A guy who’s job is to remove people, to get rid of them… his speeches about “lightening your backpack” by distancing yourself from others that slow you down… At the end of the film he stops desiring 10 million miles or a passion to keep his job in-person rather than online, but instead he develops a sense of loneliness.  By falling in love with Alex (who turned out to have a whole life of her own), motivating her sisters husband about the value of marriage, and understanding the affect that firing has on people’s lives via a suicide… Ryan finally notices the fact that he has been alone for so long, and he’s just been filling that empty space with distractions.  The value that human connection serves is the realization that Ryan earns at the end of the film, but he still doesn’t get the physical thing— he remains alone.

Some of the best performances I’ve seen in a small indie film before. The relationship between Sammy and Burt was incredibly believable… with funny moments and emotional ones, too. Steve is also a great character. Every little plot detail or side story comes into play by the end of the film. Great movie.

At this point the toys stop feeling like toys and start interfering with every human decision

Great adaptation
