Weirdest movie I've seen this year. Why can't being single be absorbed by the mainstream consciousness of society? Why should the so-called good match between partners be defined by higher social laws? Why do humans become value machines without knowing it? In this film's black and white, dystopian story frame, the director uses my favorite dark humor and film language rich in irony and metaphor to tell a story that makes people laugh, but also makes people think.
Thinking about our real society, isn't it actually happening a lot of the time? Single dog, leftover girl, forced marriage, aren't these words all formed under such values? Most people are actually judging others by their own measure of value. Such a society, we live in it without knowing it.
