Friday Flick: Real Beauty

24Jun 201125 Jun 2011

Even if you’ve seen this classic commercial, it’s a great reminder that what we see in certain environments bears no resemblance to reality.

It’s also a reminder that some revisions go too far.

I tried to watch it but it says ‘unavailable’.

Congrats on being noticed by WP.

    It still won’t let me. Perhaps because it’s not in the UK? That happens sometimes.

    It’s the Dove Evolution commercial. I used the director’s posting of it, but you can probably access a version somehow.

Sometimes people forget that true beauty lies in the heart of each individual . Even the most physically appealing persons when they don’t feel good about themselves reflects a not so attractive attribute. I think the media has gone overboard and placed a unrealistic expectation on women. Honestly, would anyone find a skin and bones model attractive? In my real world, medically it’s called malnutrition. Women by God’s creation is already beautiful. We should create our own definition of beauty and not what the media says, after all, that’s why we have a brain , so we can think and decide for ourselves. Great post.

I watched this in a sociology class a few years ago…it really is phenomenal and I’m happy that all the behind-the-scences stuff has been exposed a bit.
