ya see, dollface starts out as her own person. she sees the picture on the TV and tries to mimic what she sees. soon, it becomes an unachievable goal to the point of where she breaks.
its all about fitting in society and what society has done to us.
i think its trying to say if you try to be like a plastic hollywood doll your gonna break. is this right? im only in grade 7 x) when do you have to do this like what grade? trying to prepare myself!!! haha
Excellent explanation from Rocket. This only thing i would add is that there is a theme of knowing and understanding your limitations. Some people dont like to admit they have limitations but i believe we all do in some way. Doll Face shows that very well.
Its also interesting that Andy Huang had a stab at the media through a form of media. im in no way suggesting he is a hypocrite... just find that interesting.
...Although it seems like it, this isn't only pointed to women. Its pointed towards humanity as a whole and how the media (more like MADia) manipulates us to become what we're not in order to achieve happiness.
Well, a temporary happiness.
Of course, this video shows the female side to it, but with guys, you'll see guys doing things to be more appealing sexually, physically, and more. Have you seen those diet pill commercials?
what youre saying about the media manipulating us to seem appealing sexually, physically, and more isnt right. media i purely a reflection of humanity as a whole. the competetive nature of any living thing will lead them to make strides to single themselves out by doing things to attract attention. this is natural selection, survival of the fittest
So basically, when you see little girls emulating their tv idols, or even wishing they lived their lives like Barbie, its just "survival of the fittest?" I disagree.
We have rap videos glorifying promiscuity, luxury, and violence. I hardly see that as survival of the fittest because most of the things that the media "teaches" are simply materialistic unnecessary things. We have basic necessities, and the media pretty much tells us to get it, but way beyond what we actually need.
For me, the subtle thingie in this video is that among all those images of daily simple life, full of emotions, shown to the doll, she becomes atracted by the only superficial image - a face full of make-up. It is not a reference to women, it only subtly describes the true nature of humanity which is quite superficial in all possible ways. Imo..
Its likes mans quest for god through technology personified... and the tradegy of mortality as he quests to replicate the universal image! genius xxxxxxx
You are a fucking genius!...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I love how deeply moved all the fourteen year old youtubers are by this video. I love even more how they try to philosophy around it, trying to discover some "hidden meaning."
Would you have said the same thing if an adult had made the same response? Its plain as day what the video represents. A fuggin monkey could understand it.
These kids are obviously much smarter than you. Its amazing to me how blinded and ignorant some people become as they get older.
The same response? Exactly what "response" are you talking about? I don't remember myself being so specific about it. I obviously said "all the fourteen year old youtubers", so no, I probably wouldn't called an adult a fourteen year old. Fucktard.
And how are these kids obviously much smarter than me? Can you see all that, based on something that I wrote online which you then didn't even understand?
It makes me laugh when unintelligent people (e.g., you) claim someone is smarter than I am.
That is not what I meant at all, Troll . Use your brain and think.I asked a simple question and what I meant was if an adult coming in had made the same comments would you have made the same response? not about them being 14 but "I love even more how they try to philosophy around it, trying to discover some "hidden meaning." And how are they smarter than you ? because like I said monkey could figure out the meaning behind this video and apparently by your comment you haven't done so.
Troll? An adult coming in? Jesus, kid, you are confused.
Yes, I would have "made the same response", you jackass.
And if I'm a troll, why are you playing right into my hands by reacting the way you do? Hahaha. Don't throw the word "troll" around like it's an insult just because your new to this whole "Internet" thing.
Oh, and in what way does my comment show that I don't understand the meaning behind it? Feel free to point it out, and please be specific.
You know nothing of my music taste and if you're going by what I have on you tube, you're an idiot. i rarely even come on this site and i listen a large variety of music. just because youre a thousand year old wrinkly man and listen to banjo playing does not mean yours is any better.
its your opinion on if my music is bad or not. opinion does not =fact. I like what I listen to and thats all that matters. ok maybe its a bit hypocritical to judge but it makes more sense to judge by someones words than appearance because appearance is deceiving. As far as throwing the intelligent bit around nice try but I never made that claim about myself. try something else. And if you are aware of what the video means then why don't you say instead of coming just to attack?
Apparently its you who is unintelligent. you have serious issues with reading comprehension skills. FYI a huge majority of the music that is my favorite is unsigned and no where near mainstream. like an idiot you continue to go by the few videos i have on my page.you keep throwing that untelligent thing around. Self reflection much? fyi Im no where near unintelligent. not saying i'm a genius but Im a hell of a lot smarter than you are and im not where near new to the internet, sweetie.
"Im no where near unintelligent", shit, you convinced me. Now if you're so smart (and such a good reader, too!) feel free to answer to the things that managed to slip you by before.
It's only your opinion that opinion does not = fact.
I never judged you by your appearence. Lrn2read.
ALSO, WHAT FUCKING CLAIM ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? And you say -I- have a hard time reading? Jeez. How about you stop ignoring my arguments, master-debat0r?
It's showing that "dollface" represents us as human beings and how we want to be what we see, what has been stereotyped as ashion, so we change ourself from what we are to what we want to become but in doing that we end up destroying ourselves..
How beautiful and deep that is. What do you think it means? I think it shows the way we all want perfection, keep on pushing ourselves over the limit, perhaps even to death. It would be better to just be happy with who we are. Beautiful.
This makes me cry... It's only worse that this is only a parallel to people in real life...
