Movies and Perfection

In the movies, you will never find an actor such as Brad Pitt extremely overweight or unattractive nor will you find Angelina Jolie sporting red hair.  Ok, what I'm getting at is this.  In the movies, certain actors and actresses are hired based on certain roles they are looking for.  Ana Ferris was hired to play a stereotypical blonde bimbo in the movie House Bunny.  She sports the classic tight little outfits and the bleach blonde hair that give her the look of a Playboy bunny.  Her body in this movie is very petite with very defined abs.  I have no doubt that she wears a water bra in this movie for the extra oomph!  Unlike in the magazines, in the movies editors aren't able to use photoshop to take off a few pounds.  So they are forced to train actors and attresses into there prototype for their perfect role.  Or on the other hand, starve themselves.  With the film industry being so competitive for vital roles to make it big there are males and females out there starving themselves and depriving themselves from basic food that is essential for life.  You would think with the big dollars they make to film even as little as thirty minutes of a film that they could afford a personal trainer that is able to have them eat healthy and workout to achieve their desired look.  For large roles in hit movies, I wonder if females would be willing to get Botox?  Or breast implants?  I hear these days men are getting pectoral implants instead of hitting up the gym for a couple of months.  To me, that's crazy.  If you have enough money to spend on ridiculous things such as boobs, or calf muscles then try to think about someone other than yourself for a minute and try to look at the larger picture.  There are people dying from starvation out there not by choice, not for movies, but from being poor and not being able to afford even the basic necessities for life.  So keeping this in mind, and you look at these people who made it big, how really good-hearted are these men and women?  Sure they look "perfect" physically, but deep down they need to re-evaluate themselves.

  2. I hate to admit that I do compare myself to people in movies! I know its dumb because lots of things are touched up or body doubled or whatever...but I do fantasize about having Megan Fox's body in Transformers LOL. But if my job was just to work out every day and get paid millions, I'd do what I could too.
