The film Lars and the real girl was written by Nancy Oliver and directed by Craig Gillespie. This movie is both humorous and touching. As for the genre, it is considered a comedy. This movie utilized humorous situations and a touch that relates to the individual on a personal level. The fact that the protagonist, Lars, has mental issues is intriguing, and interest in the film further expands as one realizes that Lars is strange enough to buy a sex doll for non-sexual intimacy. Individuals, such as me, may have initially viewed the movie as a flop- an outlandish story meant only for absurd laughs; but as the movie progressed, it was clear that it possessed more substance than had been anticipated. The lifestyles and values portrayed in this film are those that are most commonly associated with a small town. Everyone has a strong sense of community and intimacy and is supportive of each other- even if a citizen chooses to parade around a sex doll and consider it real. This message is being sent to demonstrate that people need to be accepting of others regardless of their differences. It is imperative that individuals be tolerant of others beliefs. This movie manifests Jesus’ commandment to love one anther as we would want to be treated and loved.
