The instability of "love" in human nature vs the fixedness of modern love relationships

The Lobster ("The Lobster"): A

strong European indie feel, full of satire and dark humor. It aims to satirize the contradiction between the instability of love in human nature and the fixedness of modern love relationships:

(1) Modern people either tie themselves to a relationship between two people, but in fact this relationship may have been lost (or even not at all) never had) its core - love, and only the shell of "relationship" is left, but because of some reality and pressure, Ta has to maintain this "relationship". If the two are at peace and respect each other, they may be able to maintain it forever; but if a major conflict breaks out between the two, they will even turn into enemies. ——The story that happened in the first half of the hotel, the heatless woman killed the protagonist's dog, and the protagonist transformed her into some kind of animal.
(2) Either define himself as single, but in fact may suddenly fall in love with someone, however, when he is really ready to enter into a love relationship with someone and asks him to make sacrifices, he may suddenly fall in love with someone again. Realize that your love for the other person is actually not as deep as you think. ——The story of the Jungle Squad in the second half of the story, the failed eye digging.

So, what is the so-called "love" in human nature, is it really stable and continuous, or is it just some kind of special, unstable human feeling in its essence?
Furthermore, what exactly is the most suitable love relationship for "people"?

Just as a souvenir to see the first movie in Cambridge, it was a free movie at the E4 Slackers Club. Being able to confuse the above content shows how I understand 80% of it (although I still missed some stalks...); and, it is estimated that The Lobster will not be able to swim into the theater of my Great Celestial Dynasty in a hundred years.

    The hotel does not allow single dogs, the city pays attention to matching families, and the extreme couples in the woods (countryside) die together... It's a true portrayal of the world. The narrative and soundtrack are quite retro... Actually, I think a soundtrack with a minimalist impression like "Into the House" should be used.

    The soundtrack is slightly explosive, and the final open-ended ending is kind enough; the same fable world is more fun than "Dogtooth", and in some places there is a bit of new wave meaning.

The Lobster quotes

  • Short Sighted Woman: [narrating] You carefully filet the rabbit with a sharp knife, and cut off its head. You then slice open its belly and stuff it with well washed red and green peppers, not too spicy, and little garlic and mint. You then soak it in lemon juice and leave it a while to marinate the flesh before you skewer it on a stick and roast it over the fire for about an hour. That's my favorite food. Rabbit.

  • Hotel Manager: Now have you thought of what animal you'd like to be if you end up alone?

    David: Yes. A lobster.

    Hotel Manager: Why a lobster?

    David: Because lobsters live for over one hundred years, are blue-blooded like aristocrats, and stay fertile all their lives. I also like the sea very much.
