He said, I will use this knife to get it done, it won't take too long, [for a lifetime at most].

The whole plot makes me feel awkward watching it all the time. I don't want my cat to sleep next to me. I always feel that he is my brother who hasn't let go. . -
-Well, let's be serious.

[About the movie itself]
At the beginning of the movie, a woman drives a donkey straight, and then suffocates it with a shot. Then another donkey went over and looked at the dead donkey. If I hadn't read the introduction to the movie, I would have been in a circle when I came up, because I couldn't understand what it was doing.
But when I reacted, I felt that the future was pretty good. If I divorced or broke up with a person, if he didn't find the other half, he would become a small animal. If I hate him to the bone, then I will always kill a small animal. Don't break the law, eh. . Is this a legal loophole?
After that, I started a movie awkward journey that lasted for nearly two hours, because since I saw the male protagonist's brother is a dog, I have always felt that the cat sleeping on my stomach is my brother who is not divorced. . . And I have been thinking, if my days are like this countdown day by day, if I can't find someone I will become a small animal, what will I choose to become. Anyway, it is definitely not a common small animal, and it is definitely not an animal in the ocean, or an animal that can be served on the dining table, because I don’t want people to keep it, I’m afraid of water, and I don’t want to be eaten by people. . Maybe I will choose to become an inexplicable species that is about to become extinct. I am the last one left. I have no sex and no love in my life, and finally I will die alone. When I die, I can make a headline, saying that the last remaining blabla small animal in the world is To die peacefully on a certain day in a certain year in a certain year, well, it can be regarded as a proper death.
Well, I strayed, and pulled back.
In this strange hotel, every couple must have one thing in common, and I also took the time to think about my own characteristics, not lame legs, no nosebleeds, and no butter biscuits. . Ah, yes, I'm short-sighted, eh. If in reality, everyone who wants to pair with them also relies on such superficial commonalities to get together, will it really last for a long time? Ah, but another me will refute this me. The beginning of every relationship starts with a common language or common hobby. . How can two people who have nothing to do with each other get together? [Yes, that's right, both of them like to get everything done, then take a shower, and go to bed directly after taking a shower, which is also a common point! . 】
In fact, I was really mad when I saw the male protagonist and his dog brother died. I was quite satisfied that he could throw that short-haired woman into the transformation room. This kind of person should say goodbye as soon as possible, the world does not need such cold blood people exist. I'm just curious what he turned her into, it must not be a lobster because he must not want her to live 100 years and be sexually capable all the time lol.
Well, to be honest, I have thought that the male protagonist will meet true love after escaping. It's generally like this. When you deliberately look for it, fate hides in the corner and hides with you, just not letting you find it; when you give up, it feels good to be alone, and you want to live by yourself. When the day came, this guy suddenly came out again, stood in the big sun and said to you: hi, I've been here all the time, you see you've found all the places but you didn't look around, I've always been here you fool. But I always feel that the two are only together because they are both short-sighted, very black humor. The male protagonist also took a look at his rival's eyeballs for a long time to see if he had contact lenses.
As for the female boss of the anti-love group, I always feel that she likes the male protagonist somewhat, and I can't find any specific reason, maybe because she doesn't want to be bitten by a wild dog. .
After the heroine became blind, I somehow felt that the hero couldn't find anything in common with her. She can't see anymore, what's the point of being nearsighted or not, she doesn't know German, and sign language doesn't make sense. She became a woman who would say kiwi to a tennis player. Every day she would only reach out for a hare to eat. What else is there to like.
So he asked for a butter knife, and spent a lifetime that would not be too long, leaving the heroine in her seat.
Just like a hotel couple, it doesn't matter if it's true love, but when trust is lost, love is gone. So I think this film is somewhat cruel. It tells you that there is no one you can't live without. In the face of life and death, or in the face of pain (whether psychological or physical), people care more about themselves, not that So-called lovers with common interests, although it makes people really sad.
Maybe the male protagonist finally wakes up and realizes that he does not need to seek "common ground" to be with a person he really likes. In the end, the two people may also be together. The male protagonist plays the role of "you are my eyes". I've been with the heroine all my life.
Of course, I think it is more likely that [according to the applause and the sound of the waves after the black screen at the end], the male protagonist was taken back to the hotel, chose another "myopia" person to fall in love with, and then broke up again, and finally became him The lobster that I hope to become will live in the sea all my life, but I can reproduce all my life, but no shrimp can reproduce. I want to love all my life, but no one is cute.


[Several questions]
At the beginning of the movie, the male protagonist checked into the hotel and his right hand was tied. The hotel manager said: In order to make you feel the inconvenience of having only one hand. Why has to be this way? Can't figure it out. .
Why did the butter biscuits jump off the building? Just because no one wants to love her, and she can't capture the lonely one, so there's not much time left?
Why was the "friend" of the male protagonist punished for masturbating? Can a single dog have freedom? And why did the hotel manager say that I would pay more attention to the horse instead of the naked woman? In the end, did this beautiful friend die in the woods?
Also, why do those who strive to oppose love exist? Is it to create this kind of conflict for the film? Some people are passionately pursuing love, while others are blindly opposed to love. .

The last ultimate question, what did those people who appeared in the hotel initially choose to become? I really want to know the answer. .

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.
