Guys and Dolls
Being that I write all the time about the difference between fantasy and reality and the importance of knowing the difference, I found this documentary Guys and Dolls absolutely fascinating.
It’s about men who have relationships with life-like female dolls that include emotional attachment and sex. Also of interest are the people who design, make and repair the dolls.
Everyone in the film is smart, emotionally literate, articulate and vulnerable. Everyone knows the dolls are fantasy, but it’s a fantasy that seems to bring these men closer to the reality of who they are, something they haven’t found with real human companions.
It made me think of all the human relationships between real people that are really based on fantasy, far more delusional than the relationships these men have with their dolls.
It’s a really brilliant documentary.
I’d love to hear your impressions.
47 minutes. (Warning: doll nudity. NWS)
