Over the weekend I watched an interesting Movie titled "Lars and the Real Girl". Not only does this film feature the oh so dapper Ryan Gosling, but it shares characteristics with the story of Pygmalion. Lars is strange fellow and has trouble connecting with people. To fill the romantic void in his life he orders a lifelike doll from an adult website. He soon falls in love with and introduces Bianca, the doll, to his coworkers and family. Although though Bianca never comes to like, like in Pygmalion, the idea of being in love with an inanimate object is the same.
