I have just watched 'Catfish' on MORE4 and felt compelled to share a few thoughts, sporadically and instantly-no time to think it through!
What a wonderful documentary that has left me somewhat confused and a little worried about that handful of people who have requested to be my friend on facebook; people I don't know.
Food for thought.
However, I reckon this little documentary carries several messages;
1. Know your facebook and know your friends!
2. Watch out for the weird, the crazy and the demented.
3. The CATFISH-we all have them? Someone to keep us on our toes.
While the lady, Angela, seems to be a strange cross between a stalker and Annie Wilkes from Misery.
I don't know whether to feel unsettled, creeped out or oddly intrigued what this strange and lonely woman did.
To construct several personalities, a multiple role-playing game that lasted a little over 9 months.
She didn't want money, she just wanted friendship it seems...should I be touched by her humanity or horrified that she used her daughters (one real and one fictional) to talk to and woo a young photographer.
To sum it up-
I'm confused. Catfish what is that? If I were to sum it up in one word-Thought-provoking.
