First, this society is not high-tech no matter how you look at it. Instead, there is a sense of closure and gradual decline everywhere.
Second, when it comes to the process of transformation, dissection and blood collection are too casual, and it's just like dealing with rabbits, which also explains the problem of the male protagonist dealing with short-haired, cold-blooded women.
The third lame made it very clear that in the end everything was death, so he must be successful in the pairing. Cripple is a clear-eyed representative of the government. And the ugly big tongue is a simple representative of the ignorant people living in the government's lies. The male protagonist is probably the most like us, a confused representative who does not want to give in and is not firm.
Therefore, everyone knows about this result and tacitly understands each other, which also explains that everyone, including the adopted little girl, is indifferent and even cruel, because the environment is like this. In fact, when you are informed that you are going to the hotel, everyone is mentally prepared that they will eventually die. It is nothing more than the government giving you one last chance. You can kill the forest organizer, or pretend to be a lame man.
And pairing must have a ridiculous pairing standard, which is the government's test standard. The standard for successful pairing is not love, and something like love cannot be concreted, so the film gives such a standard, and you can meet the standard. So the heroine and the hero clearly love each other but cannot match. This is very interesting, and I even think that marriage in reality is like this. Fit and being together seems to be the most long-term and stable guarantee. And the ultimate direction of love is not marriage, love is just love. Why didn't two people get married right away when they first fell in love? Because they have to consider whether they are suitable for each other, whether they can get along well in life, and other factors. And once you start thinking about these, love is no longer love, and this relationship becomes a pairing, so it seems that the requirements in the movie are lower, just one.
For the society in the film, people who don't get married have no value in existence and must be disposed of or turned into combat power. As for the reason, I have always wondered. If it is for fertility issues, the video gives tips on adoption and birth control pills. Or is this a question given by the director? What is marriage for? Why do you have to die if you don't match?
Forest organization is another antithesis, absolute singletonism. Compared with the civilization on the surface of the hotel, the forest is cruel and cold-blooded. But since it is the opposite, these cruelties should also be corresponding, there is oppression before resistance, the law of nature. The Foresters have always been in the position of being arrested. Their offense is only to destroy the pairing, not to eliminate them. The team leader did not bury the male lead alive but blinded the female lead. In the end, it did indeed destroy the relationship between the pair. I don't think the hotel staff will deal with the Forester directly if they catch him. They should let him re-enter the hotel. The two camps each recruit members to strengthen their beliefs.
I think this movie is very interesting, it makes real problems concrete and very reasonable, and the whole structure is very logical and nonsense. The pictures and music are also beautiful. But I wouldn't want to watch it a second time. . .
