Lars and The Real Girl Review

Lars and the real girl was written by Nancy Oliver and directed by Craig Gillespie.

In the beginning of the story, the preacher gives us a forshadowing of the movie. He says “..we need never ask, Lord what should I do?, because the Lord has told us what to do. Love one another….Love is God in Action.” The movie starts with a lonely man who lives in his garage. He is very quite and to himself. His mother died when he was young and he was left with his father, whom was sad all the time. All this played a huge role on his life. He was so lonely he ordered a sex doll, not for sexual use, but for a compainion to speak with and love. Her name was Bianca. His siter in law, Karin, was always loving to him, always trying to make his feel at home and doing what ever she could to help him. Her husband, Gus, kind of gave up on Lars at first but eventually accepted him and Bianca. I liked the part in the movie when Karin and Gus went to the church to see if they would understand the situation. Some were hesitant, and others were very supportive, but I like it when the oder gal stated all the weird things that everyone else had on their plates. I was reminded me that we need to stop judgein gpeople, and think about what Jesus would do for us.

Another point I really liked about this mmovie was the community. At first, many thought that Lars was insane. Though he was, the community came together to help him. It also showed the love that Karin and Gus, and the rest of the community, had for Lars. They never left him even when it seemed he was lost in space.

I was really confused at first, but I got the main message…at least I think I do.

Love at all times. Love one another. Love is God at work, making for a new future.
