lover = ideal self

It is undeniable that some of us are living patients, and our body and mind are divided, so it is naturally difficult to have a complete self. The psychological healing of the film is very useful for reference, but it is simple but straight to the deepest part of the heart. The various cooperation of the small town people in the film is probably Rationalized, that is a rationalized community, no matter how different you are or how different you are from others, there are still such a group of people who never give up on you and accept you until they awaken you as a true self. The sense of existence, the acceptance of the people around, the deep sense of non-existence that is afraid of being abandoned and not accepted slowly melts away, restoring a somewhat true and complete self. Lover = ideal self, but we think it is a kind of love, but in fact it is the repressed and unknown self buried in the heart. When it is difficult to express your true self feelings in real life, you will pin this self on your lover It is euphemistically called the realization of ideals. When the actual self is highly inconsistent with the ideal self, infatuation occurs.

The most profound feeling left by the whole film should first be the word "love". In terms of composition, this kind of "love" contains multiple stages and multiple elements. It starts with the caring and caring affection of the two brothers and sisters to Lars, and it is the illusory love of Lars for the inflatable doll, but it is the change of the residents of the town. The warmth revealed by his attitude is the so-called unspeakable relief and longing that Lars has shown after all the twists and turns. But no matter what kind of emotional bearing, performance and expression, it is inseparable from an important prop, that is, Bianca, an inflatable doll. It was under the influence of “she” (not “it”) that Lars, who was originally autistic and reticent, slightly opened the dusty window of his heart, and the original cynicism of the residents of the small town gradually opened up the embrace of mutual understanding.

This film is like "miss little sunshine", let us find the hidden sadness under the peaceful and forbearing joy. Lars's family and friends are really kind. The whole story is warm and beautiful. At the same time, there is no shortage of thoughtful points.

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
