7. Truman Show


Great movie, great critisizm what more we can tell about it. Post modern era uncovered a sickness of humankind; voyeurism. Truman, character of this movie is a prisoner in a fake town everthing is provided for a perfect stage and his life is controlled by the producer of The Truman Show. Every relation he has is a part of the show, his job is fake and every action is precisely acted. His only wish is to see Fiji Islands but somehow actors in the show obstruct him. Truman Show can be examined carefuly because all the scenes offer another critisizm over post modern life.

6. Killing us softly


We are all familier with these ideas that women are forced to fit in a shape which media and popular culture decides. In this documentary, Kilbourne criticizes effects on women from a womans perspective. Most of her ideas are true but in a point i disagree with her, as i analize my female friends they are all happy to be like popular idols, they like to read magazines nothing included except of fachion and stupid party photos. Media and popular culture is all about consuption, if they are getting profit out of it why should they use it? Maybe in a point of view women are not so concerned about being a meta object because men are so easily attarcted and women like getting attraction.

5.Winn drugged herself with scandal


She is a dedicted offender of Tv's effects but is she sincere or is she creating these texts for getting benefit from a conservative group? For my opinion she is a fraud, ask me why? She was the first scandalous star of tv shows. In 1958 she attended to a tv quiz show named Dotto, i can sense that you are starting to think that "wasn't she a tv hater?" nope. Marie lost her notebook and the notebook was found by another contestant, all answers to the questions was in the notebook! This scandal ended Dotto and made Marie Winn the first star of a quiz show scandal. Now think again did you really believed what she defended?

4.Plug-in drug


What a conservative point of view! Marie Winn is really a conservative, she is full of anger with to TV. I couldn't understand why? Is all Tv programs harmfull to family life or does it really necessary to avoid tv. In our family watching movies together is a funny activity but it seems Marie Winn doesn't agree with us. I confess that sometimes I use Tv as a drug but who cares it is the easiest way! Whatever Marie Winn says my family will continue to assemble in front of our TV set.
