[There is no answer in life, only constant questions~]

I always say that I like to drink. In fact, most of the time, I like to be relaxed, enthusiastic, brave, and self-conscious... ? Today, I came across a Danish film about drinking, "Alcohol Project", which is very interesting. A group of depressed middle-aged men decided to make a plan to only drink at 8 pm during the day on weekdays, and to control the blood alcohol level to 0.05‰ on weekends (I understand that the daytime on weekdays has been kept slightly drunk status) wow! Cool, I've never tried what the hell is that? ? Everyone really becomes happy, enthusiastic, let go, the career is smooth, and the wife is also happy~~ But things will not stop and the plan will proceed slowly in the second stage, even more hi, the daily alcohol content is 0.1‰ The third stage, catharsis to the limit, completely drunk, from slight drunkenness to drunkenness to drunkenness and out of control, the blood is broken, the wife and son are scattered, and one of the four buddies died of drunkenness (indirect reason, falling into the river) This is A quit drinking promo? ? The ending is reversed. The three people started drinking again when they attended the funeral of the dead buddy. They communicated through text messages - proud of the dead buddy. Everyone drinks again. I was a little confused and contradictory at the time. Do you want to tell everyone to stop drinking or tell everyone to drink? After thinking about it for a long time to see the whole process and changes, I seem to understand the emotional bondage of the characters, the freedom and sobriety, the intoxication as an individual, the meaning of human life as a human being, the meaning of life is confused, contradictory... This is a film that makes A film about people's dialectical thinking This is a philosophical film. I don't think the director has the answer. The answer is in himself (in his heart). The film just presents various natural states. The film looks simple, but it is actually very complicated. Real and natural. Don't be influenced by the language of the exam. Must have a central idea. This is a movie that triggers thinking. There is no conclusion. Let's think about life through the issue of "alcohol". ...these are life. There are no answers in life, there are only constant questions in life~ I like the other two translations, "Drunk Good Times" and "Drunk Beauty Lessons". During this time, I have watched too few movies. I have to carefully select each one to relax, and movies to relax. Thinking about my new life guidelines... I was only going to talk about a few simple sentences and write such a long sentence???

    After eight and a half years away from Macau, I left the country after a year and two months, and finally came to the Love Cinema for the first time to watch a movie! Once you drink, you get drunk, and when you get drunk, you can rest. The rationality and reflection of the existence of alcohol, a small drink to relieve worries and increase confidence, and a large loss of gaffe to hurt the body and the situation. Uncle Mai is the king of dance! ! ! ! ! After fifty years of age, it is still easy to perform a series of difficult action skills that amaze four! The end of the film is immersed in the dizzying and fascinating tune "What A Life" that appears at the beginning and the end, and the wine foam splashes all over the place, exuding a huge magnetic field charm, which firmly inhales the audience in front of the screen and makes them fall intoxicated!

    After "Life with a Cup of Wine", another drink-themed funeral and burning film, and it was shot for middle-aged people. I saw tears in my eyes in the cold winter, and I probably lived to the age of mid-life crisis. The direction of the film once made people feel broken, but fortunately, the director finally gave enough face to the middle-aged people and did not embarrass us too much. The director's attitude towards wine is still ambiguous: it is a testament to God's favor on us, and it is also a devil that devours us at any time. At the end, only three of the four middle-aged straight men are left. This is a crueler thing than a mid-life crisis. When a person reaches middle age, death will get closer and closer to him. And there are things as cruel as wine: if you choose to maintain health, you can live a long life, nor do you choose to have fun in time, and there is only one dead end.

    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.
