The greatest fear in our hearts is losing

I forgot where the tears started.
I know I cry because I see myself in lars.
In fact, everyone may see themselves in him.
See the fear and loneliness within yourself.

The movie review I just wrote disappeared with the computer crashing. .
I'll leave out the spoilers then.

I want to say that lars and his inflatable doll girlfriend are indeed in love, at least in lars' mind.
He imagined his "girlfriend" as himself, equally shy, equally helpless, and equally in need of love. He copied his painful experience to his girlfriend. He took good care of her in every possible way. Because he was too afraid to lose her.
In the end his girlfriend "died".
I cried during this part.
Lars was afraid of losing and being lonely, so he found an inflatable doll as his girlfriend. He learned from this special girlfriend how to love, how to be a normal person, and finally learned how to face loss.

My ex passed away some time ago and at the same time I learned that my father was seriously ill.
On the surface, I found that I was terrified deep down.
I too, like lars, fear of losing.

I remembered what God said in "Conversations with God" that I read at that time, that there are only two most rooted emotions in human beings. That is love and fear. All other emotions are derived from this.
Yes.
Afraid of love.
Fear of losing because of love.
We are all the same.

Well, overall this is a healing movie.
From which we can see ourselves and the warmth and beauty of the world
