LARS AND THE REAL GIRL 2

Ryan Gosling's Lars is a timid young town man who lives alone in a small warehouse

converted from a warehouse, and lives next to his brother, who lives in the main house. Lars,

who is not socially friendly, is always in an extremely anxious state when facing the girl of the

same age. Lars brings his first girl in life until the excessive enthusiasm has forced him to

nowhere to escape. Lars cares about Bianca. He will help her eat the food in the dish, take her to

see a doctor, push her to go shopping and outings in a wheelchair, attend various social

occasions, and help Bianca set a good family background, even dividing the room to sleep. Also

at the end, medically, it is impossible to conclude Lars' behavior, but we can only briefly infer

from Lars' brother Gus, that Lars is young after he has experienced his mother's death and his

brother's run away from home.

Lars and the real girl, in addition to the fake Bianca, there are several real women around

Lars. The first thing in the story is Larin's big brother Karin. The latter is like a colonial empire

to Lars. He (Lars) is being compelled to think this way in his subconscious mind: "This woman

followed my unfamiliar brother, and it was not enough to infringe on my site. It's also a headache

for me to sneak into my life at three o'clock." For Lars, Karin's appearance made him face his

problems and changed from simple social anxiety to self-identification anxiety (Zastrow, 2006).

The second woman is Lars' colleague who goes by the name Margo. She doesn't seem to be

important but turned over at the last minute, said it was strange. According to shame resilience

theory, an experience of shame may entangle an individual to the extent that he/she may find it

quite difficult to disembark due to the desire to keep the whole difficult experience to oneself. It

is like a consuming epidemic once it is kept a secret (Sisco & West, 2014). When a person goes

through shame, professional help may be required. Lars is in the predicament of shame. He had

a proactive woman, and it was no wonder that his illness would get him to such a strange place in

LARS AND THE REAL GIRL 3

a moment. In short, Margo is like a warlord with a poorly used tactic. He wants to capture the

city in front of him, but only in exchange for a thicker wall. Maybe Margo should let him realize

that maybe there should be a girl around. Lars is trying as much as possible that he is resilient to

shame. It is only time that will tell. On the other hand, Bianca's appearance is irrelevant to these

two women.

The impressive debut is the universal doctor Dagmar. The disease is all right, what is

wrong with the problem, Lars's condition is stripped with the touch of mature women, and

finally, Lars is frank and can't accept the person with him. The bit of body temperature almost

makes him burn out but Bianca will not let him feel this way. An inflatable doll, which should

have been a personal accessory for a man's boudoir, can only satisfy the physical needs, but

Bianca, who was brought out, has successfully become an emotional communication channel

between Lars and friends. Erikson’s Theory explores the psychosexual development.

Conceptualizing affection and love has always been very easy and at the same time quite

challenging. There are four major themes on which Erikson based his theoretical project in

which he intended to make the psychogenesis of the whole person: affectivity, movement,

intelligence and the question of the person, that is the self (Oliver, 2007). Thus, we can say that

emotions are a form of communication that especially in the newborn constitutes the way to

relate to the new environment to which it is exposed, using them to express their feelings of

loneliness, hunger, joy, sadness, nuisance among others. Emotion is contagious. Who has never

felt touched to see someone crying or was happy to see someone thrilled? That gives the baby

the power to mobilize other people to realize what they are feeling or want. To help Lars, the

folks all received Bianca. In the face of the fact that he could not find his girlfriend, Lars finally

couldn't bear it anymore. He had the first quarrel with Bianca. The squad of the folks saw this

LARS AND THE REAL GIRL 4

situation and immediately yelled at Lars: "I don't want to think about who is because we are busy

every day, pick her up and go there, arrange her trip, all because of you.”

What the folks did for Bianca was done for Lars. Lars is finally not evading his negative

emotions and gradually dares to use fierce quarrels as a means of communicating with the

outside world. Slowly, his performance is like a "real person” (Gillespie, 2007). Bianca

projected the character of a part of Lars itself. Her appearance is also Lars' self-consciousness

(Hughes-d'Aeth, 2013). It should be time to cut with the layer. The smile at the end of the film

should be a gift from Bianca to Lars, a grant from the whole town to Lars, tolerance, and

understanding. Indeed, the characters have withstood shame for all that long. From the shame

resilience theory, Lars emerges with the victory. The story may have been a feeling that every

one of us has ever imagined. We are so eager for love, but we are so afraid of being hurt,

quarreling and leaving. So he closed himself and feared contact with others, only for safety, to

prevent himself from being hurt, but the heart was lonely and eager. Only Lars has his fantasy to

have an existing entity. He has a real nightmare for Bianca, just like the one we imagined in our

minds.

The scattered background reveals the growth of Lars. He is a legacy. His father hates him

for taking the life of his beloved wife, but he also loves the continuation of their love, although

perhaps he is not a qualified father. In the identity of Lars, he killed his mother, his father hated

him, his brother abandoned him, and because of his mother's death, he believed that the

relationship between men and women (pregnant child) would bring inevitable tragic

consequences, so he touched him in others. The body felt unbearable pain, so he had the chance

to contact others in addition to the necessary activities, even if he lived in a brother Guss and

nephew Karin. Lars, who was initially satisfied with this, felt the fear and threat when Karin's

LARS AND THE REAL GIRL 5

pregnancy and her passionate contact with him. He began to want to integrate into the outside

world, but still terrible suspicion, so the inflatable doll Bianca became him. The point of entry

and the bond that links him to the outside world are essential. Due to the way of life outside, she

makes him believe that he is the same as others, there are lovers, some people love, can sing and

dance to fight for the age, she let him overcome step by step Her fear, she gave him to enter the

adult world after many years of being late.

In recap, Lars's autistic morbidity is infiltrated with a pitiful temperament. The

performance is fascinating. This small-cost, brief-production independent film has brought me so

much touch and reflection, and it has become increasingly clear that the art of film can't rely

solely on technology. With the existence of such a movie, it is the real thing that makes me love

movies so much.
