Norwegian psychologist-Finn Skårderud put forward a theory: when the alcohol in the body reaches 0.05 BAC (Blood Alcohol Content), that person will be more relaxed and creative, thus making his personal life more efficient in many aspects.
Confused by the midlife crisis: tedious work, not being respected by students, cold marital life at home, or personal difficulties, four middle school male teachers decided to try the above arguments. They start off by tasting it and stick to the 0.05 limit. However, after tasting the sweetness, the four of them had a life break and decided to increase the alcohol index, and their lives began to lose control, affecting the people around them. . .
Danish director - Thomas Vinterberg, who with the infamous director - Lars von Trier spearheaded the drafting of the "Dogme95 Manifesto" (a 1995 manifesto for independent filmmakers, intended to break the film Making established rules allows independent filmmakers to start filming at a lower cost, thereby breaking the shackles of film companies and achieving more free artistic autonomy. In an era when mobile phones were not proliferated, it was considered forward-looking, although the initiators have no longer abide by this declaration.). Thomas Winterberg seems to be the kind of "award-related" filmmaker. Two of his films: Hunting for Jagten (2012) and Far From the Madding Crowd (2015) have received good reviews; The former is the actor - Mads Mikkelsen Mads Mikkelsen sent to the Cannes Film Festival best actor throne.
In this play, the two work together again. The movie can't be said to be particularly exciting and promiscuous (perhaps because I personally don't drink alcohol, it is difficult to substitute?), but it is still quite intrusive in portraying the plight of middle-aged men. Max Mikkelsen still showed his superb acting skills. At a banquet, his friends saw through the predicament, but he held back tears with tears in his eyes, and he performed perfectly. In the end, the film cannot avoid the "political correctness" of showing the harm of alcohol, and even if the final tragedy occurs (one of the friends who participated in the experiment committed suicide), its concept of alcohol is still ambiguous with reservations. Perhaps in the Western world, how can socializing be without wine? Young middle school students already see what's in a glass as an everyday item; one of the teachers secretly handed wine to a nervous student so he could relax and pass the exam, etc.
In the end, the male protagonist danced with alcohol at the student's graduation ceremony. It is difficult to speculate on the message he was trying to convey: is he relieved, or is he helpless about the predicament of life and uses alcohol to vent? Of course, no matter how much wine, there is still nothing to make up for it.
A movie dedicated to middle-aged men: Life is nothing more than "sadness everywhere, and a cup of bitter wine to swallow". Let's share!
PS: Movies about alcohol, this one reminds me of the other two: Sideways (2004) and Leaving Las Vegas (1995). Interested friends can come and have a look!
