Through interviews, animations and videos the subject shot of herself in real-time as she uncovered this mystery, the filmmakers home in on the emotional upheavals of such a discovery, but never quite dig deep into the gendered reasons why this type of sexualization could hurt someone. For a film about such a critical issue \u2014 and there\u2019s no doubt it is one \u2014 I was surprised to find myself turned off its inherently prudish pearl-clutching.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    That being said, there\u2019s a great twist early on and I\u2019m going to spoil it for you in a few paragraphs, so stop here if you don\u2019t want to know what makes <em>Another Body<\/em> stand out from your typical moral-panic documentary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The film opens on Taylor Klein, a young engineering student. Actually, the film opens on Taylor\u2019s childhood videos, a tactic to drive home how horrible it is that this innocent little child will eventually be violated by something as insidious as identity theft for porn (maybe the cinematic equivalent of a male public figure talking about how he has <em>daughters<\/em> and that\u2019s why he stands up for women\u2019s rights). Taylor waxes rhapsodic about her love of math and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> and how she comes from a family of engineers, which influenced her to pursue the field. \u201cLike, I was like stressing out about getting into college when I was 12.\u201d This is, of course, how we know she\u2019s very serious and career-oriented and not the utterly dreadful type to ever flaunt herself for public consumption. Taylor constantly apologizes for using language like \u201cfuck\u201d \u2014 as though she needs to publicly distinguish herself from the crude women who do regularly swear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Through dramatic recreations of instant message chats, we see an acquaintance alert Taylor to the fact that her face (on someone else\u2019s body) has been plastered all over Pornhub \u2014 along with her real name, real college location and her supposed desire to meet up with Internet randos. Taylor had noticed something weird was going on weeks before, as strangers had started messaging her on Instagram with provocative come-ons. Naturally, she\u2019s shocked and humiliated when she sees herself essentially doxxed in a way that could invite predators to come seek her, terrified that someone could just show up at her dorm room to assault her. She is also concerned this could ruin her chances of getting a good job after she graduates, which the filmmakers never dive into.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Due to esoteric legal entanglements, there\u2019s not much police can or will do for her because her perpetrator and the hosting websites have not exactly broken any current law. She\u2019s frightened and alone, knowing that if she tells her friends or makes any sort of public fuss, it will only draw more viewers to the deepfakes. She eventually hears through the grapevine that this has also h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened to another classmate, Julia, and the two young women team up to figure out who among their mutuals would have the technical skills and motivation to hurt them. Their journey takes them to exactly where you might suspect if you\u2019ve at all been paying attention to popular culture in the last 10 years, but that doesn\u2019t make it a dull one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Less than a quarter of the way through the hour-and-twenty-minute film, Taylor\u2019s face suddenly mutates, her features transforming multiple times over into different young women as she explains, \u201cSo, my name isn\u2019t really Taylor and C-Tech isn\u2019t a real college. All of this footage is of me but the face you\u2019re watching right now isn\u2019t actually my face, it\u2019s an actor\u2019s face deepfaked over mine.\u201d Readers, my jaw dropped.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Staying anonymous is the only way she feels safe to tell her story, and this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> the filmmakers play by at first tricking the audience and then having us constantly evaluate the images we see thereafter is a brilliant device to drive home the crisis deepfake technology has wrought. Because aside from observing a couple of weird glitchy angles, there\u2019s no way I would have been able to tell \u201cTaylor\u201d wasn\u2019t Taylor at all. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    At the same time, the gimmick almost backfires, because at one point I did <em>briefly<\/em> question if this story was real at all. (I don\u2019t actually doubt it\u2019s real, but it did, uh, cross my mind that it could be a <em>Go Ask Alice<\/em>-type of fictionalized rallying cry. I wouldn\u2019t have thought that at all if the directors hadn\u2019t proved how easily they could deceive me with deepfake artistry.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>Another Body<\/em> works best as\u00a0a\u00a0detective story and falters as\u00a0a\u00a0sociological study. The film refuses to separate sexuality from nonconsensual sexualization, so it creates a false narrative that Taylor and Julia must be pure and desexualized subjects for us to feel sympathy for them. We watch as they search on a porn site as part of their investigation, performatively decrying even being in this digital space at all, as though afraid we\u2019ll judge them for it. We know nothing about their background or their values, so they become the virtuous \u201ceverywomen\u201d the film needs them to be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    At one point, Taylor opens up about her obsessive-compulsive disorder and why that has turned her into a \u201cpeople pleaser.\u201d I wanted to know whom exactly she worries she\u2019s\u00a0not\u00a0pleasing by being the victim of such a violation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
