Before watching "Love of Inflatable Dolls", like many people, I was misled by the name and thought it was a movie such as "30-year-old virgin" and "Color is Empty". A movie that is considered to be an American B-movie, no foul language, no violence, no funny plots, no jokes about sex, and some are just a kind of moving that secretly flows from the bottom of my heart, like the feeling of melting a glacier, tenderness. But no trace.
The story begins on a cold morning, monotonous white, everything is so cool and lonely, in the movement of the camera, I saw the handsome and thin face of the male protagonist, he was looking out the window through the window, and he The heart and the outside world are also separated by a layer of glass. Can't see, but can't get in, can't get out.
Lars is afraid of socializing with people, he is afraid of contacting people, living alone in the garage, going to his brother and sister-in-law to have dinner for him is like a torture, going to work, going home, over and over again, every day, lars is like this, living a simple and simple life Lonely life. Until the Brazilian beauty named Bianca broke into his world like this, and Bianca was just an inflatable doll.
Lars' love for Bianca is even more heartbreaking. There is a huge contrast between Bianca's identity and lars' almost pure love. In the eyes of others, Bianca is just a tool used by lonely men to satisfy their desires, while in lars' heart, Bianca is the most suitable girl for him.
He talks to her, he tells her stories about childhood, he goes to parties for her, he will feel jealous that Bianca is too busy, go out together, go out together, go to the hospital together, even hold hands carefully, he let everyone see When it comes to love, everyone feels his change.
Medically speaking, chronic loneliness caused lars' unhealthy emotions, and Lars' personality traits were magnified, and he was indeed morbid and unusual. But on a deeper level, who can say that they are healthy?
Everyone is more or less morbid, but most morbid behaviors are only within the range that can be accepted or allowed by the world. Many people will be crazy about the Internet, and many people will be paranoid indulging in a hobby. Many people Will stubbornly maintain a habit, everyone will give themselves a space to release loneliness, there are many people like lars around us, and there are also unknown secrets behind the bright and beautiful appearance.
On this level, I even admire that lars' morbidity actually makes him more real. As a result, the people around him reflect on their past shortcomings from lars, and carefully create a fairy-tale world for him and Bianca.
Compared with the love of lars, the tolerance of the small town moved me more. From the inconceivable and overwhelmed at the beginning, to the unconcerned and calm, and finally to the change of Bianca regardless of gains and losses and hard work, we have seen the understanding and recognition of lars by the residents of the town. Bathing Bianca, inviting Bianca to do volunteer work, participating in parties, doing modeling work... and completely forgetting that she is just an inflatable doll who can't speak. Everyone becomes closer and more human in this tolerance.
lars performed artificial respiration for the stuffed bear tangled in the mouse cord, making his colleague who has been crying smile brightly; Tony Leung likes to talk to the tearful towel and the thin soap in "Chongqing Forest", so that they don't give up on themselves; Hyun Bin In "My Name is Jin Sanshun", I will talk to the pink pig about my thoughts and make her happy like a child... In many people's lives, are there such objects that play the role of listeners? ?
Compared with the tolerance of the small town, our society has also become more tolerant. We can accept pregnancies out of wedlock, we can face homosexuality calmly, we can turn a blind eye to many bizarre phenomena, and such tolerance, in a sense, is a disguised alienation, and everyone becomes lonelier.
The degree of tolerance in a society can often reflect the degree of civilization in the society, because admitting tolerance and understanding is equal to admitting individual choices and individual differences, but is there more beautiful loss and regret behind such collective tolerance and rational existence?
Due to the indifference and alienation in the relationship between people, we don't care about how other people's lives are, we don't care about how the outside world is, we just shuttle between home, company, and work, closing the door and opening the window, only ourselves, we We don't know who to tell our thoughts, and we don't know who to share our happiness with. Many times, we pick up the phone, but can't find someone to talk to...
Behind every window is an expressionless face , every face has a closed heart, the city is lonely, there is no trace of our past life, there is no bond to maintain our interpersonal relationship, so everyone is lonely.
Through the Internet or games, you can play a similar self, but you can't hide the deeper loneliness after leaving the Internet; "house" has become the life slogan or attitude of many people, but behind this trend can not make up for the anxiety of the surrounding environment and dazed. Not wanting to keep it like this, but there is no better way to release it. So, behind the tolerance, is a more desolate, more sad sadness.
The film ends in a reasonable and unexpected way at the end. We saw that the ice under the eaves was gradually melting, we saw that lars began to actively invite girls who have always had a good impression, and we saw that the whole town became warm and poetic, maybe a little platonic romance, but it really made people feel Heartbroken, in fact, winter has come, will spring be far behind?
The light-hearted plot, the performance that leaves no trace, and the light humanistic care, such a low-budget movie made me see a long-lost touch, looking at the sleeping Yaoyao beside me, I know how happy I am, I know myself How much will cherish this hard-won happiness.
Classic lines:
Lars : You don't care.
Karin: We don't care? We do care!
Lars : No you don't.
Karin: That is just not true! God! Every person in this town bends over backward to make Bianca feel at home. Why do you think she has so many places to go and so much to do? Huh? Huh? Because of you! Because - all these people - love you! We push her wheelchair. We drive her to work. We drive her home. We wash her. We dress her. We get her up, and put her to bed. We carry her. And she is not petite, Lars. Bianca is a big, big girl! None of this is easy - for any of us - but we do it... Oh! We do it for you! So don't you dare tell me how we don't care.
