Anyone else went to see this? I want to talk about it.
We don't discuss anything here unless it wears a cape

/tv/ the kino
>first half: cynical view of how traditional people view marriage
>second half: cynical view of how non-traditional rebels see marriage and want to destroy everything about it
>tfw you find love but you're too cynical from all these different perspectives now.
And I thought I went IN the movie blind...
>>70591725
Fillipou is the epitome of DUDE (ridiculous idea) LMAO
>>70591842
This, it feels like a hipster fantasy disguising an immature culture refusing to grow up accept the responsibility of adulthood.
/rk9/ the movie
I feel like it's false advertising,not 1 lobster in the whole movie
dont really wanna talk about it anymore cuz true patricians saw it in December
>>70591842
>First half: You're condemned for being alone.
>Second half: You're condemned for finding someone.
Is watching this what going to a film festival is like? Because it had all the signs
>foreign, specifically heavy dutch and french
>bleak as all hell
>huge anti-conformatist message
>many scenes where they just sit there in silence
>sex/lewd scenes for seemingly little more reason than risqué shock value
I thought it dragged on after he left the hotel.
that scene when they're sending signals to each other in the woods. thinking noone else notices
LOL
>this is what new couples look like trying to hide in plain sight
>>70592070
Really suprised they never got that knife-kiss thing. But just make the bitch blind, whatever
Why did the loners stay at the perimeter of the hotel? Couldn't they just live in peace out of the hotel/cityscape?
>>70592041
no, festival films feature less budget and more nigs and trannies
hamfisted biopolitical metaphorsI loved it
also this >>70591956
also >>70591725 what do you wanna talk about?
>>70592325
Well for starters I didn't quite understand what the purpose of the opening scene was. I forgot who the lady was, why did she shoot the donkey? I can only assume it was previously someone but I can't figure out who.
>>70592398
ex wife shot the her ex husband (now a donkey)
love is complex
>>70592555
Oh ok.
Now as for that little heist the loners pulled off, why? To get couples to break up? What's the point behind that? Or are they just trying to make everyone single without a care for what it will do to thier wellbeing?
>>70592691
they're like liberals, they want to destroy everything institutionalized.
Best scene is where John C Riley was holding MC at gunpoint
> liked Dogtooth
> liked The Lobster
How I do into Greek cinema, lads?
5/10 film at best.
I'm honestly surprised that the guy who made Dogtooth followed it up with this relatively straight-forward quirky lawlmuhgerdmeme allegory.
>>70593009
What was the allegory?
>>70592802
I'm now imagining an episode of Steve Brule where he says something like
>If I were ever to get turned into a amamal, I'd wanna be a parrot
>>70593045
How society wants you to act a certain way.
>>70593393
That's exactly what Dogtooth was about lol
>>70593045
>dating is equally hard for both sexes.
>>70593045
>woman walks alone
>gets raped
>>70592001
screwed if you do, screwed if you don't
>>70593045
>mating ritual
>societal expectations
>society without marriage expectations
>do you ever really know your partner
after knowing all these thing, would you commit?
>>70593665
lol thats not it
>>70591956
>December
>he wasn't at Cannes
Fucking pleb
why do people forget the first scene?
>>70593817
Because who was that lady?
>>70593894
But was she a character in the rest of the movie?
Did she shoot him out of love/compassion or revenge?
>>70594111
no she wasn't
thats open for interpretation
>>70593638
But Dogtooth was more edgy lel.
In all seriousness now, it's been a couple years since I've seen Dogtooth but the film is very insular, right? I'd say it's more about how the family as an ideological unit has an affect on who you become.
>>70593894
I read a good post somewhere about how a donkey is an animal no one would want to be, so it might very well have been a family member putting a loved one out their misery.
The fact is it's pretty unclear and the woman does not appear or is not mentioned/alluded to the rest of the movie.
>>70594309
I went back and grabs some captures
that face of a spiteful/determined woman
not a face of mercy
>>70594709
multiple, not so clean shots like in god father part 2
>>70594309
Someone told me that same theory. It makes sense.
Now why did they pose as families when entering th city? They didn't just go to get supplies, they went by that one person's parents
>>70594709
Lanthimo's characters show no emotion so you can't really know. He uses some retarded theatrical technique from Brecht if I remember correctly.
Farrell couldn't bring himself to be so wooden, bad casting imo. Hollywood actors aren't going to act in extreme ways.
>>70593806
What is the female version of this? and how come they didn't show it.
>>70591789
>thinking this
no famm, sorry
>>70591725
Best movie of 2015.
>>70596891
Youth was better.
>>70594825
Matt Damon acts in extreme ways.Bweeeeeee
>>70597017
As far as artsy sardonic movies about hotel retreats starring Rachel Weiz go, I much prefer The Lobster over that 8 1/2 rip off.
>>70592041
It's like a film festival movie but seeing it isn't like going to a film festival
>>70592133
Most logic needs to be set aside for the movie to work. It's a metaphor so reality isn't really the goal here.
Just for example, who do you think is funding this program in the first place? The overhead costs would be astronomical to police every mall in the country for people who look suspiciously like they might be there alone.
>>70592133
They kinda establish that if they're outed as singles, they'll be sent to the hotel.
And its clearly a government run program to ensure mating and to weed any non-viable specimens from the human gene pool.
