It's quite interesting, the movie uses a very common story template, and then extends it from it.
Originally, the protagonists used some kind of dangerous props (or drugs) to try to solve their own life dilemmas, but the props got out of control and people committed suicide.
That's only three quarters of the movie.
It's actually not that old-fashioned, and it's meant to tell stories that are dark and borderless.
More precisely, what the film is telling is actually a story about experimentation and inheritance.
Old stories are filled with a kind of introspective life wisdom: exhorting people to pay attention to their own desires, because they are inexhaustible.
That's right.
This is orthodox.
But at the same time, this is also a statement that tends to be conservative.
Because if you think about it, you will easily find that the limits of this desire are by themselves impossible to determine.
Alcohol is kept at 0.05%, which is the limit given in the movie.
It's starting to improve their lives and make them better.
Then the protagonists have to try higher limits to achieve better results. As a result, during a fire escape, they lost control and the experiment was aborted.
The male protagonist got divorced because of this, and Tommy committed suicide because of it.
So we see from this that people should always pay attention to reflect on their own desires?
of course not.
What we can imagine is that without this attempt, would the protagonist really teach good students? As for his own marital predicament, is it really better than divorce?
And Tommy, who only had an old dog to live with him after the divorce, did the alcohol hasten his demise or cause him to commit suicide?
Is the problem really with the alcohol?
The whole movie doesn't really get stuck here.
On the contrary, the student who retakes the exam many times said what the movie wanted to express:
Because the human heart is dark and has no boundaries, I dare not try it, so I resort to reason and limit the boundaries of behavior to the safety zone of experience.
In this way, man falls into stagnant waters. Although calm, it stinks day by day.
Is this a happy ending?
The answer given in the movie is obviously no. At the end, the teachers and students are still alive after trying, no matter whether it is better or not, but the teachers who live more vigorously, and the students who pass on the knowledge of their predecessors and run forward with joy.
I would prefer people who live like this.
This is life.
