Janet was trying so hard to be normal and pretty, not realising she already was. If everyone were pretty and looked the same it would be bad because you could not be yourself. I don’t think the world would be better if everyone were pretty because this sort of surgery is dangerous to your identity. Citizens all fear what they don’t understand. Citizens conform uniform expectations, looking the same, like monsters. Everyone in the video worships the leader because they believe him. In the video it says “One leader, one voice one world.” The dictator uses propaganda into manipulating everyone into thinking that humans are monsters. I think this is Philosophical/religious dystopian control because in this world the society is controlled by one ideology and is enforced through a dictatorship. They think it is a perfect imagined universe because they isolate everyone else. This video connects to dystopia because it is the illusion of a perfect society that looks happy, peaceful, and fair, but in reality it has bad politics, laws, and customs. She lives in a world where ugliness is a crime. She was born this way it’s not her fault, she has been alienated by society trapped in her bandages, not able to escape. Janet just wanted to be pretty, and to fit in, she didn’t ask for this, she just wanted to be like everyone else. They then force her to go to a man just like her, human, who escorts her to others with her same condition. We then see her face, her face is a normal human being, while the doctors, and nurses are all ugly. If the procedure does not work they will have to send her to the “others with similar conditions.” When they take her bandages off we learn that the the procedure failed with the doctors and nurses shrieking over the ugly face. It is her 11th surgery, and there has been no progress. She is trying to change her face to look pretty. In class we watched the video Twilight Zone “The Eye of The Beholder.” It is about a girl named Janet Tyler who is at the hospital, her face wrapped in bandages.
