Has anyone here seen this movie yet?

What do you think of Lars? Was he an aspie?

The people around him were so compassionate. It was very touching...

Brilliant film. Not sure if he's an aspie; he's got the social issues, but no special interests (although his obsession with Bianca might count as one).

I liked the film a lot. I doubt that whoever wrote the script intended to create an aspie character.

It was unrealistically optimistic, but it endeared itself to me, possibly for that very reason. Very charming film.

It was a great movie. I loved how the people were so nice to him. It was a true story and I wonder how those people came to be so compassionate. I think his sister in law was the key to it all. I don't think that most people would be so kind to that sort of person. I mean, from my experience, I would expect others to put him in a home or beat him senseless. I can't imagine any girl going for him unless he was rich. But, this guy lived in a garage and had a low paying job. Still, some girl loved him all though it.
It would be nice to have that sort of love around you. You know, the type of love that tries to understand and doesn't judge or doesn't ask for anything in return is really ideal.
I think if I was that girl in the office who had the hots for him, I'd be jealous of his doll.
I wouldn't be able to tolerate her. That would make a funnier story. Some girl jealous of a mannequin or stand in. Yeah, but that would be more real. Could you imagine if the girl in the office was really hot and had a life? That would be funnier I think. That movie was just weird. I am thinking about it way too much I know. But that was just very strange. Why didn't that guy get diagnosed with anything? In real life, someone like him would get put on meds or be ostracized by the community. Where was he from? I think I'd like to move there. :lol:
