Since "Life with a Glass of Wine" and "American Beauty" more than ten or twenty years ago, it seems that there have been fewer and fewer movies focusing on the mid-life crisis of middle-aged white men. In the context of mainstream and even "political correctness", "Alcohol Project" is somewhat refreshing. The significance of Thomas Winterberg's director of this film, I think, is to bravely stand up to decompress this old problem, and put it in the modern context to cause Western society to rethink this problem.

6/10. Winterberg uses the out-of-control state of alcoholism to reach the realm of no-self. The young and energetic small group in the beginning drank a whole case of beer while running a race, and the alcohol carnival even handcuffed the flight attendant on the carriage. The power of youth was released against the school. The asceticism of the students, and the frolic of the students corresponds to the middle-aged teacher's return to the passion of life Nanke Yimeng, from the research results of a group of teachers who put into practice the blood alcohol content of only 0.05%, secretly drinking vodka in the toilet, drinking vodka in the doorman's Stealing wine bottles in the closet to persuading students who are afraid of not successfully graduating to drink to strengthen their courage, and finally a friend commits suicide, accompanied by the soothing Tchaikovsky music, the courage given by alcohol in the process, the illusory and uncontrollable rationality of alleviating the anxiety of survival. The haze just summed up the nihilistic life situation. Winterbert ironically inserted images of European leaders toasting and celebrating, and recalled the historical allusions that celebrities such as Hemingway and Churchill used alcohol to perform at their best, to show the passion of surpassing oneself under the boost of alcohol. At the end, the young people dance around the protagonist's selfless dance and sprinkle hops, and the whole scene has the ecstasy of holiness.

Martin: Josse, there's an election with three candidates, so who do you vote for? No. 1: He is partially paralyzed from polio. He has hypertension. He's anemic and suffers from an array of serious illnesses. He lies if it suits his purpose and consults astrologists on his politics. He cheats on his wife, chain-smokes, and drinks too many martinis. No. 2: He's overweight, and he's already lost three elections. He suffers from depression and has had two heart attacks. He's impossible to work with and smokes cigars non-stop. And every night when he goes to bed, he drinks incredible amounts of champagne, cognac, port, whiskey, and adds two sleeping pills before dozing off. The last one, No. 3: He's a highly decorated war hero. He treats women with respect. He loves animals, never smokes, and only has a beer on rare occasions. Josse, who do you vote for? Josse: The last one. Martin: The last one, No. 3? And the rest of you? Students: Yes, No. 3. Martin: Oh boy! You just discarded Franklin D. Roosevelt... Winston L. Churchill... and thankfully you elected this guy.

Martin: Students: Hitler? Martin: Focus! It's funny, but there's a point to this, which is important and which I hope you'll understand someday: the world is never as you expect.

Sebastian: The conception of anxiety was it? Well, Kierkegaard's concept of anxiety illustrates how a human being deals with the notion of failing.
Peter: And even more importantly?
Sebastian: With having failed, you must accept yourself as fallible in order to love others and life.
Peter: Sebastian, can you give us an example?
Sebastian: Yes, I myself have failed.
