inflatable doll, come and go

A weak person, unable to cope with some challenges in life, came up with a very genius method, created a false life, and then wrote, directed and acted its life history. When you grow up and become stronger, kill this false life. It's perfect, just like the creator.

The whole movie kept me thinking about boundaries. In fact, like Lars' illusion, everyone has it, but the degree is different. How many people have to distort reality in order to escape growth and pain. But there is rarely such a warm side in this film. Reality is cruel and self-directed. Unlike a movie, it develops as the director wishes.

Lars' madness is beyond the limits of what ordinary people can tolerate. And the madness of you and me is just not beyond this limit, and it is still madness after all. Who can see the complete truth? ? An apple is placed in front of you, it is rotten every second, your own body is also rotten every second, but you don't realize it, you think you are very good, very bright, very young, future It's bright, and you don't think anyone around you is passing by. Humans are creatures that rely on hallucinations to be happy. If you see the complete truth, you will be blinded by light on the spot. Not crazy, not live.

Lars created a life. Does the creator have the power to kill? This whole process of creation and suffocation, compared with reality, is concrete and small, concrete and huge.

Lars has crossed a certain line, but what he does is not qualitatively different from ordinary people. Everyone has an inflatable doll, and everyone is busy projecting their desires and creating illusions -- illusions that they think are 100% real. When the illusion is easy to use, keep it and cherish it. If it doesn't work well, just take a needle and pierce it with a "pop", and then it will grow on its own.

It's just that most people don't have to have a funeral for a false death.

  • Lars Lindstrom: I was talking to Bianca, and she was saying that in her culture they have these rites of passages and rituals and cermonies, and, just all kinds of things that, when you do them, go through them, let you know that you're an adult? Doesn't that sound great?
