The film mainly tells about the growing confusion about desire and sex of the younger generation in a family with a hobby of eating raw human flesh, to reveal the moral dilemma of human nature and animal nature. The main line is the conflict between cannibalism and moral civilization, the sexual awakening is only a secondary line, and the character conflicts are mainly sisters and sisters, parents and two sisters. The structure of the film becomes clear, the so-called cannibalism is just a way of expression, as for disgust, horror, heavy taste, and challenges to the bottom line of human nature, it varies from person to person. Anyway, I am disapproving of many so-called bloody scenes. The lens is disgusting. Well, yes, I watched it while I ate! (Strong, handsome and hard-faced)
First, let’s talk about the art presentation of the film in general. The story characters in the camera are youthful and restless, but the camera itself seems to present everything to the audience calmly and objectively. In the description of some details, it will bring the camera closer, forming a great contrast. of absurdity. In addition, the widescreen ratio of 2.35:1 makes the picture narrower and more oppressive. The opening scene of the freshman orientation is dark but rich, and the gloomy tones of the opening shot of the highway set the tone for the film. The electronic psychedelic soundtrack and the distortion effect are very suitable for the scene of college students releasing their self-indulgence and sinking, which can be described as a highlight.
Going back to the movie story, if the University of Veterinary Medicine represents a small society, then this is the intersection of moral human nature and animalistic desire, providing the soil for awakening human and animalistic nature. As a medical student, one foot stands on the moral standpoint of contributing to human medicine, and the other foot steps on the river of blood that can be slaughtered at will. It is not so much that Justine, who advocates vegetarianism, was ridiculed and teased at the beginning of the school year by the old birds in all kinds of bloody and animalistic entrance ceremonies and opened up a new world. A place of catharsis.
From others ridiculing her for being a virgin, shedding her pubic hair, old birds drenched in male yellow and female blue paint mixed into green, to gay roommates; from dancing alone in front of the mirror in her sister's mature and sexy dress with red lips In the club, when you are drunk and kiss people, the sprouting and awakening of sex is not only caused by hormones, but more like the release of instinct and the catharsis of anger for many years of abstinence.
From being a virgin to conquering a male roommate who has been in the female position for more than ten years, to eating raw sister's accidentally cut off middle finger, the soundtrack of distorted electronic psychedelic style hits the second of the first taste of human flesh, reaching people's hearts. Going straight to the depths of human nature, the joy and excitement that could no longer be suppressed burst out with panic and anxiety. This scene is iconic in the film, the first time Justine has allowed instinctual bestiality to leapfrog ethics. But the elder sister responded to this move with tears. It is difficult to say that the tears were anger, surprise, or the relief and fear that the two sisters were sympathetic to each other. But like Adam and Eve who ate the forbidden fruit, panic and guilt followed, whipping in the quilt was like a condemnation of moral humanity, but when the sister dragged her to the corpse while she was drunk After being publicly teased and humiliated, Justine pointed the blame at her sister.
Animal nature is like a spring, the more you suppress it, the more it wants to break through the moral cage, and it will be a matter of time before it collapses. On the surface, she is proud to be stronger, but she is jealous of her smart and excellent younger sister, and her lust for carnal desire finally prompted her sister Alexia to bite her male roommate Adrien to death. The uncontrollable animal nature not only broke out of the prison of morality, but also broke through the bottom line of human nature. At this point, the climax of the film ends.
But there are a few notable details
First , when Justines was allergic to the skin of the rabbit's internal organs, the old doctor told her a story about a fat girl. The fat girl was shocked that the old doctor was the first doctor to see her without asking her weight. The doctor Very puzzled: "This has nothing to do with your condition, why ask?"
The second is that the two went back to the room after the two beat each other and bit each other. My sister cleaned Justine's wound, put tape on it, and walked out of the room. If I said that my sister is already a beast who can cause many car accidents in order to eat raw human flesh, Justine hesitated. Or choose not to lock the door.
Thirdly, when Justine found out that it was her sister who killed her roommate, she held the ski pole at her sister's forehead seriously and indifferently and angrily. After glaring for two seconds, her brows tightened slightly, her eyes faintly filled with tears, and she put down the ski pole.
Fourth , the faces of the elder sister and the younger sister were double-imaged in the glass. In the end, the younger sister put the scar on her face bitten by the elder sister on the glass, and the elder sister kissed gently.
At the end of the film, Dad lifts his shirt, revealing all the scars, and says I believe you will find your solution. The hobby of cannibalism turned out to be a bit blunt and unreasonable because of hereditary settings. Some bean friends said that the biggest bug in the whole article is that the spiritual motive of cannibalism is unclear, and it can only be classified as nonsense heredity. If a virtual world is constructed like "The Lobster", the virtual society has its own unique operating rules, which will be more rational and absurd. Personally, I think it makes sense, after all, the handling of the ending has somewhat weakened the sense of conflict and absurdity created earlier. But from another angle, if the background of the story is happening in the real world like ours, will the audience feel more creepy (like)?
People in the primitive era would eat people in order to survive, but with moral progress and the evolution of civilization, cannibalism is naturally not tolerated by social ethics. Human beings, as an animal, have their instinctive animal nature and desires, but as a high-level species with thoughts, emotions, and self-awareness, they also possess moral humanity, which differentiates them from animals. Are animal nature and human nature necessarily opposed to each other? As long as you admit that you are a "human", you are admitting the animal instincts and desires in you. I thought that human nature exists on the basis of animal nature, and without animal nature, the progress and existence of human nature will lose its meaning. As mentioned earlier, cannibalism is just an expression of animal nature and desire. Everyone has desire. Desire is like a man's dick. You don't need to stand in front of a naked beauty, and you will get erections from time to time. If you always suppress the erection of desire, you may end up cutting off the dick to self-destruction, or cutting off other people's dick to destroy others (such as the mother's indoctrination of abstinence and vegetarianism to her daughter in the film), or extreme release. Desire to rape others (as Alexia ends up stabbing Adrien and eating his thigh).
From a certain point of view, desire is neither good nor bad, and morality is not necessarily a prison. When desire is regarded as a beast, morality also becomes a cage; when morality is a scale in the heart instead of an iron cage that suppresses everything, desire will not become a wild beast; there is no bondage of a cage , why does desire need to be a beast to break out of the cage?
People always like to look up to the divinity, trying to wash away the animal nature, but they don't know that if they lose their humanity, they lose a lot, and if they lose their animal nature, they lose everything. It is better to face up to one's own animal nature and constantly improve one's human nature, so that it may be possible to get a little closer to the divine nature.

The girl is good to abstain from any desires, eat any vegetarian food, eat some meat, grow some meat, and even a slightly fat girl can be alluring!
