The cycle of each generation

Halfway through life, life suddenly opened the barbaric door, the joy of youth was slammed behind the door, and there was only a beach full of holes and inescapable.

A few men were always unwilling, trying to regain a little youth but timid, and finally defended their alcoholism in the name of research - this weak reason maintains the restraint of a decent person.

A little, a little, a little. They try to push away the cage of middle-aged life. First probe the probe. He reached out and waved again. Finally, they believed in the magic of alcohol, and they jumped with joy as the alcohol concentration rose to 1.7%, but all of a sudden they watched the modesty built in the first half of their lives collapse, revealing a tattered and moldy reality.

Lonely, borderline, bed-wetting, afraid to talk to women, wife cheating. This is the reality of their lives. But who can laugh at such a reality? Who can show this reality to others.

So still, whitewash the peace.

Martin's attempt to save his wife was rejected. However, after Tommy left, he found that his wife's cheating object was his best friend. She left decisively and returned suddenly. The moment he understood the truth, Martin's heart probably fell to the bottom. His friends and wife had been lying to himself all the time.

But compared to the terrible truth, the days of being cheated are not too bad - friends can still drink, and the family still has occasional warmth. He wanted to keep it like this, he just wanted to have a good time, nothing else mattered. With wine, songs, and sunshine, this is a day to dance.

He promised his wife.

What is false, life is meaningless.

Until death comes, happiness is all there is to it.

Another Round quotes

  • Martin: So, when you run around totally wasted, throwing up in bushes and alleys, don't feel alone, because you're in great company.

  • 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.
