Love is all that matters.

The Chinese translation of "Love of Inflatable Dolls" is easy to misunderstand that this drama is a second-rate comedy full of rotten gag. However, the fact is that, as the play said, many people have, to varying degrees, the practice of projecting their emotions like the protagonist on external objects. The external objects may be plush dolls, model toys, or the protagonist in the play. Lars named Bianca's inflatable doll.

Bianca's appearance to "death" shows Lars' emotional changes, and this psychological journey is rooted in his family's influence on him.

I also have a similar cast. The plush doll that I grew up with has changed from a "doll" to a "girl" with flesh, thoughts and feelings in my opinion. Of course, I understand that they are (unfortunately) lifeless. Still, I can't help but wonder if something happened to me during my childhood that left me subconsciously with regrets that I couldn't perceive.

What moved me to tears was the fact that the surrounding residents, from their initial incomprehension, were truly saddened by Bianca's "death". Out of love for Lars, each villager tolerated him and accompanied him through this struggle. This seems to be just a fairy tale, an exaggeration that can't exist in real life, but I choose to believe that the unchanging truth of the world - love and tolerance - is real, that's what matters, and those who don't know where their regrets are The regrets seem to be irrelevant.

    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?

    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
