only wish you were treated gently by the world. I
don't know how many people have missed this movie because of the translated name. I have to say, "Love of Inflatable Dolls" sounds true It's a bit embarrassing (even recommending it to others after watching it, and you're likely to be laughed at), I don't know why it wasn't more honestly translated as "Lars and the Real Girl" by its original name. But I guarantee it has no bad content, only full of warmth to move you.
The hero of the movie, Russ, is a bit "weird". He clearly has the most gentle eyes, but he is always separated from others.
I'm going to church, there's something to do at the company, my phone is ringing... Lars always has an excuse to refuse his brother Gus to have dinner with his sister-in-law Kaelin. Margot is Rath's new colleague, and she's not afraid to express her affection for Rath, but it makes Rath farther away from her. Another of their colleagues told her: Do you know what the problem is? You push him too
hard... This level of "weirdness" is actually not uncommon to see in life, like all introverted, closed people, but "after six weeks", Lars' behavior has not only is "weird".
Russ gets a call from Kaelin at the company: "They brought you a big wooden box".
Going home that night, Russ changed his clothes in front of the mirror. He combed his hair carefully, and kept encouraging himself. Then, for the first time, he took the initiative to find Gus and Kaelin: I have a visitor, we are in Met online, she doesn't speak much English, and she's in a wheelchair, I don't want to embarrass her, I want you guys to do a big favor... Since we're both single young people, it's not appropriate for us to be in the same room ..."
"We'll put her in the pink room! "Kelyn and Gus happily tidy up the room and get dinner ready, but when the scene changes they're both there - Russ' visitor is a blow-up doll.
He introduced her to them: "Bianca (the name of the inflatable doll), she is from the church." He glanced at "her" and immediately corrected it to: "Once a member of the church, I'm sorry... She was owned by a nun. Raised up, now on her annual leave, traveling around the world, isn't it good?"
He looked at her as he spoke, as if asking for her opinion; he explained her silence: "She's shy"; "Why? Like?" He asked her with a smile, and then said to himself, "I know"...
Gus and Kaelin left the living room under the pretext of preparing dinner, and they were at a loss when faced with such a change:
"He's crazy!"
" Shhh!"
"What should we do?"
"We don't know what to do, but we have to calm down and we'll fix this."
"All we can do is get along with him", on the advice of a psychiatrist, Grid S and Kaelin decided to accept the reality, they explained the situation to the people around them, hoping they could understand and cooperate, and the town residents responded: "What's the big deal, XX's nephew spends all his money on the UFO club. , XX's first wife has a kleptomania... There are always these things."
Since then, the inflatable doll Bianca has officially become a member of the town, people are a little embarrassed at first, and then they are enthusiastic and enthusiastic with her" Communicate", they laid flowers for her, wished her a speedy recovery, talked to her, danced...
out of love for Russ, of course.
Russ suffers from paranoia, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, and in contact with Bianca, Russ, Gus, Kaelin, and even everyone in the town, are rediscovering themselves. Kaelin said, "We always take care of ourselves." Gus regretted his lack of concern for Lass, while Lass saw the lives of others, and learned more about the protection and love that everyone had for him.
It's hard to guess the extent of Russ's paranoia. I prefer to believe that Russ maintains a minimum level of sobriety. For example, before taking Bianca to the party, he slightly hesitated and frowned. Such hesitation is after the film. Halfway up, even on the way home from the party with Bianca, Russ cried, although he said "I'm just happy, that's all".
I think even if he does suffer from delusional disorder, there are many things he has always known. It is because of that part of the "informed Russ" that he can receive the love of others and accumulate the courage to give up the illusion and return to reality, right?
Through Russ' conversation with the psychiatrist, through his description of Bianca, we gradually understand the problem: "When she was a baby, her mother died in childbirth, and when she was born..." The
mother gave birth to him He died in childbirth, and his sad father pulled him to grow up. This is actually his own story. What he gave Bianca was actually his own reflection. The love he gave him was actually what he hoped others could give him.
But for the fact that cannot be changed, what Russ needs more is to learn how to accept "late love".
He told the psychiatrist about Kaelin: "She always likes to hug people, you know, some people don't like that, they don't like being hugged, but she doesn't realize it, she thinks it's normal, but... know Well, doing this will hurt her, I don't know what to do? What do you think?"
After seeing this, I finally realized that the problem of Lars was actually a problem of "how". For Russ, even the most mundane touch like a hug bothers him.
We don't feel "pain" just because we are touched by others, but we are often troubled by the kindness of others, and our kindness will inevitably become the distress of others.
We may never know how difficult it is for others to appear natural to us. This is actually a matter of method, so what you think is right will often push the people around you further. Because that might be "right", but it's not what he wants and what suits him.
And you have this feeling too, many times what we want is actually not right, what we want is "empathy", what we want is that kind of concern, it has nothing to do with right or wrong, only about me.
As long as there is no damage to the principle, why give such love? Really give tolerance and patience, not the "kidnapping" of love. Like the psychiatrist in the film, who can say ""Let's be here today" instead of chasing after victory.
We will inevitably encounter such people, and there will inevitably be times like this, and at that time, my dear, I hope you Good luck like Russ and get the kindest treatment in the world.
At the end of the film, Russ asks Gus, "How do you know you're a man?"
"Your mind may be a child, but when you make the right choices, you grow up. The choices are not for you. Well, it's for everyone's sake, even if this choice will hurt some people. For example, you won't be embarrassing for the people around you, you won't cheat on your loved one, take care of your family, have the courage to admit your mistakes, at least try to do it... ...sounds simple, but for some reason it's not."
"Of course, nothing is simple," Ruth said.
Of course you can guess Russ' final choice, but what made him go through making that choice? After all the contacts, how do other people see Bianca?
At the end of "Love of Inflatable Dolls", there are surprises and tears. If you have a quiet time, you might as well make a pot of hot tea and watch it.
