high conceptual indifference

If this is an article of reading comprehension, it will be full of points... Because there are too many detailed analyses, I won't go into details. There should be many people who have written it
. Let me give you a few thoughts: a. , there is no bisexual option, you must choose homosexuality/heterosexuality, shoes are not half a size, clothing and work and rest must be exactly the same as others, black and white rules are pervasive and suffocating,
b. People do not fall in love with each other And the only way to stay together is to find the same points, people who are different can't survive,
c. If you can't find a mate in the city, you will be turned into an animal, and if you have feelings for anyone in the jungle, you will be executed. Any point of view or proposition will become a power once it is taken to extremes. Thinking of religion and feminism that have been controversial recently,
d. Resisting a partner in a blind date hotel, or looking for a lover in a forest of loners, human beings are inherently rebellious.
The film as a whole expresses a sense of futuristic sci-fi. The lens tones and characters' costumes are all cool colors such as black, blue, white and gray. The characters' lines are mechanically rigid and seem to have no emotions, but the absurd words spoken in a serious manner create a special kind of black humor. The ideas and concepts are very new, with strong irony, but lack of flexibility. I feel that the film has already printed "I'm going to start mocking here" on the screen. The audience does not have enough space for independent thinking, and the second half of the process is slightly delayed.

    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] One day, as he was playing golf, he thought that it is more difficult to pretend that you do have feelings when you don't than to pretend you don't have feelings when you do.

  • Short Sighted Woman: [narrating] Some punishments are worse than other punishments. Having your thumb cut is worse than having your head shaved. And having a hot boiled egg under your armpit is worse than having your leg kicked. The punishment I am afraid of isn't the Red Kiss but another one, that is called the Red Intercourse. I have never seen it happen, but it's not difficult to imagine what it means.
