Myself: I felt like an outsider in the movie. I guess you could feel that way in every movie, book, or song but this was so much more apparent. Like here I was intruding into this guys home not knowing any of his past until three quarters into the movie!
What was your experience with the film? I think it's easy to feel like a townsperson but even being in the community is too involved for me. I feel like I don't belong. Maybe it's because I'm not used to the feeling of such a small town, and I couldn't imagine the town of Snohomish/Everett doing the same for me.
Gosh, I loved this movie. Definitely top 5.
Romona Liberty: I am beginning to feel like this movie is more about the acceptance of people that our social groups deem "different". I think the community uses Bianca as a tool to become more accepting and welcoming to Lars. In the end, Lars is still "different" yet the community is accepting of him. Do you think that in the end Lars accepts the community or that the community accepts Lars?
Myself: Great post!
I actually believe Lars accepted the town. Maybe I interpreted this wrong but I felt as if the town was always pretty accepting of Lars, and then Lars got Bianca. Which then turned into more of the town accepting Bianca. I don't think it was ever a question of whether the town was accepting, I think Lars had to get over his fear of people, and Bianca helped him.
