What does the film say about the effect of the internet and how we create identity and relationships online?
After watching Catfish, which is a film about this man who is being filmed by two filmmakers as he becomes involved in a relationship with a woman online, I feel that you cannot trust anyone online and people sometimes might not be who we think they are.
In the documentary you see the man build a relationship with a young woman on the social networking site Facebook. Before he meets this woman online he meets numerous other members of this young woman’s family – all online on Facebook. This man is lead into believing that all these family members are real although he doesn’t know or realise that it is one woman controlling all accounts.
This films shows that the internet can exploit the genuine users of the web and online social networking sites. This film also acts as a healthy reminder that we live in a digital age and that we can make all the digital contact with a person that we want but it doesn’t trump having personal face-to-face relationships.
The man featured in the film was made to look a fool – even he admitted it. He believed that he was actually speaking to the people who appeared in the pictures on their Facebook pages and had their own lives with their own views and opinions and hobbies.
He developed a romantic relationship with one ‘woman’ who he thought was a pretty young model who was a singer and a dancer who was the daughter of Angela – but in the end it was the woman who acted as their mother who was controlling all accounts that Nev communicated with. Nev and the so called ‘Megan’ communicate via text message, online chat and through phone calls, yet all Nev knows about ‘Megan’ is what he’s gathered from her Facebook profile page. It seems as though he is in love with an online profile and not an actual person. This shows that people can easily be someone who they aren’t. People can create an account with a totally different identity to who they are. They can put a picture up of anyone they can find online and people will believe it is them – I think this is because of the digital age we live in and people don’t take into account the risks they take when they are online and what they can get into when communicating with a stranger over the net.
Overall I feel the films theme, the influence and strong foothold of the Internet, is apparent throughout although we do not realise this until towards the end when all is revealed. This film, through an online bond, shows how today digital age society shifts away from human interaction into an age of artificial relationships based on unstable foundations and naivety.

the article then goes on to talk about how he had suffered depression and thought of suicide
before, along with fragments of a eulogy. it is very basic and doesn't shed much light on the
situation.
another article from fox talks about how he had money problems:
'David Carradine was found hanging in his Bangkok Hotel room on Wednesday. With his death still
under investigation, a source close to Carradine told Tarts that the actor had been struggling with
financial concerns but did not think the 72-year-old actor would have ever even considered taking his
own life.

under investigation, a source close to Carradine told Tarts that the actor had been struggling with

The source says Carradine desperately reached out to some friends in the business that he hadn’t been
in contact with for quite some time just weeks ago, asking them to do whatever they could to help him
boost the bank balance.

'Last Friday, police said the actor may have died from accidental suffocation or heart failure after
revealing that he was found with a rope tied around his neck and penis — leading to speculation that
Carradine may have engaged in a dangerous form of sex play known as auto-erotic asphyxiation.

other articles from other big news station pretty much say the same thing, in the case of CBS, CNN and many others, say the exact same eulogy as fox.
The fact this has happened suggests that the greater news stations all have no intentions of saying anything different other than what is acceptable, to say anything other than carridine was a good actor, a lovely person with a strong film career would be catastrophic, they do it out of respect for his loved ones. it can be quite biased as it normally never reveals anything about a person.
The dominance of a few global news stations can be bad because individually, they'd never reveal any new information confidently, normally only reporting something with another news station, were they to report something different, whether true or false, people would be unsure of it if it wasn't seen anywhere else. this has been due to many years of news stations posting their own opinions as news.
Pornthip Rojanasunand, director of Thailand's Central Institute of Forensic Science, said the
circumstances under which Carradine died suggest the 72-year-old actor may have indeed been
performing auto-erotic asphyxiation. The practice involves temporarily cutting off the supply of oxygen to
the brain to heighten the effects of a sexual climax.
