In the world of The Lobster, everyone has to find someone who has something in common with them to get married. This common ground is different from the common ground understood by our common sense—three views, character, character, etc. The common denominator of the strange flowers is that both of them are short-sighted, lame, and both suffer from nosebleeds. The first male partner was a lame man, and his ex-wife was also a lame man. Later, when he wanted to pursue a girl who always had nosebleeds, he broke his nose every once in a while, causing blood to flow everywhere, so the girl accepted him. If two people have nothing in common like short-sightedness, lameness, and frequent nosebleeds, they are not a good match and cannot be together. This plot looks ridiculous, what kind of match is this? Director, are you kidding me? Short-sightedness, lameness, and nosebleeds can all become criteria for choosing a mate, but it doesn't matter what the person's character is, whether the personality is compatible, and whether it will make him happy. Shouldn't two people get along with each other, shouldn't they have the same three views, and their character and personality attract each other?
But is this really a joke?
When I finish watching the movie and look back at reality, I feel frustrated and depressed.
Yes, shouldn't two people get along with each other because of the same three views, and their character and personality attract each other? Shouldn't the other half's integrity and good heart be more valued?
Not really.
In this materialistic society, what people value is often whether a person has money, status, a big house, and a salary that can make you worry-free. The other party can't afford to buy a 10 million house and give up a sincere love.
Yes, this is the cruel and sad reality, and what is even sadder is that countless people in all living beings agree with this view.
While people thought the story of myopia, lameness and nosebleeds as conditions for finding a mate was ludicrous, they thought it was wise to find someone with a family who could afford a $10 million house. What the hell is the difference between the two? Many people count on finding an object to change their lives in one step, just as many people in the story expect to find an object so that they will not be turned into animals.
In order not to be turned into a beast, he lost his personality in the end.
What a ridiculous outlook on life.
It was not until the male protagonist lost his brother and turned the spouse obtained in this way into an animal before he escaped from this distorted world. People are always like this, and you will never understand real life until you fall hard.
Unfortunately, just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den, he joined another strange group. This group prohibits members from falling in love, not even flirting. Not only that, but they also have a social activity - breaking up other people's families. Impressively, three men at gunpoint broke into the room of a high-ranking couple. They asked the man how much he loved his wife on a scale of 1-15, and the man said 14,. Then he asked the man who should die if he and his wife were to die. The man said that his wife should be killed. Then these guys gave the gun to the man, let the man kill his wife, and the man shot.
Ironically there is no bullet in the gun.
It is in such a neurotic society that the male protagonist falls in love with the female protagonist. When the female protagonist and the male protagonist eat a rabbit, and the male protagonist catches a lot of rabbits for her, everyone likes to hear it - look, this is love.
You see, not all girls want ten million, some want one thousand and one nights.
In order to be with the nosebleed woman, the nosebleed man breaks his nose from time to time to disguise their common ground. The male protagonist wants to blind himself in order to be with the blind mistress. But these two men actually had essential differences. One broke his nose in order not to turn into an animal, and the other blinded himself at the risk of being turned into an animal.
Girls occasionally encounter such noble love, but when such love comes to us, we often don't know how to cherish it. When we are in control, we always foolishly think that such feelings are abundant, but unfortunately they are rare.
I think when a group of people break into their room and force him to kill himself or the heroine with a gun, he should kill himself.
This is the difference between a noble love and a ten million house.
So, when love comes, please know how to cherish it.
