become
single animals will eventually be transformed into animals without thoughts. Such a setting may describe that if people do not actively look for their other half, they should lose their minds like animals. The hotel's training in the film also constantly uses vulgar scenes to illustrate the benefits of having a partner, which is childish and ridiculous. When asked what animal to choose to become, the male protagonist chose to become a lobster, what was his purpose? Some viewers believe that lobsters are monogamous and devoted, indicating the male protagonist's emotional personality. And I think the lobster has a hard shell and sharp double pincers, which is a symbol of self-defense, and the first choice after encountering danger is to retreat, which is more like an insinuation of the hero's cowardice and retreat in spite of difficulties. . Therefore, it is better to explain at the end of the open-ended, not daring to poke blind eyes and escape, which is more in line with the character of the protagonist.
The short-haired girl
is a cruel character, but it is the character that I think is most in line with the director's consciousness. This character should embody the most recognized character traits of the director. This woman was cold-blooded and ruthless, but she did not succumb to either the couple in the city or the single in the woods. She chose to insist on finding her true love through her own efforts. Even if she finally found out that the true love was fake, she did not choose to compromise. But resolutely decided to expose. However, this character still delays his destiny by hunting singles according to the hotel's rules, which is obviously a surrender to the rules, which seems to reveal a bit of helplessness in the director's bones for destiny.
Satire
From the beginning to the end of the whole film, the characters' words and deeds reveal irony, and the irony that the author is most keen on is the scene where the female manager of the hotel is attacked. That injury could be more deadly than that shot, and perhaps destroying the manager's belief in a true love partner by this point can really break people down. The scene where the female leader of the single group goes home appears many times, which is also a few warm moments in the whole film. The reunion with the family finally made the viewers feel a little more comfortable, and this was also a rare opportunity for the male and female protagonists to have open and intimate contact. The female leader thought they were fake, but they were real; the family thought they were real, but they were fake. In this world full of lies and deceit, there is almost no sense of trust, and the moral values of the whole world seem to be shaky, making people feel better than being blind. The From North
film has a very small format, a simple story, and a less complicated plot conflict. It is obviously a low-budget independent film type, but it can include Rachel Weisz, Lea Seydoux, and Colin Farrell. At least the author will find it unbelievable that many superstars participate in the performance. However, no matter how great the acting skills of the superstars are, they still cannot expand such a small pattern. The overall strength of the film is lacking in durability, and the visibility is not strong.
