After reading everyone's reviews, I think it's a good movie

When I downloaded this movie, I was embarrassed to say that it was for the Chinese translation of the name. I thought very evilly about the actress next door, the school bunny girl, etc., and it was classified as a comedy, so I thought it was a sex comedy. kind. I used the player to randomly select a few clips to watch, and I felt that the picture was quite gray, and the male protagonist was quite neurotic, so I never watched it in its entirety until today.
The overall feeling is that it has been very dull, the picture is dark, and the plot also takes place in a place similar to the suburbs. Except for the protagonist and a few others, almost all the characters are middle-aged and elderly, but later with the development of the plot to the end, there is a sense of relief. feel. The male protagonist is a person who had unfortunate childhood. Because of his mother's dystocia, he can't forget it. Later, his father was grumpy after losing his mother, but he always took it upon himself, so all this caused his loneliness and mental immaturity. He was afraid of being with others. After further contact, he didn't know how to deal with feelings, and later he bought a Sex Doll to act as his girlfriend.
The plot is actually quite simple. The people who help the male protagonist are moved. At first, only his sister-in-law may sympathize with him and help him. Later, people in the whole place cooperate with him to unravel the knot step by step. Especially his elder brother, at first he didn't seem to care much about his younger brother's strange behavior and wanted to send him to a mental hospital. Later, he gradually understood the reason why his younger brother found his illness in his heart, and reflected on his failure to help him when he was a child. I remember the priest in the play said when someone asked him if he should play with lars and let the sex doll into the church, he said, what would Jesus do? The life that the Lord has given to everyone has its own meaning, and people should care about each other , Understand that some people may be different from others, but the love of the Lord is no different.
In addition, Gosling did a great job in this movie. He showed the child-like simplicity, anxiety, concern and dependence on "lover" very thoroughly. It is indeed a very good movie, and it is also a very good movie about mental illness. Finally, it is not schizophrenia. To be honest, I am tired of watching that kind of subject matter. I remembered that my classmates said that schizophrenia movies are actually very good and tell the story well. It is bizarre, logically confusing, and often ends in schizophrenia. Only by shooting a very simple story can the level of the screenwriter and the skill of the director really be tested.
