No love, but a movie full of love - analysis of Ruth's heart

How loving if a society can tolerate a mentally ill as in the movie.
There are so many people in the town who are cooperating with him in acting. To be honest, I watched the movie with trepidation, for fear that someone would come to expose his game and tell him that it was just an inflatable doll. Crazy? Hard to say.
His sister-in-law, the reluctant but still cooperative brother, has a crush on his colleague and other aunts in the town. His sister-in-law yelled at him when he was chopping wood. Those people acted with him because they loved him. In our day, how many people would have the time to stop and look at such a weird person. How many people would laugh at him if he pushed a wheelchair down the street? Although it is positioned as a comedy, this hi, I think it must not be because of his doll, but because everyone in the film is happy and loves "hi".

If not, everyone's cooperation, if not for the active guidance of the psychiatrist, if not for the tolerance and acceptance of female colleagues, he will only enter the mental hospital, but with the care and love of these people, the inflatable doll gradually died in his heart Now, this means that because of his birth, the guilt and self-blame brought on by him are gradually recovering, gradually getting in touch with the external environment, and slowly taking down the shield. It is hard to imagine that this is not the result of love. On the other hand, today, how many people become mentally ill, you can hardly say that they have not been stimulated by the environment and gradually deteriorated before entering a mental hospital.

In fact, Russ is also very loving. Without his love for his mother, he would not have turned his love into guilt and self-blame, engaged in closing his inner world, avoiding physical contact, and worrying about causing harm to others. In fact, his heart is very contradictory. He is angry with the baby, obviously because someone is responsible for being so angry at him. He has a self in his heart, and he has a dialogue with the other person who is talking about him in his inner world, venting his emotions and innocence.

With the deepening of treatment and the opening of his heart, when he transfers his feelings to the outside world, his love with the doll will inevitably end. In fact, it is conceivable why he likes the doll so much, because he will not hurt the doll or let her Pregnancy won't kill her. This is trauma caused by childhood experiences. Because the baby is weak, just like him when he was a child, he needs someone to care and love, but he doesn't get the care he deserves, so he transfers his childhood emotions to things. Colleague, another voice is also complaining about the doll's weakness, which is a very contradictory psychology, why is she so weak, why can't she become strong, and why is he (also a symbol of his father) controlled by him. Therefore, the entanglement in the heart turns the doll into a mirror, which directly reflects the dialogue in his own heart. In fact, the doll is just a carrier of emotions. It is like a child playing a house game. She is helping the doll to say what she wants. What he said was actually a dialogue with himself after he closed his heart. When the consultant intervened in the game of Jiajia, it became a drug lead, guiding him to open up to the outside world. And the real medicine is the deep love in this small town.

Hopefully, our society can one day become a small town in the movie, and treat seemingly unacceptable things with a tolerant and accepting mentality.

    Absolutely good film. Ranked together with "last kiss" and "Big Belly" in my heart. Ryan Gosling is bound to get better and better. ★★★★☆

Lars and the Real Girl quotes

  • Dagmar: So, tell me about Karin. I don't know her very well.

    Lars Lindstrom: Oh, she's wonderful. Gus and I are very lucky with women - she's wonderful. But she...

    Dagmar: That's okay, let's find you something to read

    Lars Lindstrom: No, it's just... between us?

    Dagmar: Of course.

    Lars Lindstrom: I'm worried about her. I think she has a little problem.

    Dagmar: Oh, well, maybe you shouldn't tell me.

    Lars Lindstrom: No, that's okay. It's just, and I think it's because she's insecure, it's just, she's just always trying to hug everybody. You know, some people don't like that. Some people don't like to be hugged. But she doesn't realize that. She takes it personally, and, it hurts her feelings. I don't know what to do about that. Do you?

    Dagmar: It's such a comfort sometimes, just to have somebody's arms around you. Don't you think?

    Lars Lindstrom: No.

    Dagmar: It feels good.

    Lars Lindstrom: It does not feel good. It, it hurts.

    Dagmar: Oh, like a cut, or bruise?

    Lars Lindstrom: Like a burn. Like when you go outside and your feet freeze and you come back in and then they thaw out? It's like that. It's almost exactly like that.

    Dagmar: Same with everyone?

    Lars Lindstrom: Uh, not really with Bianca. But everyone else

  • Dagmar: Don't you want to be an uncle?

    Lars Lindstrom: Don't you want to be a mom?

    Dagmar: [pauses, whispers] Yes. But I'm not able to have children of my own.
