Lars and the Real Girl!!!!!!!

Who Is Lars….

The director and writer of “Lars and the Real Girl” are Craig Gillespie and Nancy Oliver. Some creative techniques used to attract my attention in this movie were first off, I would of never thought of making a sex doll a main character or even think that her purpose in a movie would be something not disturbing. So that was for sure one thing I found pretty extraordinary. I loved Ryan Gosling in this movie first off because it was a side of him I didn’t expect. He’s been the sensitive type in “The Notebook” but in this movie his disorder makes him stand out in a way I never thought he could really be as an actor. People might get the same reaction at first like I did, for example he looked like he was fine and once he entered the scene avoiding that girl from his church I started to think he was just scared to confront her. Then as the movie progressed I began to think he was crazy but then put myself in his family’s position and though to myself.. I would do the same thing they were doing, make her feel at home and whatever made him feel better just to have him in my life. As crazy as it might sound about me saying this as family we tend to try and protect and cover our family members mistakes as well as things in their life because no matter what we love them. Points of view, lifestyles, and values I got from this message are that a community can do so much for a person. Just when you think you don’t have people there for you, your family first of all comes through no matter what and the people you thought wouldn’t come through do help in so many ways. This community in particular was the church family; they were so trustworthy and supportive. As much as they didn’t make sense of Lars condition they went along with it cause they cared. Family is the ultimate thing in your life, without them you really wouldn’t be where you are and be who you are. I think this message is being sent to first off show what family and community do for a person in need and struggle and second off show what a person can go through and how something so silly to us is honestly reality of how people can suffer. Loneliness is a sad and powerful thing. God put us in our family for a reason. He knew that we were going to face struggles and that the people we looked up to the most leave us, and in return the only ones there are family. Great film and story line. I really enjoyed it.
