It was very nice to have a marathon of Ryan Gosling movies, because I stumbled upon this unique masterpiece. Lars and the Real Girl is a story about a sad relationship. About a man named Lars and his girl named Bianca who is sick and getting worse and worse with every passing day. The twist is, Bianca is actually a live sized sex doll. ↩ Reply

There are people in the real world who have sexual relationships with inanimate objects. Some even marry them. This movie is a deep psychological dive into one such person. And this person is wonderfully portrayed by Gosling. c:0 ↩ Reply

You know there are pretty much 2 types of Gosling. The one from Drive, where he is a serious man that doesn't talk much. And the one from Crazy, Stupid, Love where he is a charismatic, witty person that is very good at comedy. Here he is both in the same time, while none of it. Lars if is a character of his own. He is insecure and awkward, but it comes out as funny at times. It is a kind of role that I can't imagine anyone pulling off. But then there is Gosling with his magic. ↩ Reply

The director of the film Craig Gillespie knows exactly what he is doing. This film is not trying to be flashy. But that's kind of the point. And Craig knows how to not be in your face with his directing. He disappears. And you are in the story with Lars and Bianca and other characters. But it doesn't mean that he isn't good. I cried very fucking hard in the end of the movie. This means that he is very good at his job. It's just that he is not trying to setup things to show off. c:1 ↩ Reply

This film has a weird kind of feeling to it. There are seemingly no antagonists. Which is interesting. And there is a sense that everybody is acting as if they are younger than they are. Like people at the office might be playing with toys and having very serious arguments about toys. And stuff like that. This is very strange. But I guess it adds to the atmosphere. It makes the movie a bit uncanny. And I like it. ↩ Reply

If you really think about it, we all are made out of unalive matter. Atoms do not have life in them. From a glance a corpse is not that different from an unmoving human. Thus, all sex is with inaminate objects, it is just matter of perspective.

That's more so a well written story.

Gareth Edwards is a type of writer / director that I can relate to. I remember watching the Star Wars movie that he directed Rogue One back when it came out and feeling like I know what this guy is doing. Like I myself want to be that guy. Back in 2016 ( when Rogue One came out ) I still didn't quite give up the Wrong Hate project and what he showed was the stuff that I was aiming for.

Guy Ritchie's Revolver 2005 explains Luc Besson

I don't remember when was the last time I had watched a movie so strong that my mind literally cannot stop obsessing over it. Being on a Luc Besson marathon I discovered that there is a misunderstood film which Besson wrote together with Guy Ritchie, which was directed by Ritchie, which is called Revolver. The 13% score on Rotten Tomatoes, in my opinion is there just because the critics were literally too dumb, or too insecure, for this movie. Or because this is something the Ritchie and Besson literally wanted to achieve. If the film became a hit, or was well received critically, the message of the film would not have worked as well as it does.
