People who are used to being lonely, when someone starts approaching, their rejection always becomes so natural. And to what extent is a person lonely to start talking to his own shadow?
Today, 囧囧 to introduce you to such a pure love movie about loneliness and growth, "The Love of The Sex Doll", don't be deceived by this dirty name, this film won the nomination for the 80th Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, almost a step away from the gods.
And the film stars Ryan Gosling, the high commander in last year's Oscar-nominated Grand Slam "Philharmonic City".
Russ, played by the High Commander, is a generous and honest person, simple and kind, but he is used to being alone, and his personality is becoming more and more withdrawn.
Because his mother died in childbirth when he gave birth to himself, his father was depressed from then on, and his brother Gus could not bear his father's silence and gloom and left the house early.
In such an environment, Russ obviously cannot grow up healthily.
Russ, who is 27 years old, still unable to accept external things, lives alone in the cold garage.
His brother and sister-in-law saw that he was always alone and often invited him to dinner, but Russ would find various reasons to refuse. He is not sociable and does not know how to communicate with his colleagues.
The church grandmother gave him a flower and asked him to hand it to the girl he liked. However, the girl who admired him only greeted him and frightened him into throwing away the flowers.
And he couldn't stand the touch of others.
In fact, in his heart, Russ is also eager to communicate with others, but the perennial lonely life has made him forget how to communicate with people, and the people around him are slowly getting used to his silence.
But suddenly one day Russ ran to his brother Gus's house and said that a girl named Bianca, whom he met online, had come to visit him at home.
Surprised and delighted, the Gus couple went to the house with Russ to party together, but what they saw when they entered the door made the couple look confused - it turned out that the so-called visiting netizen was a life-size sex doll that Russ ordered from the Internet.
But Russ talked to her and told her jokes as if the sex doll was really a real Bianca.
Immediately after Gus left The Russ' house, he consulted his family doctor, Dagmar, about his brother's condition.
After hearing this, Dagmar thought that this was an illusion created subjectively by Russ, and the cause of the illusion has yet to be investigated, but in order to avoid the deterioration of the situation, everyone must first follow his brother's wishes and fake it.
So, in order to save Russ, the people around him began to actively cooperate with the doctor's instructions and embarked on an alternative spiritual journey with Russ and Bianca.
And in the relationship with Bianca, Russ also became more and more cheerful, and began to pay attention to his appearance and image.
Before Russ introduced Bianca to the people around her, the family had already talked to the townspeople about Bianca being a sex doll, and everyone treated Bianca kindly, greeted her, sent her flowers, danced with her, got her hair, even gave her a job, sent her to and from work, bathed her, took care of her living, and Bianca was fully integrated into the life of the town.
Russ was always by her side, talking to her and playing with her, taking her to the paradise of her childhood, singing to her.
Russ had never been so happy, he was laughing more and more, and every day was new and fresh. Even though Bianca could only sit in a wheelchair, he was still satisfied.
The friendliness of the townspeople allows Bianca to blend into this warm place, but Russ and Bianca quarrel.
Russ's possessiveness and imbalance allowed him to destroy his image of a good man for the first time, and he wanted to have Bianca all the time, and now Bianca was loved by everyone.
Things always go unsatisfactory, and Russ tells the psychiatrist that Bianca rejected his marriage proposal.
Russ also began to think about these things related to growth and love, until he asked his brother: How do you know you are a man? His brother told him that "to be a man is that you will not embarrass the people around you, will not cheat behind the backs of the woman you love, take care of your own family, and have the courage to admit mistakes." ”
Although Russ is 27 years old, he is still a child at heart, and he wonders how to face this adult world.
So when we look at him through the eyes of a child, we will understand his loneliness and fear. Soon after Bianca fell ill, very ill.
People came to accompany Russ and told him the truth about his parting, and for the first time Russ felt that he was about to leave a dear person.
At the end of the movie, Bianca is still gone, and this place naturally represents Russ's growth.
The townspeople attended her funeral, and at Rus's request, they were all dressed in black, as if they were at a party, sitting together and talking about the beautiful and vivid girl, the Bianca who had once fallen in love with his friend Russ.
At the end, Russ stood smiling in front of Bianca's tombstone, and the man under the tombstone would always accompany him, and at this time he knew that the girl who accompanied him on the rest of his life was by his side.
As the Bible tells us at the beginning of the film, how does God let us avoid loneliness? The answer is, love each other.
Only a man like Russ knows the preciousness of love better, because those children who have not been loved, you give him a piece of sugar, he will not eat it, he will put the sugar in his pocket, and then hide in the bed at night and take it out to see.
