This film directly relates to the readings because the readings were about hip hop music videos and the messages that are constantly presented through the lyrics and visual images. There was also a reading called, “Female Chauvinist Pigs,” which is about how women are chauvinist pigs in that they engage in the acts of sexualizing women. To have these over sexualized images, you are going to need willing participants and women are constantly playing these roles hoping to get their 15 seconds of fame. I watched this show about video vixens and one girl even gave mention to willing to do whatever is necessary for the camera to be focused on her. The girls do more and more and go further and further to gain the attention of the camera. Some girls in the video gain fame, but the amount of girls who do not is far greater than that of those who do.
I did enjoy watching this film because it brought about new ways of thinking about music videos. I constantly hear from my aunt, “Stop watching those videos! They’re bad for you!” I would say why and she could never give me concrete examples and would only say things about implicit messages and how they change our thinking. I will most likely still watch music videos, but the awareness of what you are watching stops those influences. This video made me look at music videos differently and listen more carefully to what I am singing along with. I know that these music videos are not reality, but it makes you wonder how others may view them. Art is supposed to imitate life, not the other way around.
