Richard regarded his solitude as something sacred, as a well earned badge of honor. A cloak, to be worn to ward off life. As his safety. Solitude is who he was. This caused those in his life to view him with a barely veiled contempt.Richard was certain that he was not liked, which is hard on a man. Maybe it was because he gave nothing that he received nothing in return. In any case, his situation had become intolerable. The closest things he had to friends were either imaginary or extinct. Richard reached a point in his life when this was no longer enough.And then he met a girl. And she was warm, and she was sad, and maybe she was lonely in a way that reminded him of himself. She had lost things that a girl should never have lost. And she knew things, and she taught him. And Richard thought, maybe this is what friendship feels like.Maybe.It was just a glimpse. It barely begun, really. But in those long, few, winter days. She'd given him so much. Enough so that Richard could go on.And what had he given her? Just a few words on a page. Not much, perhaps.But for Abby, he hoped it was enough. 

除去整个配乐部分很给力之外，我想它仍然是一部不错的片子。对于孤独的人来说，总会有那么一个上校或者是爱人的陪伴，那也只是仅此一人占有的对方。而对方也只是自己的一个影像。我们需要遇见，遇见合适自己的，能与自己分享一切开心，愉悦，悲伤，难过的真正的友人。。无关年龄，地域甚至是舆论真正的友谊。总能温暖一生。。

《纸人》豆瓣6.8分，1549人评价，不到7分，妥妥的小众片。但我要说，这片子被低估了。但如果你熬过那段，就会撞见一个温柔到骨子里的故事。中年作家理查德（杰夫·丹尼尔斯 饰）的困境太真实了——写作瓶颈、婚姻疲惫、自我怀疑。他雇了17岁少女艾比（艾玛·斯通 饰）做助理，这设定听着像烂俗忘年恋，但导演基兰·马尔罗尼没走歪路，反而用“神奇上校”（瑞安·雷诺兹 饰）这个幻想角色，把理查德的内心恐惧具象化。神奇上校不是来搞笑的，他是一面镜子，照出理查德不敢面对的懦弱。观众反馈说“演员之间的化学反应让这段特殊的友谊显得真挚动人”，我举双手同意。杰夫·丹尼尔斯把作家那种窘迫又柔软的样子演活了，艾玛·斯通则用一身刺和一颗软心塑造了早熟少女的经典形象。两人在一起的画面没有暧昧，只有两个孤独灵魂相互取暖的暖意。有人说节奏偏慢，我倒觉得慢得刚刚好——一个连自己都救不了的中年男人，怎么可能瞬间振作？那些琐碎的对话、尴尬的沉默，才是真实疗愈的过程。专业评价里提到“喜剧外壳下包裹着关于自我接纳与走出精神桎梏的深层探讨”，没错，但我觉得它更狠——它直接告诉你：你不是超人，你甚至救不了任何人，你只能先救自己。理查德最后撕掉稿纸去追艾比，那一刻我哭得稀里哗啦。不是因为他成功了，而是他终于放过了自己。这片子不适合追求刺激的观众，但如果你愿意静下心，它会像长岛的海风一样，慢慢吹走你心里的灰。豆瓣6.8分？我打8分，多出来的1.2分送给那个走出来的自己。
