In case anyone was wondering, seeing the movie a second time
isn't as fun as it is the first time, but gauging people's reactions to the
movie is pretty fun too.
Anyways, the extremes that people go through when they are
in certain situations are extraordinary.
The situation of our female lead in catfish is so difficult that it is
not surprising that she went to those extremes. Few people realize how
difficult it is and what a mental toll taking care of people with special needs
can be. So is it really that wrong that she tried to escape her daily life by
making a fake Facebook life? In my eyes, there is nothing wrong if you want to
build yourself an alternate life online, on the basis that you do not steal
work or pictures from other people.
The main question though, is when did she cross the line
with her fake profiles? To me, when she began to form an intimate relationship
with the other guy, she crossed the line. This of course was bad because of
multiple things, not just lying, but also because is a cheat. Her lies affected more than just one person. If someone were to create a fake online
scenario for himself or herself, they would need a few rules. One of the most
important would have to be, as I somewhat said earlier, no stealing other
peoples identities. Next would be to try and keep the lies to a minimum. As
long as someone keeps the two lives separate, and no interaction occurs between
them, have fun. A clearer way to put it, means not meeting up with someone in
real life from your fake profile. There are people that do something similar,
and they're called pedophiles. Don't be a pedophile. That is a little extreme,
but you get the point.
Overall, I don't think her actions were that big of a
problem. Her hubby probably wouldn't even care if she cheated on him physically.
It seems like "as long as she is happy," he will be happy.
I just want to give a minute to state how impressive her
actions were, although they were morally wrong, they were impressive nonetheless.
To keep that many profiles active, maintain a constant social status on them
all, and not feel bad enough to stop is really impressive. You go girl. Keep at it.

I can nothing but agree with you. I definitely think that she crossed the line at the point of using other people's photos. But also by creating a relationship with another person. However, I don't think that her "hubby" (as you refer to him as) wouldn't care if she cheated on him. I think there would have to be some very clear signs of her cheating on him, or her confessing to him, but I think if he knew, he would care. But on the other hand, I think that he cares so much for her that he would forgive her right away.
