Doll face is about a woman who was at first lifeless, but when she started seeing the television, she become curious and amazed at the same time. Being amazed by the 
 “beauty” that she sees, she tried to copy it. As time passed by, improvements came and the gap between her and the media grew, but still she copies it to fill these gaps and be closer to the media. She forced herself to go beyond her capabilities and limits in order to consider herself as a beautiful. She probably made what she sees on the television as a base to what the definition of what beauty is.
            The Doll Face video has a very powerful message, especially that through the years media has taken over our minds that sometimes it limits us on thinking outside the box. It would be easier for us to believe what the media is telling us rather than opposing to what the majority believes in. Sometimes, opposing others’ beliefs might make you look bad. They won't even listen to you. You don’t know if they really understand what is happening or they're just one of those people who just go with the flow and listen to what the media is feeding them.
             As an effect to what we see and hear daily, we began to imitate the media thinking that if we will be like them we will become better. We we’ll be more accepted by the society as long as we become part of the trend. Media is pushing us to be all the same that sometimes, and when we like a person we forget to be ourselves. We keep on pushing ourselves to do things that are beyond our limit like buying clothes that are too expensive, wearing make-up that itches our skin or even changing our skin color. We forget that not everything we see should be imitated. We forget to establish our own self and identities because we depend on what we see. We were blinded by the beauty we see outside.
It is like this, when a child watches a violent show, we wouldn't want them to copy it, but rather learn that they should not be doing that. It is sad on how after all of the changes that have been done, we still continue to ask for more. We were never really contented and continue to copy others, so that we didn't even think about what if I continue to be me? Will I become happier than I am now?
