Men's Men's World
Silitonga12 November 2013
This is would happened when earth only lived by male. I'm male, but I though it's too egoistic at first, vanishing women are completely wrong, but I see meaning beyond that later on. It's called acceptance.

Yeah, it's about acceptance. There is no doubt, we live in world full of prejudice. The director when to tell us, the peace (devotion) can be found when there is no difference that made everything so complicated. The director chose a heavy way by creating an Earth that only lived by man, male.

Male took every job, even job that women used to do. Sex is free because everybody same (doesn't mean to be free sex like today, just the freedom to expose sexuality). And the most important part, everybody live in peace like devotion supposed to mean.

A Vision of Loving Cooperation
kitten-calfee28 January 2013
DEVOTIONS is the vision of a world where men have forsaken rivalry and taken up affection, thereby creating a society that relishes a variety of comradely devotions. The film takes delight in observing the friendly things men can do together, from the odd to the rapturous, from the playful to the passionate. These events appear in a series of cameo duets performed by men of all ages and appetites. The tapestry of changing scenes is strung on a narrative thread: the personal romance of the two makers of the film, as they discover their own affections and interweave them with those of their friends. In the end they assert their hope that loving comradeship may yet be the happy norm for the world. The film was made over a nine month period on locations from Seattle to San Diego, and included the participation of some forty-five couples.
