I remember just before we watched the movie Catfish, we saw the trailer for it. After watching the trailer I didn't know what to expect from the movie. I thought it was going to be almost like a horror film. At the very end of the trailer Nev puts his hand over the camera and says,"shut that off!" It was as if he didn't want anyone to know what was going on. There were also things in the trailer that said, you will not believe what is discovered from the film, etc.
After watching the film and realizing what actually happened I understand why Nev might not want others to know what happened. There was one part in the movie that really stood out to me. When he went to meet the real Angela, he was very surprised to see who she really was. And towards the end of the film Angela has him on a chair. She begins to paint him and she says he has a beautiful smile. She stares at him for an awkwardly long amount of time. As he looks at the camera we can see how uncomfortable he is in this situation. Angela keeps on complement him on his smile and saying that he keeps changing his smile so she keeps changing it on the painting.
I also I'm going to use the Dove commercial. This commercial is about a little girl who passes by all these images of half naked women. She is bombarded with all these images of what a perfect Woman look like and what a perfect women must do. The message at the very end of the commercial says talk to you were little girl before anyone else does. This really got me to think that girls are being affected by these kinds of images. They see these "perfect woman" that they can never become. Yet they still try to do everything they can to be just like them instead of accepting who they are.
