Doll Face is an experimental video piece by Andy Huang which represents the self destruction of someone trying to follow and live up to the media's portrayal of beauty. Its very heavily concepted in relation to how the media sees and displays how beauty should be. The film starts off showing us a robot slowing coming out of its box, we then see a TV displaying the face of a women who gradually goes through the film, enhances her make up more and more. The robot follows this and tries to be exactly the same as what it is saying. Slowly, you can see that her obsession with becoming like the girl in the TV is her downfall because towards the end of the film, she reaches her maxium peak and just breaks down and collapses. This is showing that she didn't want to be her own person but to be someone she isn't because the TV is telling her how she should be. Doll Face shows to me that today, there is a lot of lost identities in relation to being who you want to be instead of following the crowd.
