Personal opinion on details in the movie

Let’s talk about the setting of this world first. The worldview belongs to the category of right and wrong, that is, there are only two opposite sides, and there is no intermediate state. It can be seen from many places: if
you can't find a partner within the specified time, you will be turned into an animal, which means that it is correct to be in a pair, and you will be punished alone. . . (It's scary to think about it, but it's a good choice for controlling the population and gender ratio... Damn, what am I thinking, is it going to be assimilated by utopian thinking?! Contemplative.)
The male protagonist wants 42 and a half There are no shoe sizes, only whole numbers. (Emphasis on the paranoia of this world, saying that the person who came up with this idea is either a Virgo or an obsessive-compulsive disorder...)
Partners must have something in common to be together. Here are a few examples to talk about:
1. The lame man complained about not being able to find a female partner and a new group of people came, he forgot whether it was the male lead or the fat man comforted that the lame man and a woman were also lame . The implication is that the probability of success will be much higher if they have something in common, but the lame man said that the woman was only stunned to the foot, so it was not possible.
2. When a lame man deliberately picks up a nosebleed woman in the swimming pool, he asks her which of the four swimming styles she prefers, which means that if the nosebleed woman says she likes breaststroke, there is something in common, because the lame man likes breaststroke, and as a result, nosebleeds The woman said she liked all four, but the lame man had nothing to do with him. He could only have something in common with the woman with a nosebleed by deliberately bumping his nose and causing him to have a nosebleed. (This scheming Boy~ However, when the male protagonist went on the yacht in the middle and told the truth to the nosebleed girl, it could be regarded as revenge on the lame man. Because the male protagonist also liked nosebleed girls at the beginning, from the very beginning, he went to chat, dance and go on the yacht. Just to expose the lame man.)
3. The common point of the male protagonist and the female protagonist is short-sightedness, which is why the male protagonist is so nervous and paranoid when he sees a man (a former pilot) giving the female protagonist a rabbit I'm afraid that he also has something in common with the heroine and will take away his heroine. (It's really absurd here, and the filming is great) And the female captain deliberately tricked the heroine into doing surgery to blind her just to cancel the common ground between them, it's obvious that she never killed her. There is a male protagonist who wants to blind himself and also wants to find something in common with the female protagonist, because I keep asking her if she likes this and that, just to see if there are other things in common, but it turns out that there is no, so This is the last resort, but I don't think the male protagonist will blind him in the end. . . In the end, the heroine was abandoned. . . (Here it is obvious that the male protagonist loves the female protagonist, but he is paranoid about finding common ground to have a reason to be together, which shows the absurdity of this worldview in a deeper way.)
There is also a terrifying detail that is short and ruthless at the beginning of the film. The woman killed her ex-husband. . . Even if he turned into an animal, he couldn't have a partner, and the donkey next to him should be her husband's partner after turning into a donkey. . . This woman is horrible. . .
I can't think of too much for now, I'll add more when I think of it.

The Lobster quotes

  • Biscuit Woman: Can I come to your room sometime for a chat? I could give you a blowjob. Or you could just fuck me. I always swallow after fellatio and I've got absolutely no problem with anal sex if that's your thing. My ex-husband always used to say I had the most beautiful thighs he'd ever seen, but let's not talk about him.

  • Trainer Waiter - Shooting Range: It's no coincidence that the targets are shaped like single people and not couples.
