This is a movie about love and growing up.
Lars is a lonely man who doesn't like to socialize and cannot tolerate physical contact. There's a girl in the office, Margo, who likes Lars. Maybe Lars didn't notice, but it was more like he was actively ignoring Margo and he never responded. One day a colleague and Lars were talking about inflatable dolls, saying that they looked like real people and could be made to your liking. This touched Lars, who ordered a black-haired blow-up doll - Bianca.
Lars didn't use the inflatable doll as usual, but made her his girlfriend. They chat, eat together, and don't even sleep in the same room. Lars' brother and sister-in-law had a hard time accepting this fact, and they took Lars to see a psychiatrist, who concluded that it was paranoia. Doctors advised them to treat Bianca as a real person, as Lars did, to assist in Lars's treatment.
The people in the small town knew, some doubted, some laughed. But this is a small town and people know each other. People love Lars, this kind and gentle lad. They started accepting Bianca, dressing her up, volunteering her at the hospital, inviting her to receptions. Lars and Bianca are also living happily.
Until one day, Lars saw Margo chatting and laughing with another man on a date, and he started to get restless. He started arguing with Bianca. He declares that he proposes to Bianca, and Bianca refuses. A few days later, in the company's break room, Margo was crying, and Lars went to comfort her, knowing that she had broken up with the man. Lars began to behave strangely. He found Bianca in a coma a few days later and died shortly after. Everyone in the small town attended Bianca's funeral. At the end of the funeral, Lars asks Margo to walk with him...
it's a movie about love and growing up.
How Bianca has influenced all people and the attitude towards growing up all people.
Out of love for Lars, people accepted Bianca. And in the days to come, they really regarded Bianca as a member of the small town. In Bianca, the innocent side of people is reflected. The small town is like an ideal big family, people unite and love each other. At Bianca's funeral, people miss the days when they had her.
In the scene where the theme was revealed, Lars asked his brother: How do I know that I grew up as a man because of sex? Brother said: It seems to be related to sex, I can't tell. You are still a child at heart, but you decide to do the right thing. That's how all people should be, though, and it could hurt you. For example, you don't make trouble for others, you don't cheat, you take care of your family, you learn to admit mistakes... It sounds simple, but it's not. He then apologizes to Lars for his selfishness, for leaving Lars alone with his grief-stricken father in order to escape his oppressive circumstances. Because of these, Lars is lonely and autistic. Lars smiled and said it didn't matter. I believe that at this moment, Lars is a little relieved.
Lars believes that growing up is scary. Watching his father's pain in the adult world since childhood may be the reason why he doesn't want to grow up. He could have lived with Bianca forever, a choice that wouldn't hurt. But Margo's presence broke Lars' balance. Lars likes Margo, he wants to be with Margo, and he doesn't want to betray Bianca. So there was only one option left, and he wanted Bianca to die. He was able to keep in his heart the beauty of being with Bianca and start a new life. Lars is happy, he once had a perfect love with Bianca, albeit only in his delusions.
Bianca is not pitiful either, as a blow-up doll, she fulfills her mission of turning Lars into a man. Her life was honored, the people of the small town will always remember her, and Lars will always remember her.
Growth is scary, more responsibility, more mission, more pain, more disappointment, more helplessness. It's not a smooth road, and we never know where it ends. But it's the way everyone has to go, a one-way street. From the moment our bare white and tender feet stepped on it, the naked and pure piece of our heart was dying. When we are busy clearing obstacles on the road, busy jumping over ditches and wading rivers, can we still notice the small piece of heart that is dying? Bianca reminded the people of the small town, reminded us. Take a look at how necrotic it is and decide if you need to do something about it. People accept Bianca not just out of love for Lars, but because Bianca showed them that little piece of heart and made it come alive.
Before Bianca died, by the lake, Lars kissed her, hugged her, and cried. He was crying for Bianca, for the love that passed away, for the little boy in his heart, for his bare white and tender feet on the road, for the time that will be forever and ever. Maybe we should cry with him. Because there's really nothing we can do but cry.
