The Lobster (2017)

Well, that was certainly an interesting movie. Weird, but very interesting. The movie is basically a case study on relationships and the lengths that someone would go to find love or to just not be alone, and others just fine being alone.

Colin Farrell did a great job playing this sad, kind of pathetic, male figure. And hes basically okay with how he is. Hes not sad that he is the way he is but later on he tries to be different, but its mostly for others. Like him acting like an asshole to that little girl to impress the psycho dog-killing bitch lady. Or him knowing how to catch, kill, and flay a rabbit for his mate. Maybe thats just the animal instinct in all of us. When it comes to the relationship, I found it fascinating that both characters, even though they seemed to deeply love each other, they love themselves more. When the Rabbit Lady (does she have a name?) gets blinded by the jealous Loner Leader, she asks her Why didnt you blind him instead? And then the last scene David is last seen wanting to gouge his eyes out, but I dont think he did it. Why would you want to do that? It would be best if ONE of them could see to help the other out, but it was obvious that he was growing tired of assisting her. I guess true love is taking a bullet, or in this case, your eyes out to be on that same wavelength. But relationships are funny, on any given day you might love your other more than they love you, and vice-versa.

Anyways, I would NOT have picked a lobster. Im more a dog person but I think Id choose to be a cat.

8/10
