Miss March = No Good

I found that the movie “Miss March” was a major depiction on what college life is.  I believe the movie to be targeted towards the young high school crowd as well as college students, in order to find the “college humor” amusing.  My personal opinion, I was so surprised with each positive response that was triggered from the audience when hearing the dirty jokes and comments that were said throughout the film.  Especially when it came to comments that degraded women so badly.

 

I however, see the movie as a piece that objectifies women from the beginning to end.  The movie was based on a young man in high school who missed the opportunity to have sex with his girlfriend and she later became a Playboy bunny.  A basic generalization throughout the movie consisted of how women of today should obtain the supermodel body, which only 5% of women in the world actually have.  Every single actress was a size double zero.

 

I also couldn’t help but notice the spoof on rapper’s music videos that was in the film.  The parody had about 10 girls, barely dressed in next to nothing, grinding all over the rapper, while he continued to “bump and grind” singing dirty lyrics that referred to the women as sexual objects rather than human beings.  The audience’s reaction was utter laughter and that’s when I realized how overly welcomed this bad example is to the general society.  When people witness something like this it amounts to today’s normalcy.

 

The media today definitely has an effect on men’s views of women.  When young teenage boys grow up watching movies such as Miss March, thinking this is an ok way to interact with women and be “cool”, how can it not have an effect on their sense of what’s right and what’s wrong?
