After watching "Love of Inflatable Dolls"

By the lake, when Lars was about to say goodbye to his beloved doll, he kissed it affectionately, and I was moved. This kiss is a pair of expensive silicone products whose purpose is to meet the physiological needs of men who are likely to have social barriers or special hobbies. What this kiss is about is his life in a specific period of time. This period of Lars was either paranoia or a period when he found the most suitable outlet. When he kissed the doll, the director told everyone that Lars was ready for the end.
Many people will be in poor condition and low mood for a period of time, and those who are swinging at the bottom of the curve of life will not go up. The ability to resist blows is of course something a healthy person should have, but it's not like you always get hit and you don't like it. After a long time, those who were hit did not know how to resist. Allow yourself to be distracted. Then completely lost the ability to change the status quo, lost the ability to love. Depression, depression, paranoia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, paranoia, schizophrenia, hysteria... Some philosophers say that the world in the eyes of the mentally ill is the real world, the essential world. These are off-topic and are not listed. In this world, every one of us agrees with the goddamn mainstream values. It is abnormal to call very few people heretics. So if we encounter the bottom of life, we have to climb up. Climb to the upward curve or peak of life, avoid staying at the bottom of life for too long and even change your basic concepts.
Lars in the movie is such a loser. His mother died in childbirth when he gave birth to him, and his father became depressed-depressed-depressed-withdrawn from that time. In the movie, his father does not allow anyone to approach him. And Lars' brother, left home at this time to start his own world. In his brother's words, he ran away from home, feeling scared. That leaves Lars. From infancy, Dad, who was supposed to be the authority in the world, didn't allow anyone to approach. Mom passed away. Lars may have never been loved. This is the impact parents have on the next generation: they shape their values, worldview, outlook on life. Even if it is not consciously taught, it will have a subtle influence. So naturally, Lars also partially inherited his father's character. (Lars said, "He doesn't allow anyone to approach, I'm different.)
Different characters are different worlds.
He also wants what everyone wants. He is also in the world where everyone is. So what he needs is an exit. A different exit.
What impresses me most is the warmth in the community. An old woman was driving with an inflatable doll to an event and argued with Lars seriously. Everyone gave so much for Lars.
Very loving.
