To be precise, I watched 97% last night. I woke up this morning and watched 3
After reading some of the only film reviews, there are reflections and disputes. The premise is that this is a dystopian romance film.
I first thought the movie was about something like a wall. There are three levels. The first male protagonist has rules in the matching hotel. It is better to become an animal without a partner for 50 days, and if they are in love, they must be similar (matching each other? A perfect match in people's eyes) and there can be no deception or concealment; When the male protagonist escapes to the single escape team, there are also various cruel regulations that prohibit sex and love. As far as the rules of each class are particularly extreme, this is not marriage and must be suitable, and if you are single, you cannot have a little bit of affection; finally, at the third point, the heroine who was finally discovered because of her relationship was blinded. eyes, so he finally used a knife to poke his own eyes, and the heroine was plain and used to it. I think this is the most terrifying and terrifying in the end. Even if the two finally escape to the town, the perfect match is still the rules between them. Concession; it is the heroine's recognition of the equal price paid in the relationship between the two, and it is also the heroine's compromise and fall for the public's aesthetics, as well as the human nature's right to condescend and cruelly suffocate some people. In other words, this kind of shackles formed by the public judgment in the matching hotel has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if they have been free, this kind of conceptual shackles still exist.
I just read a few comments from netizens, and then some critical torture occurred: Do you have to be the right one to get married? Does it have to look like a good match for outsiders? Do you have to have something in common to be right together? How much of our true selves do we hide in the relationship between the sexes, and we dress ourselves up (houses, cars, plastic appearances, personalities, words and deeds) into the so-called beautiful appearance of the other party and our own imagination? What so-called love can be cultivated slowly, and having a child is the bond that maintains love, or is it a bondage?
The movie puts the people who are about to be paired into a luxurious cage, and puts the single traveler into the thorny forest, which actually contains the prejudice and values of many mainstream society. Single people (especially older singles) or unmarried people are still a problem for everyone in today's society, and the mundane life of getting married, having children and tending sheep seems to be the perfect life trajectory and survival that the whole society is sticking to. guidelines.
The third level of life. Everyone says that it is the mountain or the mountain, not the world. Said to cry. Now let's reminisce.
"If we put all our energy into getting married now, we want to share the future, we have to share the house, and regard the house as an important basis for our life imagination. Your imagination will be limited, and then all your imaginations about this marriage will be based on the attitude of this society. You put the happiness of your life in the hands of others, delaying your attention to true happiness. point."
"I think our culture is overly advocating tolerating this matter. I think it's our laziness. I saw a lot of literati hanging in the room - the words "rarely confused"; then I saw a lot of people on the Internet saying - - If you lose these five words seriously, I have seen many mothers-in-law persuade their daughters-in-law to turn a blind eye when they get married. I don't like these attitudes at all. Why are there so many people in our culture who once respected The creators of many people stop creating after a certain age, because they no longer have trouble with their lives. I think it is a pity that everyone becomes open-minded in the end. Our culture values tolerance, tolerance, tolerance and Wisdom, in the end everyone becomes a Buddha, and then those who should paint don’t paint, those who should make music don’t make music, those who should write novels don’t write novels, all of them become cross-legged and become immortals there, we Excessive admiration for tolerance makes us indifferent to many things. What is tolerance is to pretend that nothing is wrong and let it pass, and the price is that you pretend that there is nothing, it will pass, and then you will be even less motivated to ask for it the second time. Find fault, you will say that I put up with it last time, is this time more serious than the last time. You let something pass three times, and you are no longer interested in pursuing it. Why do husbands and wives become cold, because If we don't want to pursue each other any more, we feel that life is nothing more than this, and the world is not worth it. So why do we respect tolerance so much, do we want everyone to become a monk and become a monk. So if you can't help it, don't mess with it, the one that reveals is Our passion for life. You don't make trouble with yourself, you don't care about anything in the end, and we end up looking at our life indifferently. You feel that the things I haven't accomplished in my life will be passed on to the children, and then they will push it. For their children, when will this wish come true? Tolerance is not the highest state, tolerance will cause us to not care, and not caring will make us lose the taste of life."
In fact, the reason at the beginning of the movie is that the male protagonist's wife cheated, so the male protagonist was single and brought to the matching hotel. (This is the understanding of a netizen. "This movie is about: If you lose your true love, how will you choose. 1. Find someone who truly loves you at the right age to marry, and you can't cheat and hide. 2. Can't find For true love, you can only choose a way of life that you think is okay, and continue to live like that—change into an animal. 3. In order to wait for true love, you will persevere no matter how hard you are.”) Netizens have a certain truth, but I think The role of just at the beginning is a cause, a psychological foreshadowing. The male protagonist came out of the first failed relationship, but his heart has not yet recovered, but he was brought into the matching hotel, just like the end of a relationship in our life. After that, I didn’t have time to reflect. Whether it was yourself or your friends and family members, they were eager to get you into the next relationship, thinking that this would help you get rid of the previous relationship, or that friends and relatives who used caring as an excuse to look at you in the oppressive status of close and distant relationships. Entering the next relationship is actually the imposition of a new round of moral concepts, which will involve you in the shackles of the next ethical relationship. Going back to Qian Zhongshu's book - the besieged city, the wall built by human nature, if you want to go out, you will become an animal. (“Marriage is a besieged city. Those outside the city want to go in, and those in the city want to come out.”)
Finally, let’s end with (?A lobster) itself, and talk about the meaning of the movie name lobster, which is also just an epiphany hahaha. At the beginning of the movie, the male protagonist said that when the pairing fails, the reason becomes the lobster. The reason is: "The lobster can live for more than 100 years, retain the noble blue blood in the body, and maintain fertility for life, and I like the sea very much.... .."
— "Now have you thought of what animal you'd like to be if you end up alone?"
—“Yes. A lobster.
Because lobsters live for over one hundred years...
...are blue-blooded like aristocrats...
...and stay fertile all their lives.
I also like the sea very much.
I waterski and swim quite well, since I was a teenager.”
In fact, this is the love or life that the male protagonist yearns for, and it is also the key and (love view) attitude towards life that the director wants to convey. Uninhibited, always curious, always full of tears...
