    Solitude meets loneliness

    "Paper Man" is a slightly dull story, and perhaps only a dull story can better tell loneliness. Fortunately, under these noisy and restless urban faces, there are always many lonely people.

    Childhood crematorium

    The first time the feeling is not so obvious, the second time you can feel more clearly that Richard is really a simple and innocent person in life, such as the dog at the beginning and the conch later (it’s too cute to squeeze your eyes when waiting for a gift) )...And his wife was talking to him,...

    Very boring, but when Emma Stone dived into the sea, I was still moved.

    Comrades who don’t understand, please get the answer in the narration at the end of the movie. I am so lonely, I just want to find a shadow to be with me. It's time to say goodbye, lets back to the track.

Paper Man quotes

  • Richard Dunn: It's time for you to go.

    Captain Excellent: No.

    Richard Dunn: You know what I'm saying, Captain. I mean go and never come back.

    Captain Excellent: I'm not ready.

    Richard Dunn: It doesn't matter! You can't help me anymore. The doctor's right.

    Captain Excellent: But... Then you'll be all alone.

    Richard Dunn: Yes. The last of my kind.

    [There is a silence between them]

    Richard Dunn: Okay. Do the voice... one last time. Please...

  • [Abby is reading Richard's last letter]

    Richard Dunn: Richard regarded his solitude as something sacred as a well earned badge of honor, a cloak to be worn to ward off life. As his safety. Solitude is who he was. This caused those in his life to view him with a barely veiled contempt. Richard was certain that he was not liked, which is hard on a man. *Maybe* it was because he gave nothing that he received nothing in return. In any case, his situation had become intolerable. The closest things he had to friends were either imaginary or extinct. And Richard had reached a point in his life where this was no longer enough. And then he met a girl... And she was warm. And she was sad. And she was maybe lonely in a way that reminded him of himself. She'd lost things that a girl should never have lost. And she knew things. And she taught him. And Richard thought: "Maybe this is what friendship feels like. Maybe." It was just a glimpse, they'd barely begun, really. But in those long, few winter days, she'd given him so much. Enough so that Richard could go on. And what had he given her? Just a few words on a page. Not much, perhaps. But for Abby, he hoped it was enough.
