Before, he was short-sighted, and she was short-sighted.
Now, she is blind, as long as he is blind, can they be together forever
This is the concept of love that runs through the entire film of "The Lobster", twisted and deformed, and also deeply imprinted on David. According to the direction of the original script, David's actions in the ending also continued this concept; but staying at such a level, it is only based on love, and I want to further sublime or deepen, from love to reflect social relations and classes, and even social relations Ideology and values, David must make up his mind to fight hard-
Either David didn't do anything and pretended to be blind, and then both of them pretended to be blind to deceive each other and make fun of the love nurtured within the framework of the whole society; And the society represented by myopic women has finally won again.
But Renly and Oggs reached a consensus that choosing the latter was the most appropriate and profound decision, both from the perspective of David's personality setting and from the perspective of subsequent sublimation.
This moment was the moment when David made up his mind.
Observation, careful observation, David was still unable to find the traces of the myopic woman pretending A happy and prosperous future.

As for the difficulties and torture after blindness, David, who was dazzled by love, naturally didn't think much about it. However, David never really believed: love, in fact, has died.
So, David, who was immersed in joy, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and could not help but outline a lightness, as if he was calmly welcoming his own happiness and sunshine, such a shallow smile fell in the depths of his eyes, In an instant, it was even more dazzling than the sunlight quietly poking out of the window.
The waiter appeared again and placed the knife and fork in front of David.
"Thank you," David said politely, then meticulously opened the paper towel, took out the steak knife alone, and carefully wrapped the fork in the paper towel, as if it were a ritual, and when he was done, he looked up To the nearsighted woman, "I do it with a steak knife."
In the calm and calm tone, there is even a faint trace of bravery and firmness. The pride from the bottom of his heart makes his facial features become solemn. He firmly believes that this is the road to happiness. But this firmness made bystanders outside the camera shudder.
"Do you need me to accompany you?" The short-sighted woman's eyes still lacked any brilliance, as if she was completely blind. The pupils seemed to have completely lost their ability to focus, and even the light could not penetrate in. She leaned slightly. before, approach in the direction of the source of the sound.
David stared at the short-sighted woman so intently, enjoying the last bit of good time, imprinting her face in the depths of his memory with his pupils, eyebrows, nose bridge, lips, face... Every detail is not missed, Those eyes burst out with brilliance and brilliance, without any superfluous expressions, but with a touch of excitement, nostalgia and fanaticism, which fully interprets the true meaning of love. At a certain moment, just like "Romeo and Juliet", it seems that There was no pain in swallowing that bottle of poison either.
Seeing death as home, and moths flying into flames, he also likes it.
The instant splendor made the onlookers outside the monitor feel a little unbearable. Once upon a time, they all thought that David was a silly idealist, and even couldn't help laughing at David; but they had to witness the idealist's demise.
That kind of cruelty, even more bloody than killing.
"I don't want you to go." David looked at the myopic woman tenderly and said in a tolerant tone.
The short-sighted woman seemed to sense the worry in David's voice and said softly, "Don't worry. It's a little uncomfortable at first, but you'll get used to it." But what she didn't know was that David was not worried about himself, but rather It was her, he didn't want her to see those bloody pictures.
Or, she knew, but pretended not to know.
"Then your other senses will become more sensitive. For example, touch, hearing." The nearsighted woman is comforting David in the way of a loner leader.
David showed a consoling smile at the short-sighted woman, "I know." He tried to make her not have to worry about himself, but then realized that she could no longer see her own eyes and expressions, then, this also means As soon as he saw her, he would no longer see her eyes and expressions.
David's eyes were a little lonely, lowered down, and landed on the steak knife in his hand, and the focus and focal distance collapsed again in the same way.
However, there were not many thoughts in my mind, I was simply immersed in an emotional moment, unable to extricate myself, seemed to be choking and mourning, that short-lived emotional surging immediately calmed down, and then, his eyes lifted again, He looked at the nearsighted woman.
Unperturbed.
Just looking at her quietly, like a copier, trying to imprint all her facial features and expressions in the depths of his mind, even in the boundless night, those memory fragments can still guide him. Go ahead and look for directions to the harbour.
Gently, just exhaling a breath like this, the light in those eyes subsided little by little, became firm in an instant, and then returned to a calm state, and said with a smile, "I'll be back soon." He put away the steak knife, hid it in his sleeve, got up and left.
David stood up.
David stepped away.
But the subtle movements can detect the difference. He still looks a little restrained and restrained, but the waist and spine are completely straight between the invisible, not strutting with confidence, but also dignified and upright, lacking that The confidence burst out from the inside out, but it is still full of firm belief.
Completely refurbished compared to when we stayed at the hotel.
The methodical footsteps are steady and powerful. Although the stride and cadence are still unhurried, they reveal a steady temperament, and the emotions of gestures and gestures have become different: he has found it! He finally found it! He proved that love exists! He proved that true love is incomparable! He proved the loopholes in the social system! He proved that his perseverance paid off! He proved that love is still the greatest thing!
Now, he's about to sacrifice himself to prove it all.
David could vaguely feel his great mission. It seemed that he shouldered the weight of the entire human race and the responsibility of subverting the entire system. Even if he couldn't shout out loud, he still went to justice, because this was his happiness!
In the tall figure, there is a resoluteness towards the hope of embracing the sun; even the dim neon light cannot stop him.
But the reality is that the cold and icy cold light surrounds the tunnel leading to the bathroom, and the further you go inside, the darker it gets. The sunlight outside the window does not seem to be able to touch the depths of the tunnel, thus forming a black hole that is swallowing All the objects and lights around you trying to get close.
Those neon lights, those dark lights, those dim lights, calmly and silently waiting for David to enter the tiger's mouth step by step, it seems that he has opened his bloody mouth.
"Card!"
Oggs' voice shouted in time, and then many staff members around were unable to suppress their impulses, and eagerly raised their right hand, trying to prevent David from going to his own "death".
Some die, and that's worth it; some don't.
David is heading for an unnecessarily ruined ending, and every bystander can only watch him go to an unknown distance - he thinks he is embracing his dream, but in fact he is heading for dream destruction.
Even if they don't know if a myopic woman is really blind - assuming she is blind, this is ridiculous, and using their blindness to exchange for a common ground, and then achieve love, this "elimination of differences", "exclusion of heterogeneity" practices, It is making everyone and all relationships the same, and then losing the power and complexity that emotions originally possessed, those ups and downs, those stormy waves, those vicissitudes, all turned into a backwater.
Sacrifice is not to achieve the greatness of love; it is to stifle the existence of difference. This is to witness a fresh and pure soul going into self-destruction.
How can they not regret it
Renly's performance gave this character the firmness and calmness of generous sacrifice. On the surface, the iceberg and the inner fire, such contradictory emotions accurately conveyed the shock of the contrast, and successfully cast a stone in the audience's mind, creating a tsunami. Then the absurdity and weirdness of the whole story has been pushed to a new peak, and the mixed emotions are the best proof.
Not even Rachel Weisz.
"Jesus Christ!" Rachel couldn't help covering her cheeks with her hands, and the corners of her mouth showed a tangle of crying and laughing, "I can't do it! Ogus, I really can't do it. This is too cruel. I Killing a soul with my own hands, maybe even the only soul in the whole story!"
Even during filming, Rachel couldn't hold back a few times, almost exclaiming, "No. Don't do this. I'm not blind."
Because compared to other staff members, Rachel, who felt the emotional changes in the depths of Renly's pupils face to face, was the most real and direct, she was able to carefully capture every change in the depths of her eyes— Even though she wears color-changing pupils to hide the light in her eyes and avoid showing off her performance, she still can't bear the weight of those eyes, which seriously affects the quality of her performance:
Her emotions were completely led by Renly's nose, and she instantly got rid of the state of a myopic woman, resulting in an unbalanced performance. It's really not an easy task.
