life and worth on how you look, how can you cope when you're older? Some people are driven to madness by it, and develop eating disorders and other problems. To be a well rounded and healthy person you should really develop all your skills.
Yes it is true that her Beauty might of attracted him to her but it’s not just about the appearance he liked her personality and as he got to know her he probably enjoyed who she was as a person
yeah and they break up right after this scene coz she turns ugly on the inside (becomes a narcissist)
most people are good, most people don't suck. we all think we're special but we're actually very similar. only beauty and quality time in bed is what keeps a relationship going.
Nahh they had only hung out a couple times, you don’t know people’s personally by then
Yes inner beauty is important but the whole point the older guy made is that, Dean would not have noticed her and wanted to get to know her had she not been beautiful to begin with. So in the end looks do matter more sadly.
Putting these girls against each other 🤦🏻♀️ that’s what killed Jessie in the end.
No, it wasn't. They killed her out of envy, jealous, and they hated her because Jesse was a mirror. Every time they looked at her, she was a reminder of everything that they lacked or they weren't. She had something that they couldn't buy or achieve by training. What Jesse had is something you can take is something that is given. Because Jesse wasn't particularly more beautiful than them, but she had grace, aura, Mojo, whatever you want to call it, what really difference them apart.
Anyone else watch this film to get in the Halloween mood?
They're both kinda right.
If the beautiful girls are cold and lifeless and ruthless, they're not beautiful on the inside. They might capture your eye, but beyond that you have no desire to approach them, because they're just cold. But they do catch your attention the easiest.
Inner beauty is kindness, compassion, joy for life, varies what people value the most. When someone has inner beauty, they captivate. If they were plain and you just bumped into them, but once you talk to them, they turn magnetic. They make you feel good and seen, like life itself echos from them.
Best combo is of course both. Beautiful to catch the eye, and inner beauty keeps hooked. Inner beauty also enhances all the outer beauty in a person, so a plain person turns beautiful, and a beautiful person turns almost ethereal.
This scene is art.
Beauty is inside is the biggest lie we tell to ugly people to make them feel better and what beautiful people say to look relatable and less threatening to those who are not
Funny how you commenters discuss the concept of beauty with zeal. It was a good scene of a very good movie, but it's not complete! I miss the epic line: "beauty isn't everything; it's the only thing!"
When the villain is right
the agent is not wrong at all if you consider his position in the high fashion industry.
Actually his position proves him wrong, cause it makes him be able to choose from a lot of beautiful women to sleep with, meaning looks for him are a constant, an abundant resource (unlike the average man). Which would make the woman's personality his main deciding factor.
@@hkleider he is actually gay in the movie and he is a least 80% right in his speech
@@fab21675 yeah when Dean enters, the agent rubs his six pack.
This film made me feel so f*cking uncomfortable, weird but an unforgettable experience.
Omg i love this scene soo sooo much
Tay Hill!
this scene is a perfect explanation of the 'mid' phenom. women hear it and think "shes fine". but men think jesse is a mid.
Even though she's one of the villains, I felt so bad for Gigi here. He flat out humiliated her in front of everyone by basically saying she's nothing compared to Jesse. I know the movie is pointing out how brutal the industry is on women and it really shows here. I can understand Gigi's anger and frustration. She's had all those surgeries to try and keep up and he tells her that's exactly why she's nothing and never will be.
Is that Taylor Hill?
yep
The one and only!
Wait, does this mean I’m actually pretty? Take the last sentence this man says an gnaw on it
Is that the director's wife in the background?
Yes
+djmovieloverdane cute little touch
They’re both wrong and right, beauty is definitely ALWAYS going to be THE first impression, the first thing you look at and are attracted or not attracted to and definitely sells … But we can still appreciate peoples beauty on the outside and love what’s on the inside if it’s good. There should be a balance … but we’re only human 🤷🏽♀️
Ur name is Bean??
We've all met someone incredibly beautiful and attractive... And the moment they open their mouth, you go "Okaaay, thanks, see you neverrr..."
Does he have a point? Sure. Is it the whole picture? Far from, haha ☺️
This is cringe considering the other models are just as pretty if not prettier than Jessie
Yeah but their beauty is fake, unnatural. While Jesse’s beauty is pure and untouched. Which is why she is a diamond in a sea of glass ; glass can be beautiful but a diamond is completely different.
[ L ] Empty Thoughts Elle is very cute don’t get me wrong. But she isn’t striking, you would not notice her in a crowd, surgery or not. Someone like Audrey Hepburn is a diamond amongst glass. But she plays the part well so that’s probably why they chose her for the part. :)
Tawny yy - But that’s the thing, it’s not about "beauty" in the literal sense of the word. If it was, then yes all the women in this scene are absolutely amazing in their own way.
It’s about how Jesse is pure from top to bottom, inside and out. She is this new girl who just started in this industry, she have this purity of a child who is just discovering the world and she is beautiful. While the other girls are "tainted" ; they have sex with any person that can get them a job, they’re ready to destroy their faces to be "perfect" etc.. And that’s why they’re the glass and not the diamonds. They are pretty, but they’re not "striking".
You could compare this with the way light shine through a window (glass) and through a diamond. Both are the same transparency, but the way it’s built makes the light shine very differently through them.
@@tawnys6172 The thing is that Jessie's beauty has that IT factor. When you see her in a completely regular setting, she is pretty, cute, all those things, but not drop dead gorgeous. However, because she's confident in her beauty, in herself (shyness doesn't equal insecurity) people can see and mold her to whatever they want to see. Weird abstract photoshoots with crystals on her skin or weird golden goo? She can carry it. She can be a pink doll or a baroque angel. She can be fragile, or dangerous, she can do high fashion and wholesome cotagecore photos.
It isn't so much that her beauty is extraordinary, it is more that it is classic.
The girl that stood up tries to hard to work against her natural face and look like a different person. Everything, from her posture to her makeup, doesn't suit her perfectly. Because she can't do it all- probably because she operated her face so much that it became a brand rather than a canvas.
The other girl is way more natural, but she still isn't confident in herself and it shows- she sees one aspect of her looks (her gorgous sharp chekbones) and thinks that sharp is the only thing she can be. She is denied the runway gig that Jessie got because she didn't suit the look the boss man wanted.
However, after she eats some of Jessie, and gets that it factor (letting your beauty shine through your skin rather than try and plaster beauty ONTO your skin) she is shown that she is going to be successful. It isn't just that she got the gig at the end of the movie, it is that her whole vibe is different. She doesn't LOOK any different, but she looks so much softer. She accepts herself and merely allows other people see it rather than beg them to see it.
@@lemptythoughts9399 That part alone is very sexist. I never understood why people thought the sexual lives of women affected their beauties?
God I hated this scene so much. I think it's to show how vain people are when it comes to attractiveness.
This is the REAL WORLD
@@portugalsud2924yeah, and it’s okay to hate it.
Not true, interesting and loyal people stay in a relationship. Good relationships lead to more wealth and happiness.
To anyone who agrees with this know this logic applies to you as well. You should be worried especially if you’re a women because the second you hit 25, are overweight or considered straight up just ugly you are worthless. That’s a beautiful life right?🙄
Your worth as a woman will grow with your children and grandchildren.
Uhhh, what? 25? 25 for a woman is nothing, beauty-wise, body-wise, etc. If she takes care of herself, how does the age of 25 change anything about how she looks? Wtf are you even talking about? Though, of course, I also think that beauty is not the most important thing but how does 25 change anything?
@@bigben8502 Children and Grandchildren doesn't define a woman's worth. Some don't even want to have kids for a lot of reasons.
Is this dicaprio
@@bigben8502 Those are a children's worth.... not hers. Her or his worth comes from feeding their vanity.
if you are here im sorry to tell you that it is indeed oveeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I’ve gotten all of my jobs because of how I look. My talents are oversights. Being objectified sucks.

keep coping christcel ramirez satanmaxxes and mogs you to the grave while you cope with prayer
So many beautiful people get dumped coz they've got shit personalities or are idiots. Looks count sure, but it's way below on things that actually matter. If you really think that's the highest currency then you seriously don't have much going for in your life.
Low key gigi waaaaay hotter than the main bish just had to point that out n im gay lmao but aesthetically speaking
I mean, Gigi has that whole poised glamour makeup aesthetic so I see where you're coming from.
@@christopherbennett5858I’d pick Sarah over all of them
@@askurgirlaboutmee I get it. If I was straight, I could see the appeal but the cannibalism with no regrets is a bit of a red flag.
@@christopherbennett5858 absolutely I agree, but I was talking about looks. If we’re talking personality, I’d pick Jesse
@@askurgirlaboutmee Fair enough.
Honestly, Jesse reminds me of those child stars who bought into their hype and were forced to grow up too soon. It really adds to this modern fairy tale aesthetic the movie has.
tbh i kind of felt bad for Gigi here. and it hurts even more because at least half of what he’s saying is true. Like 50% of the time or more women are ostracized for getting work done (whether or not it’s okay is another argument). Not only does the scene show how models are constantly being compared to each other, how they are no more then their faces to the people in the industry; but it shows how much power Jesse has in that area. This was right after her mental turning point, which would have been the runway scene, so you can see her demeanor change. She acts more egocentric, showing how she is recognizing her value in the modeling industry, and it’s getting to her head.
