Review of Lars and the Real Girl (2007) by Paul A — 02 Feb 2013
The kindness that American Scandinavian Lars (played by Ryan Gosling) experienced from his brother (Paul Schneider) sister-in-law (Emily Mortimer), doctor (Patricia Clarkson), church and the whole town is too good and unanimous to be true when Lars decided to make a life sized doll named Bianca, his brazilian girl friend.
Nobody laughed or shunned or ridiculed Lars. Instead after the initial shock, everybody went along with Lars' and embraced Bianca like she was real right up to the point when she was buried in a cemetery with the town turning out for the funeral.
It is so unbelievable because it is not representative of the typical american society that Hollywood depicts or the 3 years of my life USA. There is always a mix of good and bad people. Perhaps Minnesota is different from the rest of USA the majority of the people in this small town seem good.
Just like in Scandinavia.
