Yesterday was Valentine's Day. For the majority of single dogs, with only a little blood, they are almost powerless to resist the full malice brought by the show of love all over the world.
But it doesn't matter, after this day when dog food is rampant, I have specially prepared a refreshing and healing spiritual food for you to instantly expose the dark and cruel nature of love for you.
The film "Lobster" was very high-energy from the beginning . The actor who entered the mid-life crisis was sitting on the sofa, showing half a tired profile. His wife was talking, but not in the picture - it turned out that she had cheated and was apologizing to her husband, but she was leaving him anyway. The hero only asked one question:
(Please choose C: black frame glasses, thank you.)
The male protagonist who lost his wife, brought his dog, was sent to a hotel far away from the city, and had an incredible check-in question at the front desk, including:
Relationship history, allergy history, sexual orientation, pets, etc. This conversation is full of information. When referring to his dog, the male protagonist said, "This is my brother. He has been here before, but he didn't succeed. You may still remember him."
That's right, in this movie, being single is sinful, and being single is illegal. The state has the right to regulate an individual's emotional state, and residents' marriages and relationships are strictly controlled and managed.
People who are single due to cheating, widowhood and other reasons will be forcibly moved to a hotel. They must find a partner within 45 days. The loser will be transformed into an animal of choice and exiled to the forest. .
The male protagonist's older brother was a loser and finally became a real single dog. But... fortunately, this animal can still be chosen by yourself. The male protagonist chose lobster, which was highly praised by the female housekeeper. She said: " Too many candidates for the dog, so have so many dogs in this world. "
So, how do you choose your partner? In the setting of the movie world, who can be paired does not depend solely on whether it is true love, but entirely on the similarities between the two. Both lame/myopia can fall in love, otherwise not.
What is incredible is that this so-called "good match" is very superficial, very superficial, and very mechanical and inflexible - only in this way can a rule that can be judged.
Being short-sighted means "having something in common". Like reading the same book doesn't count.
This logic may seem extreme, but it is not. In real life, don't we always use superficial and external characteristics such as appearance/education/height/cup to screen love?
In addition, there are all kinds of magical regulations in this hotel, which is specially used to convert single people.
For example, no personal items can be brought, everything will be taken away upon check-in. The exact same clothes were then handed out—blue shirts and suits for the men; for the women, a featureless floral suspender skirt.
In the end, everyone sat numbly in their chairs and waited for the assignment, maybe it should be called: depersonalization.
And lost the personality difference between people will be erased, will be uniform, it will self-doubt, will be easy to manage. Then, no matter how absurd the regulations can be accepted. For example: the belt is locked, the right hand is tied back, and DIY is strictly prohibited.
For example: every day the maid will come to the room to tease the male protagonist to promote "how beautiful life is with a partner", but only click on it and leave as soon as there is a reaction.
And if you want to deal with unvented sexual desire yourself, you must be forced to bake your hands in a bread machine.
For example: they have to attend classes every day and accept all kinds of mentally retarded or absurd brainwashing and propaganda.
The content includes but is not limited to: "What happens when a woman walks alone", "When a husband and wife eat together, the woman can help the man who is choked at any time" - this is a melodrama demonstration that promotes "love is happier than being single".
However, it is still a little difficult to find a desired partner within 45 days, so the hotel is also very flexible to give a way to extend the number of days: that is to hunt single escaped singles who do not want to be matched. Each time a single person is caught, it can be postponed for one more day.
In this state, the male protagonist, together with his friends in the same period, started the road of blind date and divorce. Of course, his road to divorce was not smooth. Soon...there's only one week left.
In order to get rid of it as soon as possible, he intends to approach a woman who is characterized by a hard heart. In order to pretend to be able to match her, the male protagonist must pretend to be a ruthless person, and also pretend that he loves this woman.
What he does is: when hunting, I wish there were real bullets in the gun instead of narcotics. In the end, he succeeded in getting the girl.
But when he was out for a walk, he accidentally showed a little warmth, which soon aroused the suspicion of the girl. In order to test whether the male protagonist was really a ruthless person, she took the male protagonist's brother -- the dog -- Kicked to death.
The male protagonist was very sad, and naturally he couldn't pretend to be hard-hearted, so he sent the woman into the conversion room to become an animal, and he escaped from the hotel, entered the jungle, and joined the League of Singles (or should be called the " single dog camp"). ”?) But the rules here are even scarier.
Because singleness is absolute, violating this is considered a betrayal. Mutual love, flirting, teasing are not allowed, otherwise they will be punished. The mouth that kisses will be cut off, the eyes that are secretly stunned will be stabbed blind, and the arms that hug will be chopped off.
Likewise, the League of Singles has been trying to overthrow the city's rule of violent marriage.
In one operation, with the help of the maids, the members of the Singles Alliance even sneaked into the hotel and broke up all the couples that could be separated. Even the "authorities" of the hotel housekeeper and the butler were not spared. The face of the system.
But the male protagonist has found true love in this radical singleism camp. The heroine appeared. She is a senior of the Singles Alliance. She is very skilled and capable. The male protagonist gets along with her day and night, and the relationship gradually warms up——
I'll be the bait, you help me make up for the prey; I teach you German, and you sing with me; I help you, you beat a rabbit for me to eat; The kiss was inextricable.
They fell in love secretly like this. Moreover, they also have one thing in common: myopia. The story seems to have a new turn and hope here, and the male protagonist's return to normal life is just around the corner.
They planned to leave the Singles' Union and be together above all else. But with the urine nature of this movie, how could it have a happy ending so easily?
In order to break up the love between the male and female protagonists, the female leader stabbed the real female protagonist in the eyes. If the male protagonist wants to continue to be paired with her, he must also poke his eyes, so as to maintain the common ground between the two.
Guess, the male protagonist resolutely blinded himself in exchange for the future of living with the female protagonist. Or give up this senseless self-mutilation and run alone to let the heroine return to celibacy?
Or, did he end up being a lobster anyway? Even, is the heroine really blind? (Part of the footage suggested that she was pretending to be blind and wanted to test the male protagonist)
Just as we don't know whether the knife to the male protagonist's eyes has finally fallen, the ending of the movie is also open-ended and does not explain the true ending of the male and female protagonists.
And if you look closely, you will find that what the movie wants to say is not just "single". It wants to express a lot.
For example, love itself is superficial and blind, and people judge people by their appearance.
For example, there is an overemphasis on sacrifice and consistency in love.
For example, the numbness and unfreedom brought about by marriage bondage.
For example, the rigid system emphasizes the loss of humanity brought about by the sense of collective.
For example, the discrimination and alienation of single/unmarried at the social and even national level.
What we can understand is actually very simple - forced singleness and forced love are not free, because the person who makes the choice is not himself, but the will of others.
As long as you don't live for yourself, being alone or not alone is shameful.
