Though Mr. Garrioch promised us to finish watching Catfish next class, I just couldn't wait, so I finished it by myself a few minutes ago. All I can say is that I'm pretty much confused now. At first I felt scared of how a person like Angela could exist in the world, fooling everyone. But at the end of the documentary where I saw her crying, telling all the truth on how much she wanted to be an artist, I couldn't let myself stop crying with her. Although I still think she's a weird person, I think I can understand her a bit at least. She has been having this dream of being an artist, but the reality for her was to take care of two handicapped children, as her routine. If I were in her shoes I might have wanted to commit a similar thing perhaps. I can feel how much she wanted to socialize with others, while she lacked confidence on herself. She had to put her in disguise in order to do something that she wanted for a fairly long time. The only thing is that the way she did it was not so right. So well, for now, I would not judge on what she has done. I need more time to think deeply on such matters and to get some more information. I'll be back with more thoughts! :)
You have to put SPOILER ALERT above. You and Soobin are probably not the only ones not to listen to me and go ahead and watch the rest, but in any case watching it again won't hurt. I've seen it at least 5 times and I always notice new details which make me think the entire thing is a bit of a sham. Ironically, the truest thing in the movie is Angela. I don't think the three young dudes from New York are genuine at all.
답글삭제It sound weird, but I'm actually friends with Angela on Facebook, and I enjoy her updates. She really is weird, but not in a bad way. If you dig deep their is a ton of interesting stuff you can find on the internet about the film and everyone in it. Even the "fake Angela" profited from the film. I look forward to assigning some writing on this film, and it's great to see you already got started.
