Lonely city, we have no heart

When I saw the movie poster, I didn't expect too much. I thought it would be a cheesy porn and romance drama. I didn't expect to see half of it, and even she was brought in to watch it with me. At first, I was curious about the anthropomorphic conception of an inflatable doll (when the doll started to move, it reminded me of the ghost doll Hanako, etc.), then, it changed with the plot, emotions and heroine encounters. After reading, There is an overwhelming sense of sadness.
Let me talk about some of my thoughts on watching this movie. It seems to be a story about an inflatable doll. She never had a heart until she had a heart and finally died tragically like a little match girl. A modern adult version of urban fairy tales, however, a lot of information Characters and plot settings, the director depicted a group of people living in Tokyo, first of all, the "master" with mild autism, because he broke up with his ex-girlfriend and was not good at dealing with men and women With inflatable dolls as his company, his smiling face at work is as heavy as a mask. Living alone makes him always like a child, and his life and feelings are only at the stage of a child.
Wei Suo's store manager, when he saw the beautiful heroine, became lustful, which undoubtedly gave the heroine who had just had a heart a punch, making her think that she was just a substitute for sexual desire. At this time, the Xiongtai who played No. 13 in "21st Century Boys" appeared as a good boy next door. When I saw this, I thought the plot would turn into a romantic love story, but I didn't expect it. How could the seemingly obedient clerk have such a strange sexual request, and the heroine who imitated him (she cut his stomach to blow him) had no intention of killing him. The innocent and pure heroine hastily ended her love.
There is also an interesting place in the middle. She accidentally met the god "Odagiri" who created her. It seems that the "creator" who created her and gave her heart and soul has no ability to give her the answer. , or don't mind, this "creator" is also a poor lonely man in the city, silently making his products, full of doubts in his heart.
But when the host saw the resurrected heroine, he was stunned. He didn't want the so bright, beautiful, perfect, pure and lovely loli maid-shaped heroine, but he wanted to turn her into a doll and wouldn't move. just a doll. The heroine finally got the answer here. In the end, she tore off the tape that had pasted her wound, and turned into an old abandoned doll in the garbage heap. The soul and heart in her body have become beautiful. The dandelions swayed with the air, giving people the last trace of reverie.
In this movie, there are lonely old men, strange "Ojisang", father and daughter without mother, rotten girls who keep their homes closed all day long, yes, a group of outliers in Tokyo, a city rich in material and spiritual products Lonely people, the most densely populated places, and the most abundant spiritual and material products, do not seem to cure the loneliness of these people. Others seem to be a portrayal of us living in the metropolis, not to mention that we are not at night after get off work. Feeling empty and bored, having nowhere to go during the holidays, rummaging through the phone book but not finding someone to pour out to. Why exactly? It is the pressure of the city, the separation of relatives, the absurdity of having nowhere to live.
Perhaps, beauty, purity, and kindness will eventually perish in these metropolises, leaving only a group of isolated monsters.
