Lars and the Real Girl

I saw Lars and the Real Girl tonight. I had heard it was good, but I’m blown away by how amazing it is. It’s something that I wish I could write, but I don’t have that much goodness in me. I also wish people in America could be as conscious and caring as the citizens in this unnamed town. I felt like this town was a one-off, an idealized village only possible in fantasy. Maybe it could it happen anywhere in America. I feel that the US is poisoned with cynicism or a totalitarian view of what is right and any variations are wrong. The vision of the movie is so wonderful and so far from what I’ve seen in the world. Also the acting and directing are superb as well. I can’t recommend this movie enough.
