Catfish 10AM

We live in a world now where if you have the access you can connect to people all over. I used to be a huge gamer and when I did and played online I would meet different people from all over the country and even outside the United States. With having that access it is easy for people to claim to be someone which they are not. I can easily go online and make new profiles claiming that I am one of my classmates or a celebrity. Will that make it true? No, but it is done. At an alarming rate. In Catfish Nev he had a good relationship with this child who he was buying are from. She was painting great portraits of him and many other things too. She also sent him gifts such as t-shirts from her brother’s band and paper towels. Nev started to really get involved with her family. She had an older sister who was also an artist. She did not paint but made music. She and Nev started to have a romantic relationship online and over the phone. Keep in mind no one from the family has met Nev in person and vice versa. One day she sent Nev a supposedly original song that she recorded that Nev began to become suspicious of. He started digging and found out that she had just stole the song from an artist on YouTube. In fact none of the music was hers. Now it is easy to plagiarized content on the internet. Literally all you have to do is download and claim it as your own. Of course it is illegal and unethical. If you are a college student you risk getting kicked out for academic misconduct. We never got the chance to talk about this film in class but there are some obvious moral issues here. At the resolution of the film Nev meets the family in real life. They are real but not the brothers in the band or Megan his hot singer girlfriend. She is a model from another state that is happily married and has a family. Abbie is real and is just a normal little girl who mother from what it seems like is disappointed in her life. She had multiple Facebook accounts posing as different people, and she also had multiple cell phones.  People may feel sorry for her, but I don’t. She chose what life she wanted and if she isn’t happy then she needs to change it not by living someone else’s but by doing her own thing.
