The media is awful

This evening, I watched Fighting - a movie of questionable utility.

The lead actress was, as is always the case in movies, seemingly perfect in every respect physically. Slim, curvy, attractive and well spoken.

Yet, in the movie, she was earning $11.00 an hour, and supporting her daughter and grandmother. At no point was there any indication that she ate particularly well, worked out or slept enough to remain healthy.

How incredibly beneficial it is to look to mediums of entertainment for reflections on society.

Or not.
