      Ways to fight loneliness

      In movies, especially good ones, "loneliness" is a background that appears frequently. And love is always the way to fight loneliness. Regardless of the happy ending of each protagonist in a love story, it is inevitable to meet and accompany. In addition to traditional love, such as "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", the little girl beside the protagonist also completes the story.

      And what exactly is love? Who is the object of love, and what kind of love is it?

      In "her", the...

      Love is all that matters.

      The Chinese translation of "Love of Inflatable Dolls" is easy to misunderstand that this drama is a second-rate comedy full of rotten gag. However, the fact is that, as the play said, many people have, to varying degrees, the practice of projecting their emotions like the protagonist on external objects. The external objects may be plush dolls, model toys, or the protagonist in the play. Lars named Bianca's inflatable doll.

      Bianca's appearance to "death" shows Lars' emotional changes,...

      Who is crazy?

      Healing. After being cured, the people in the town are very warm.
      This movie reminds me of the story "Mad, Rooster and Man", using this state that I am more mad than you to heal a mad man, but who can say who is mad? You think a man who thinks he is a cock is a madman, and you think a man who thinks a bouncy doll is real is a maniac, so why do you think you think you are a man or a maniac?
      So, I don't think Lars is crazy. He was just too insecure, his mother had a difficult labor...

      Mad mentally retarded

      It was such a boring movie that I silently shouted "Made mentally retarded" in my heart, but actually watched it patiently! ! It cannot be said that there is no depth, at least it is still a "pure love story". I just think it's not as good as the Japanese erotic forbidden inflatable doll, at least the heroine is beautiful! In this movie, Ahn'Qiraj is still in a wheelchair, and still has the expression of a black widow on his face.

      However, I think the male lead's skills are also...

      just a fairy tale

      It's just a fairy tale.
      The truth is this.
      Lars is 27 years old and a small company employee. He lives alone in a garage converted into a house. His brother and his wife live in a big house. Usually, they just say hello in the morning or evening, or they don't need to say hello.
      Lars' mother died, and his father's temperament changed greatly because of the death of his wife. His brother couldn't bear such a family and fled.
      Lars has always been alone. He tries to avoid...

      If Lars died with him in the end, it would be a miracle. Unfortunately, he was born in Hollywood. In fact, the story can have more room for expansion and implication, but the screenwriter is already very good. The reaction of everyone in the whole town and The details of getting along with Lars are extremely subtle, and how much malice I have for Commander Gao to watch this and "Only God Can Forgive", haha, if anyone tells me about Commander Gao in the future handsome, want to give it to...

      We are all such lonely individuals, fighting the world in our own way. I am particularly moved by the wonderful residents in this small town. They embraced all the weirdness with love and gave lars the possibility to start life...

    Movie plot

    Russ (played by Ryan Gosling) is a man of simple character and few words. The overly introverted character makes Lars hardly any friends. He usually only interacts with his family, and no one has visited him in the past few years. In fact, in his heart, Lars is also eager to communicate with others, but the years of loneliness has made him forget how to communicate with others, and the people around him have slowly become accustomed to...

    Creative background

    Screenwriter Nancy Oliver said that while wandering the Internet, he accidentally discovered a company that specializes in artificial inflatable dolls. Those bizarre dolls have been lingering in Nancy's mind, and she is determined to create a script about a beautiful and weird life story, not a script with erotic humor.
    When producer John Cameron first picked up the script, his attitude was indifferent, but as his eyes jumped between...

    Movie quotes

    • Lars Lindstrom: [to Bianca, after she is given flowers] Those are nice, huh? And they're not real, so they'll last forever.

    • Gus: Pretend that she's real? I'm just not gonna do it.

      Dagmar: She is real.

      Gus: Well...

      Dagmar: She's right out there.

      Gus: Right, right, I get that, but I'm just not gonna, you know...

      Dagmar: You won't be able to change his mind, anyway. Bianca's in town for a reason.

      Gus: But - but...

      Dagmar: It's not really a choice.

      Karin: Okay. Okay, all right, we'll do it, whatever it takes.

      Gus: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And everyone's gonna laugh at him.

      Dagmar: And you.

    • Lars Lindstrom: You don't care.

      Karin: We don't care? We do care!

      Lars Lindstrom: No you don't.

      Karin: That is just not true! God! Every person in this town bends over backward to make Bianca feel at home. Why do you think she has so many places to go and so much to do? Huh? Huh? Because of you! Because - all these people - love you! We push her wheelchair. We drive her to work. We drive her home. We wash her. We dress her. We get her up, and put her to bed. We carry her. And she is not petite, Lars. Bianca is a big, big girl! None of this is easy - for any of us - but we do it... Oh! We do it for you! So don't you dare tell me how we don't care.
