Another Perfect World. Dir. Femke Wolting & Jorien van Nes. Submarine Productions, 2009



The best word to describe Second Life would be strange, but this is because second life is uncharted to me. Second life seems like an alien world, and I do not understand its customs. What joy does someone get from having virtual sex in a swing that is attached to a dragon statue? Irrelevant to any point. I can understand someone being able to play out their fantasies and build a utopia for themselves that they could not do elsewhere -- but I do fear there could be some room for addiction with second life; escaping into the fantasies of a word, almost similar to what drug addicts do. Drug addicts escape the realities of life, the hardships, the problems. I am not putting down second life, I believe as in moderation anything is okay, but to immense you in a virtual world 12 hours a day just seems a little too much to me.
