Catfish, the sad story


The film Catfish was interesting for the techniques that were used to found out if the people was lying about his or her identity; even though at the end of the film Nev did not do anything to Angelia for her wrong doing. Would that mean that Nev did not think that she should be punished or if there is nothing wrong with what Angelia did to he? In class everyone would agree on the fact that what Angelia did was wrong and especially weird to start with. It was wrong in the sense that  she treated Nev to believe that Angelia was an nineteen year old girl, Meg, that liked his and want to be with him, instead of Angelia, a forty year old mother. Angelia did not lie of Meg and Abby being her daughters, but she did lie about Meg being the person that Nev thought she was and Abby being able to paint the painting that was given to Nev. Angelia made all of this different identities to, in a way, live like she did in the past when she had more opportunities for having she dreaming coming true; which was one of the reasons that she may have started to make all of the identities, to get the live back that she lost. It may not seem bad to live the old live, but in reality she did put herself into the life that she had in the film. There is not really a reason to say that this was morally right or okay, to say the less. She did at the end upset Nev that the low quality prints were not from a girl and that his true love was just a mother that was unsatisfied with her own live. She deceived him to satisfied herself with the sad live she has.

  1. I completely agree that what Angela did was wrong. Even though she was just trying to make herself more happy, I do not feel like that justifies her actions. She did have a tough life and I felt very bad for her, but what she did was absolutely wrong.
