This film I thought at first would be something that was not very interesting, though in the end it really did grab my attention. She made a lot of good, and very true points during her film. The impact that advertising has on people is different for everyone, because not every ad will make a person feel the same as another, though it could. For me it depends on what product or what it is that they are trying to sell that has an impact on me. For example: an ad that is directed towards women for some sort of clothing brand that is more expensive than others, such as under armour or north face, is going to make me feel like oh that women is pretty, and she is wearing this brand, maybe if i wear this brand people will think i am pretty. To me this is not what would go through my mind, but it could have gone through many women's minds. I also have noticed, and it was clearly pointed out in the film that women have a much higher standard than the men do. Women are always expected to look or dress, and act a certain way. As for men based on the advertising i have seen, it seems that as long as they have muscle and are not heavy, they are fine, and all brands will look good, they are not expected to act a certain way. Though they may think that in an advertisement with Lebron James or Kobe Bryant that if they by their brands they will look good, and will look good doing whatever they are doing in the pic or commercial. Both of these examples shows what Killborn was saying, that it is ridiculous how the society has such a large difference in what is acceptable for men and what is acceptable for women.
