Film and Discussion, Free Guy and Being Real

 Keys and Millie, video game creators, who realize that Antwan, the leader of the Soonami company stole their code to make the Free City game have come to realize that Guy, the blue shirt guy, is in fact a form of Artificial Intelligence and is not a person playing a character in the game.  This shocks Millie especially as she is starting to fall in love with guy, and she allows her avatar to kiss him.  

The problem is Antwan plans to start Free City 2 in 48 hours, and he will delete Free City 1, which would end Guy and his world.  So, Millie reveals the truth to Guy that he is a video game character and not a real person.  

Guy is so depressed because he feels nothing matters anymore since he and his world are not real.  But, his friend Buddy tries to convince him that even if they aren't real, this moment between them is in fact real.  So, now Guy will try to help Millie.  

Questions for discussion:

*Could you imagine falling in love with a video game character the way Millie was starting to fall in love with Guy?

*How would you react if a video game character in a game you played started to think it was real.  How would you deal with this character?

*How would you feel if someone told you you are not real and that the world around you is imagined?
