About the origin of singles, the movie tells us this-
A group of single men and women are imprisoned in a city hotel. They must find a matching partner within 45 days. The loser will be Transformed into an animal of his own choosing, he was exiled to the forest.
So, of course some people will choose dogs, such as the male protagonist’s brother (the movie proves that “single dogs” die miserably... we will discuss this later)
< p>The "singles" in the movie are still quite handsomeThen, here comes the question:
If such a hotel really existed, would you find a partner? Or choose to become a dog or other animal?
The male protagonist of the movie chose to be a lobster (well... more creative than a dog~)
A single lobster sounds like a noble character
The movie that Meow Star is going to talk about today is called "The Lobster".
A dystopian black comedy, it also has a more down-to-earth name "Single Zoo", which comes from the Greek ghost director Yorgos Lanthimos
This person Not too kind, because he told us that whether you are in love or single, there are always dangers and dangers
"The Lobster"
The Palme d'Or (Nominated), Main Competition Unit of the 68th Cannes Film Festival
Best British Film (nominated) at the 69th British Academy Film Awards Film Awards
Best Supporting Actress at the 18th British Independent Film Awards
Film 1 At the beginning, the male protagonist took his brother, who had become a "single dog", to the hotel mentioned above. On the first day of his stay, his hands were locked with handcuffs, in order to prevent masturbation, you know~ p>
In order to prevent single people from masturbating, the hotel specially arranges beautiful maids to provide special services to single men. It is unknown whether female guests have such services
Seems considerate and thoughtful , but it also has a hidden agenda. Do you think this is really a good thing? Don’t forget, you only have 45 days. The purpose of this is to stimulate desire and let you find a partner quickly, otherwise you will be exiled and hunted
Of course, the hotel also arranged dance parties and simulated sitcoms to improve your The matching rate of single men and women (similar to large-scale dating variety shows)
At the dance, men and women dress uniformly, blurring their external personalities, which should be similar to wearing school uniforms and work clothes
The sitcom simulates the different situations of being single and having a partner. For example, if you choke while eating, the single person will choke to death directly, while the person with a partner will be saved by the other party... and so on< /p>
Everything seems to be fine, so what are the rules for choosing a partner when staying in a hotel like this?
The answer is, matching
It seems that this is not a great rule, just like the normal love standard, but what is a real match? The director seems to be nakedly poking fun at this realistic and paradoxical law of love -
The hero's friend, in order to win the heart of a girl with a nosebleed, even gave himself a nosebleed
In order to gain the recognition of the "cold-blooded woman", the male protagonist did not hesitate to risk his own life. It was not until he found out that his brother (the one who had turned into a dog) was kicked to death that he finally woke up and fled the hotel
This single dog kicked to death by a "cold-blooded woman" made me feel cold all over
It is shameful to abuse animals, but please stop abusing single dogs
In fact, how can there be two people who are perfectly matched in the world? They are just so confident in being loved that their lover sacrifices themselves
The male protagonist finally sees through the world of mortals and escapes from this terrifying love hotel
There is a saying that if you give up a tree, you will get the whole forest (this seems to be the best comfort for the lovelorn), and our male protagonist really came to a forest
This is still a forest where only singles are allowed and no love is allowed
It is ruled by a female leader. Everyone who escaped from the hotel comes here. Whether they are humans or have turned into pigs, there are iron-clad rules here. ——The lover dies, or does not die well
When he came to the land of singles, the heartbroken male protagonist thought he had arrived in heaven, but unexpectedly, fate played a trick on him, and here he found true love< /p>
In the beginning, the male protagonist just helped the girl beat rabbits (why does the female protagonist love rabbits so much and hate rabbits so much? Could it be that the person she loved turned into a rabbit? This is also a story)
Later, it turned out that you can only eat the rabbits I sent you. This is love, right?
I couldn’t find a partner when I stayed in the singles hotel, but I got an unexpected harvest in the single forest. Love, our male protagonist is really naughty
But with such perverse behavior, will he really be happy?
Their love was discovered by the forest female leader, and the hero's beloved girl was persecuted and became blind.
In order to defend his love, the male protagonist takes his beloved girl to escape from the single forest
Don’t think that elopement is romantic. There is a popular saying that “It’s always easy to fall in love, but it’s too difficult to get along.” "Have you forgotten?
You can be desperate for love, but don’t forget the love standard mentioned above - matching
After escaping from the single forest, the two came to a restaurant
In order to "match" the blind girl, the male protagonist must make a difficult decision: to become a match for her
The words of the beloved woman in front of him made the male protagonist shudder even more
So, after ordering the food, the male protagonist told the female protagonist that he had to go to the bathroom...
Is he going to destroy his eyes or escape from the scene... ....
The movie went black at this moment and ended abruptly
Although there are a lot of speculations and reasoning on the Internet, most people said that the male protagonist ran away and heard the waves. The male protagonist finally turned into a lobster
And I like the open ending, but I have to say that selfishness is human nature
So, whether you are in love or single The capital is surrounded by dangers and dangers, so it’s better to act on it and cherish it (or protect yourself)
