Gisela Smania

Abstract

The film Ben X (Nic Balthazar, 2007) approaches us to the autism’s problematic and to the virtual space as a new bond scene. One of the possible lectures about the film let us wonder about the possibilities that a video game can provides to hook up to the Other and which particular use can it has.
This article analyzes the movie taking as main idea the pairing reality-fiction, and from that point on, the question about the statute of the truth. On the other hand, put on the spotlight the ethical problem about how to place the singular dimension of subjective suffering.

Key words: Reality | Fiction | Truth
