"Lars and the Real Girl": dolls, delusions, fetishes, lust, pure love, and murder
. Vulcan Ji.

Look at the movie with a lustful eye - inflatable dolls, adult toys, and sex toys. After all these appearances have settled down; we will be defeated by our preconceived intellectual judgments. Pure, beautiful - even if that ending is not carried out all the way from beginning to end, the sublimation of the theme that has nothing to do with sensuality will still make us feel ashamed. - Vulcan Ji. Inscription.

Compared to desire, Platonic pure spiritual desire appears so clean and elegant. And it's somewhat ironic to project this platonic emotion onto the body of an adult sex toy product made purely for sensuality—inflatable dolls.
indeed. I think it takes a lot of courage and a big enough thinking span. This may also explain why such an excellent script was finally filmed after being hidden in a film kingdom like Hollywood for three years; adult toys, even in the open United States, are still a special and sensitive Area. Considering the audience's acceptance, it seems common sense to suspend this script.
Wearing a gorgeous and enchanting coat, but wrapped in a clear and sincere warmth. This "bouncy doll" gimmick has a flamboyant opening.

Pink - After watching this movie, I was so impressed by this color that may not be commensurate with this movie. What kind of personality does a person who likes pink look like? The online sayings are not uniform; but there are certain characteristics that are surprisingly close.
For example, there is a strong tendency to escape from reality, and he is not good at revealing his thoughts to others, so he often hides in his own small world; this is a symptom close to mild autism. Another example is that it is not easy to accept other people's opinions, does not like to argue with people and is regarded as indecisive; there is also the embarrassment of being unable to bear the reality and the betrayal of people who have been trusted; these seem to be in Ryan Gosling's role. Seen on Russ. A man who always wore a pink shirt, a man who put his beloved girlfriend in the pink room of his dead mother. Shy, romantic, even a little bit autistic; it all seems to account for a little bit.

All those warm-hearted and generous people in a small place always have something precious enough to move people; but this is absolutely impossible to see in a big city. What if this story took place in any other big place; maybe, everything would be different.
Bianca. Just a simulated human doll. If it wasn't Russ who ordered Bianca home, it might just be a lust vehicle for a man in his lust boudoir when he's over-energized. Russ gave it a beautiful name and a moving story; so, it became her.
This seems to be a pretty story in itself. In this story, at least, it humanizes a dead thing; and because of the fundamental existence of this humanity, the story is not as rudimentary as other stories. But so far, all this is just Lars' imagination. If the story stops here, then this is just the crazy lust of an autistic man; it is not what Lars can do to make this fantasy a reality, what he can do is only as a creator And brought Bianca into the social life of the town residents.

It can be said that it was Lass who gave life to Bianca; and it was these town residents who zealously cooperated with Lass in order to fulfill Lass's imagination, who gave this strange lifeform its charisma. They may be puzzled or curious, but no matter what - if it weren't for them, Bianca would just be an imaginary artificial doll instead of a real life.
There is no doubt that she will accept all of Rath's wishes to be the perfect lover of Rath and to play a major role in Rath's life. However, this will undoubtedly lower the tone of the film.
From watching curiously to limited cooperation, and finally, the townspeople give Bianca a greater degree of freedom and allow her to have her own personality. From obeying Yulas' wishes until she began to show some rebellious behaviors, the kind-hearted residents of the town gave her one of the most important characteristics of life as a person - personality. It can be said that the doll manufacturer made it; it was Russ who created her human birth; but it was all the residents of the town who completed her true character as a human being.

This is important; much more important than making it to create her. The transition from Lass's one-man show to a large-scale stage play centered on Bianca, in which the entire town residents are participating, is exactly when Bianca was endowed with a sense of resistance to Lass and truly became a When the individual personality that an independent person must have, this comedy drama really kicked off.
From autism to delusion and then to fetish, from the luxury of fetish to crazy lust, it ends here completely; and the so-called pure love also starts here. Why do I stress this point so much; because, only after this point is established, we can better move on to the next argument - about Bianca's murder.

Much of the film actually seems to have a very tender taste. Margot, the choir girl in Kelli Garner's church, the shy and reserved Russ in the silent stare of the choir girl, lived a life of poise and order before Bianca; on time After get off work, stand in front of the window and watch their happy life, and go to church to worship. Autistic, not talking to anyone, afraid of all physical contact.
The appearance of Bianca changed many things. The haze-filled life in Lass seemed to be brisk, with a little sunshine, even though it was still snowing outside the window. Paul Schneider as Russ' brother Keith, Emily Mortimer's sister-in-law Karin panicked when she first met Bianca and the scene in the kitchen The acting show full of tension made the best footnote to Bianca's appearance.

We can only imagine what it will be like when the residents of the town meet Bianca. only. A bit unexpected. At least it's a far cry from what we imagined. In other words, we underestimated the popularity of the Russ brothers or their ancestors and fathers in the town; after Guise greeted the people in the town, everyone cooperated with Russ's imagination, and Bianca was regarded as a A real guest was warmly received by the townspeople.
The perfect lover, because she was originally just Russ's delusion. Later, because of the eagerness of the townspeople; many events appeared on her schedule that Russ might not have wanted her to be involved in. From a perfect lover, she has actually become a chicken rib in Russ's eyes - a pity to chew it and discard it. This silent love, or only Russ's muttered voice, seemed to be doomed in the end.

The original Russ endured it all in silence. From the time he began to bring Bianca into the social life of the residents of the town, Bianca gradually became the core of social life; teaching in the orphanage helped the lonely old people in the community... Gradually, from silent Endurance begins to escalate into Russ and Bianca's first quarrel.
When Bianca wasn't around Lass, Lass started his own social activities. Like bowling with Margo. In fact, except for Bianca, Russ has always cared about Margot. And a colleague who worked with Lass once told Margo that why she couldn't get Lass was because she was too hasty. Two people care about each other, why can't they be together. Because, they also need certain catalysts. Unfortunately, Bianca and Margot's only few-faced boyfriend become the cannon fodder on the road to happiness for these two people who may have been destined to be together.

Margot told friends about Bianca's story; it was an important step in Bianca's social life. Margot would secretly watch Russ and Bianca sit quietly and happily together and whisper softly at worship while singing hymns; it was because Margot secretly liked Russ. More than once Margot also wanted Yoras to go for a ride with her or do something with her; it was the wildest expression in a woman of a desire to go from liking to further development.
And Lars. In fact, Russ also likes Margot. He would stand in front of Margo with the flowers the old man had given him and run away nervously; he would make an excuse to leave when Margo was dating him; he would console Margo when she was hurt— It's just that he didn't want to admit it and couldn't admit it. Because he had a Bianca, he had a Bianca before he found out he liked Margot. When Margot and her boyfriend appeared in front of Lass when he was hopeless, Lass's fragile but sensitive nerve was finally completely stabbed.

Of course. This was an absolute disaster for Bianca. When Margot finally broke up, when Margot finally asked Russ to go bowling and showed a desire to go further; Russ said he couldn't do anything to be sorry to Bianca. Another love affair that seemed to end without a problem, maybe just to satisfy Lars's vision for perfection, Bianca, the lover who is no longer perfect, may be time to leave, her departure will give Lass a sense of true love. A strong desire to bring about a new turn.
There's no way to imagine how Russ would have fulfilled his vision of self-perfection if Bianca didn't have as much social activity and was relegated from a perfect lover to an imperfect lover. From a psychological point of view, Bianca was not suddenly ill as Russ said, but was brutally murdered by Russ; and it was not only Russ who contributed to this murder, but also Margot, the The innocent looking girl, and all the kind people who have eagerly embraced Bianca.

There's nothing wrong with Margot, of course; it's not a mistake to like anyone, after all, all elusive feelings can't be summed up in the word wrong or right. And the people of the town are not wrong; they just cooperate with the doctor's forbearance advice and hope to help Lars out of the haze of self. Russ may not be wrong either; in his mind, Bianca died of illness rather than by himself.
Or, no one is wrong but me. Because, maybe no one but me sees it that way. Everyone may be more willing to believe the seemingly happy ending of the movie - Bianca dies, Russ gives her a simple but solemn funeral, and then he and Margot leave the funeral, and we seem to be able to. Seeing that Russ who came out of the haze finally lived happily with Margo.

But is it actually so? When Bianca was given a humanity, and then a personality, Bianca drew Rath's displeasure. And the doctor's words are a bit shocking - why Bianca is sick, because it is Russ who said; if he is seriously ill, he will die soon, this is what Russ said alone. Because of dissatisfaction, because I want to develop a new relationship, because I can't do anything sorry for Bianca... Therefore, Russ chose this path for Bianca.
This is the truth. If Bianca was just a sex doll, it might not be that complicated. There's nothing to be ashamed of about having a lover who ditched the old sex toy for sensuality. And Bianca is not just a doll, she has humanity, she has personality - then she has a soul - even if she doesn't speak or think. In my opinion, this is actually a murder.

Russ continues to do as his self-perfection should do. Such as sad, such as company, such as telling, such as hugging... Until Bianca finally left. However, who can deny that he directly caused the death of Bianca. Obscene murder, just for one's own lust, and done without leakage, and fulfilled all his longings with affection; sending away an imperfect lover and welcoming a new one.
I don't think many people are as refined and perfect as Lars. At the end of the film, it seems to be a depiction of falling into the water and dying for love, which seems to me not so beautiful and sad. Imagine that in Russ's delusion, not only did Russ survive the disease but survived strong, but Russ's behavior of walking towards the middle of the water with Bianca in his arms seemed a bit terrifying. Murder, in my opinion, is already a blatant murder.

Margo who is full of joy and Russ who is out of the haze; it seems to me that I want to shiver. Because, if Margot, who lives together in the future, makes Lars a little unhappy or Lass meets another person, will she face the same ending as Bianca. It's just that she won't be at the mercy of Russ like Bianca; so how will she handle herself.
The seemingly happy ending at the end of the film is actually not so happy. Those bright sunshine, those smiling faces, those light and peaceful - all are appearances. Underneath it was another rancid smell that couldn't be more filthy.

Everyone loves Bianca. Who doesn't love it. I have no doubt that a sex doll in the shape of Bianca might be a hit. However, perhaps everyone is more willing to believe that superficial ending of the movie; not many people like me more than this sleazy conclusion that perhaps should not have been.
Same as the opening of the movie. It opens with a splendid opening without the slightest splendor; it also ends with a happy ending without ever having the slightest good intentions. I love this film, whether it's gorgeous or not; art has its own way of expressing it, it's just whether we agree with it or not.
