In the recent class film, Catfish.  We saw how a 40 year old woman. Acted as a whole network of people to deceive a man.  In her experience she acted as her daughter, herself her imaginary daughter and sons. Angela explained at the end how she created the personas because she was unhappy with her life and Ellen of the personas were a part of her former self.Even though I do sympathize with Angela, I do not take pity on the fact she lied to everyone, and cheated not only on her husband,  but her entire family. I would imagine for it to be hurtful for my wife and mother to make up complete lies about me,  my step dad and brothers.  I would imagine her family to be a little ashamed and hurt by What Angela did.  Angela seemed as if she lied a lot and all the time. She even lied about having cancer for absolutely no apparent reason.
I Believe catfish was a wake up call for a lot of people.  The.message wasn't only to tell the truth, but come to terms with all the decisions you make and realize that each one significantly impacts your life. Angela quit dancing because she wanted to.  She made use of her free-will.  I believe that we as people have to take responsibility for our own actions.  Her life style was a hindrance however she knew the terms and conditions of it in the first place.

  1. Honestly, I thought it was kind of sad that Angela had to go to such lengths just to deceive Nev and possibly everyone else. I've always wondered how she allowed herself to get to this state where she had to care for her husband and his sons. If she wanted to live her life the way she wanted to why couldn't she just leave them? Even if she didn't want to leave them I still don't understand why she couldn't try to be a painter. All in all, I feel she could have done things differently.
