In this piece I will discuss my personal views on the films Miss Representation and The Mask You Live In. They uncover the truth of society's view on women, and how media molds the public eye. It is a sad enlightened truth, that the world we live in is repressed by degrading standards.
While watching these two films, I felt angry and vengeful (in a positive way). I don’t mean I wanna give a wedgie to every man in the world, just to put the bad ones in their place. It also makes me sad that the reality we live in is morphed by the media. This mass source of communication is diluted with selling the ideal of beauty. People see their idols half naked on TV, throwing themselves at anything with a pulse, and think it’s quality living. I just wanna know who’s in control of the media, and have a nice long conversation about respecting both men and women. These films make me think about all the young girls watching these so called “roll models”, and starving and painting themselves in their image. If women new how truly beautiful they were, without all the makeup, self tanning, extreme dieting, and all the other unnatural beauty supplements, the world would be happier. Beauty is just one part of the issue, the world praises the mirror too much. We should be focused on helping one another, not looking better than the other. If we cut the stress of what we physically look like, the world could conquer so many obstacles. We need to focus on ideas and philosophies, to educate the people in this modern society. This film inspires me to shoot for the stars. It lights the fire in me to go the extra mile. To show all the people who can’t see past my curly hair, that I actually have a brain under here. I want to firmly shake the hand of every pasty politician and show them that women can be amazing leaders. We should be judged on our moral character, not our weight or smile. I want to influence young girls, and show them that their beautiful in every way. That beauty comes in all shapes, colors, and sizes, just like pasta. I want to explain to men that it’s okay to be sensitive, humble and kind, that kindness is more admirable than abs any day.

" We should be judged on our moral character, not our weight or smile". That's the way the world should be!
