“Lars and the Real Girl” is a phenomenal movie about perspective & people. Lars the key character in the movie played by Ryan Gossling is a emotionally stunted man living in a small town.

Lars for the most part is socially stunted and keeps to himself. He is living in his families garage until he learns of an online website where you can purchase anatomically correct plastic dolls.

Lars sees this as an opportunity to break out of his shell. He purchases one of these dolls (naming her Bianca) but creepily carries on a relationship with this doll bringing her to parties and social gatherings. At first Lars is the talk of the town and the butt of the joke but Lars and Bianca win over the town.

Eventually the town embraces Bianca as a real person taking her to social events and even competing with Lars for time with her.

Eventually Lars find himself growing more social and starts to fall in love with a “real girl” Margo. Margo is a quirky girl from work. Lars finds himself in a dilemma and his only option is to allow Bianca to die.

The movie is so sweet and charming that I found myself falling in love with Lars and Bianca. Bianca became a real person.

I miss her.

Check out the movie you love it.
