Earlier this week in class, we had to watch this somewhat creepy video called "Doll Face". What I got out of it was this scary feeling of "what just happened"? It was so weird! Okay, so during English class Tuesday, or maybe it was Monday, I’m not entirely sure but we watched this video and it was weird. So this is what happened. There's this strange looking somewhat alien-ish looking robot with that that alien face. Her eyes are black and she doesn't have a body as a human, but she has this electronical body that comes out of I would guess a jack box? Well she comes out and she's scary looking, like she has no life at all. There's this TV in this white room and she leans into it to watch it. I suppose she got hooked into it and she just wanted to watch this one certain part with this girl's face on it. And I think she got obsessed or something, because she kept wanting to watch it and tried to copy her.
She keeps copying her, and little by little she starts to look like her. All she has is make up on at first, but then the TV is kind of broken, so it doesn't work? And then it comes to life, like you could see more. And she sees eyes, and color onto the face. So she applies more make up, like blush and bronzer and then she sticks an eye into her. Now she has one eye. Over time she starts to look exactly like her. But then she cannot go any further because her mechanical body has a limit and won't let her follow the TV. And then she starts to break down, and her face looks very sad.
From what I got from that video is that she's like most people. It's like people have a role model or at least something, somebody that they would like to admire and follow their actions. And with that creepy robot girl, hers was a human. I think she was just trying to be like somebody else that she looked up too. But I also think she got somewhat obsessed and like, she just couldn't take it any further. She was so into creating herself into something she's not, and I think it's a message to all readers that us as the people shouldn't be obsessed with somebody else, just be yourself.
