Vintage science-fiction movie posters portray a very interesting tension between robots and women. It reminds me the most of a relation between the gigantic ape and a woman in "King-Kong". When I was a child I was very confused with the affection between the two characters. King-Kong was clearly in love with the woman. Though he was an animal, his love was pure and in a way "human". The beautiful girl was first horrified, but later also charmed with the monster. When I was very little I thought it was very beautiful, but I didn't understand how it would be possible for the sky-scraper-size ape and relatively tiny woman, who actually looked like a doll, to make love and... well.. have children? Little girls think of the world in a very simple way. I feel the same confusion in terms of robots vs women. I guess both of the fantasies - the animal and technology fantasy - represent a very similar psychological aspect of a humankind and our modern and popular culture.
