"Miss Representation" (Tyson and Jade)

We recently watched a movie called "Miss Representation". It is about the equality of women in the media and how they are discriminated against and expected to reach unreachable beauty in order to matter. We also did some notes about what we think during the movie.
These are my notes/ examples of Irony in the film:

The girls look at a photo shopped person and think they can’t be beautiful but in real life that person isn't that beautiful they just had been photo shopped.
Girls think they aren’t beautiful unless they are skinny but realistically being too skinny can cause health issues.
Most movies aren’t about women even some chick flicks.
Some people view women as objects in media but realistically there is much more to women. Women are forced to have surgeries for beauty but they are already beautiful. People think women can’t lead because they aren't equal but women are equal in every way.

This movie was about the equality of women.  Personally  I thought that this movie supported the equality of women, describing why they are equal to men. It used  irony because in the media they where making girls have beautification surgeries to be on television. Definition of irony: An outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected. Irony is used to get the filmmaker's prospective across because it showed the bad ways women are abused and treated in real life around the USA.

 The point of the filmmaker is that women are mistreated in the media and in most ways are never equal to men and that they should be treated the same and have the same rights.
