    it's a dystopia alright, but what director did is he just exaggerated the current state our society is in, methinks
    loners considered losers, you declare yourself a loner - you immediately get an advice about getting a date, while other loners start telling you that no, it's not worth it, relationships are destructible and full of misery and suffering, be on your own and enjoy it
    movie tells us to strike a balance, and this statement alone is the first reason it became one of my favorites

    It's not like we don't live in such society. We became much more isolated and devoid of feelings and i can see how you would portray that in a movie = The Lobster. It is interesting that Dystopia is always "closer" to our world than Utopia is, although that might just be that Dystopia is much more easily achieved.

    • @nathanjora7627
      @nathanjora7627 5 років тому +11

      Ivo Hausknecht honestly, I disagree.
      Utopia is not harder to reach than dystopia, and we aren’t closer to dystopia than to utopia, only our own egocentricism and shortsightedness could make us think the opposite in my opinion.
      Just look at any period in history. Life is a combination of happiness and distress, of pain, misery, ignorance, hatred, benevolence, science, wealth and pleasure. Never in history has the balance of life tipped so much in favor of the latter, even in the worst hell on earth you could imagine. Take the worst country you could think of today, it has better prospect than 99% of past countries, and life is probably better there than it used to be for much of its history.
      The only exception to that, when humanity lives in relative abundance, without wars, and the burden of disease, was when our societies were so small that our lives were happy but empty, a time of bliss but ignorance, and fruitlessness.
      I mean, seriously, we live pretty darn near heaven right now, and got a long way away from hell. We become so much more isolated ? Are you kidding me ? Though it’s true, I won’t argue that we are more connected now than ever. Rather, I’ll point out that our wealth and knowledge allows on a massive scale what was impossible for much of our past on earth : true communion with he stranger. You think you are isolated ? Think about the time when you being integrated relies so heavily on your absolute obedience to social norms.
      We didn’t grow apart, we finally let go of our empire on others, these are two different things.

What a weird, strange, amazing, and absurd film. Great breakdown too! The ending left it so open-ended, it was great.

      The end isnt actually open, quite the contrary, but its quite understendable the confusion. When the credits are about to end, sea sounds like waves crashing start to being heard. This heaviely implies that the protagonist choose, using the options in this video, the third alternative: to fuck leave everything behind and actually become the (titular) lobster.

    The basic understanding of this is that we fear to be our true selves when being single as we fear that others who we want to be with will not simply match and like us.

    You jumped the fact that the narration is only made for three characters. Loner Leader, Near Sighted and David.
    This narration I think is actually a trait they share, an endless inner narration of everything they think and that happens.
    And why loner leader was also in love with David.

    I think it is also about extremism. We have a subject without an objectively right answer but most people can agree that living as a couple is probably better. But this disagreement becomes bigger and bigger and soon we have two sides that only allow one answer and cuts out the grey areas. Now the people in the middle are often forced to take one side, even though they dont want to.
