Doll Face !

    My first thoughts on the video "Doll Face" were that it was just weird and creepy. But at the end of it, I understood it more. I think the video is showing how people look up to things they see on television and such, seeing as everyone likes it, and tries to be just like what they see. All to be liked by the world. But soon they see that it's just an act, and quite a tough act to follow at that. It's just too much for them to handle, at some point they fall apart.
    The video shows how people change every time they see something new. Towards the end, when the Doll Face is reaching for the television, that's showing how far people will go to be something they're not. But soon enough, whatever they're going for is too far out of reach. They don't meet up to the world's expectations and end up destroying themselves.
    I also think this video means that people just try to be something or someone that they're not. They think everyone else will like them if they pretend to be something they may think is cool. But truth is, if you do pretend to be something you're not, then people will figure that out after a while, they'll see through you. And they will use everything they can against you, just to destroy you. After all that, you'll have nothing left, and just fall apart.
     It's a very depressing thing if you think about it. That some people in the world can't accept each other for who they are. Just because society has somehow set expectations for what people should be like and what they think is right in life.
     I suggest that people need to look into this video more. They need to realize to just be themselves, it's a lot easier that way. Sure, some people may not like the true you, but hey, those people are probably the ones that shouldn't matter to you. The people that truly matter to you, and care for you, are the ones that accept you for who you really are. And if those who matter, don't accept you, then I think they need to learn how to. They need to realize that everyone is different, that's how the world is supposed to be.
     Just remember, the things you might have been told growing up or heard somewhere, might not be right. You need to think for yourself. Only you can decide what you think is right in life. If you never learn to accept some things, don't expect yourself to get far.
