My opinion on killing us softly

Since i didn't see the second movie, my opinion on the movie killing us softly is that in the movie i believe that she was trying to say when it comes to the media, women are just objects and not real people. I agree with this because i have learned that none of those girls in the magazines, or television are real. They are made from a person that is real sometimes, but they are not a real person that you would find on the street. They are edited until they look absolutely perfect. I think that they need to stop retouching the models so much and just use them for how they already look. The media is basically saying that everyone looks perfect like that, when in reality they don't and they are sending the wrong message to many people. Especially younger girls because from the point that they start to grow up they are exposed to these images and they are going to think that to be pretty and accepted they are going to have to look exactly like that, when in reality they most likely are not going to. I think the media definatley needs to expand and show what people really look like instead of making up people that do not even exist.
