These Are Those Things

Married To The Eiffel Tower

I’ve been finding it harder and harder to keep up with my blogging. I have been resorting much more to the easy posting of Twitter and Facebook. But sometimes things require more than 140 characters to discuss.

“Married To The Eiffel Tower” is a television doc on Objective Sexuals, individuals who derive physical pleasure from inatimate objects. The two whom the doc primarily focused on go for buildings, bridges, and fences. Also musical instruments and weapons. They share some loves.
I have always been fascinated with film’s power to make us sympathize with those whom we seem to have nothing in common with. In my tweets & facebooking I called the doc “heartbreaking”. It’s also inspiring how much its subjects have shed themselves of any shame. What on the surface is truly bizarre becomes truly human when given a voice.
