The film starts in beautiful and relaxing music. An ordinary man living alone, living an ordinary and lonely life. An inflatable doll called "Xiaowang" came to this world to satisfy men's physical desires. In an early morning that was the same as usual, when the man left home for work, the inflatable doll began to breathe, with a gentle undulating breathing, a little stiff but with a trace of excitement, moving his arms and legs, and began to gradually adapt to the movement of walking. , Choose clothes to try on in the closet, go out, learn from the neighbor’s little girl saying "I’m out", breathe in the fresh outdoor air, look at the flowers and plants on the roadside with joy, and observe the sanitation workers cleaning up the garbage. ...Everything in the world made this inflatable doll that suddenly came alive curious.
She got a job in a video store, and she knew nothing, and kept learning from her colleague Junichi. He took her to the movies, to the beach, taught her to recognize white clover, and taught her the name of the movie. He helped her blow up when she accidentally broke her arm and the air leaked. She has a heart, a curious and pure childlike innocence, and she will say "so beautiful" when she looks at the raindrops left on the window sill last night in the morning sun. Compared with white-collar workers with binge eating disorder, guilty old women who keep saying "I'm sorry" every day, retired substitute teachers with empty hearts, restaurant waiters who can't face their emotional life and use inflatable dolls to vent their desires, inflatable dolls are better than them. happiness.
She fell in love with Junichi, everything was more beautiful in her eyes, but she could no longer stand the master's touch, and would sneak up to take a bath at night. Although she ran away, she still hid in the master's house and listened to his movements. From here, her heart became complicated. She still has a sense of dependence on this family. The owner bought a new inflatable doll, which was an excitement to her. She is not the only one in the master's heart, she is just one of the substitutes for the ex-girlfriend. She became a human, but the master wanted her to return to the time when she was heartless. She couldn't understand the man's thoughts. She discovered the disadvantages of Youxin-the heart would hurt and feel empty. When Junichi told her that he was the same as her, when the old man on the bench told her that his heart was also empty, the inflatable doll smiled. She found a sense of belonging in them. She mistakenly thought Junichi was really the same as herself, and she wanted to love him in her own way. She allowed him to let the air in his body and blow it in, "dead" and "live" over and over again. She cut a hole in Junichi's body, attached it with transparent glue, and then blew it up for him. But she didn't know that this would not save his life. After Junichi died, she put him in a combustible garbage bag. Everything is in accordance with the procedures she has learned to see everything in just a few days or weeks.
The life of an inflatable doll is short, and what she wants is simple, that is, to be cared for, and to be cared for. Before she died, she was like a little match girl who saw the scene she wanted the most--everyone, including the previous owner, gave her a birthday cake at the restaurant and sang birthday songs. She left moving tears. No one was able to give her true love. A man living alone only used her as a tool for venting his desires and didn’t want her to have a heart at all; Chunyi was still a former lover in his heart, and when the inflatable doll truly gave himself to him, he wanted Based on her pain, the sentence "I want you to do something that no one else can do, let me let the air in your body" shocked the doll and broke my heart.
The heart of the inflatable doll is not empty, but the people around her make her heart empty. She failed to find the meaning of survival in this world. After Junichi died, her heart died too. She came alive in the sound of a faint breathing, and slowly deflated in the same breathing. Her heart transformed into dandelion seeds with the air released from her body and floated to every corner. The end of the sadness is revealed, because the white-collar worker with binge eclipse opened the window and saw the inflatable doll in the flower skirt in the garbage dump. Although it is not a happy ending, at least the beautiful heart of the inflatable doll is still in the world.
The film re-examines the world from the perspective of an inflatable doll. Asked her view of the world through the mouth of the inflatable doll maker: "It's not that there are no beautiful things at all." Presupposition-There are many unpleasant things in this world. The relaxed and fast-paced music box music runs through the entire film, even when the inflatable doll is in danger-when the inflatable doll is deflated and died of pure blood, there is no sadness or scary soundtrack. The tone is the same from beginning to end. , Revealing a light and fluttering feeling. The plain narrative technique and the ups and downs of the story itself constitute a kind of tension, but it causes a greater impact on the viewer. After reading it, my mood couldn't be calm for a long time. What makes our world lack of care? What makes people prefer to face an inflatable doll with no heart and no feelings rather than socializing with others? What makes people fall in love with a deformed pleasure? The film raises many questions and leaves it to the viewers to think slowly, and the technique of asking questions is clever, unknowingly, people begin to reflect on their own lives. This is where the film succeeds.
