Doll Face

I found this video extremely interesting. It's not like other videos you see and it makes you think. At first, I thought this video would be about electronics, television, or history, but after the video actually began, it instantly reminded me of the pressure society puts onto girls.


The girl, or machine, in the video seen a pretty face on the television, so she stretched herself to meet that pretty face. Then, an even prettier face showed up and she stretched herself even farther to reach that one. A third face then appeared, which was the prettiest, and the girl stretched the farthest trying to reach that but found out she couldn’t. That broke her.

Society does this to many girls. They Photoshop pictures and girls often try to match that, which is unrealistic. Many of the girls who do, end up trying to hard and end up hurting themselves in some way (like becoming anorexic). The video was a simple demonstration of this kind of effect society has on the girls.

But I also found the video interesting because it was a weird gray color and the television had color and was the only thing to really make any sound. They put what girls strive to do in a very neat way.
