As long as the human body maintains an alcohol concentration of 0.05% at all times, there will be a sense of happiness.
When was the last time you got drunk? When was the last time you had a hangover? Was the last time alcohol brought you pleasure or pain? Are the occasional convulsions of middle-aged people understandable or detestable? Is life an essay question or a multiple choice question?
The 93rd Academy Award for Best International Film "Alcohol Project" mainly tells a story: four middle-aged teachers faced their own difficulties and launched a feasibility analysis of using alcohol to solve the problem of mid-life crisis. Based on the Finn Sugilder theory, the purpose of the study is to collect the effects of alcohol on mental language vocabulary and mental age, as well as to study the improvement of alcohol on social skills and professional performance. In order to test the theory, they started the road of practice.
Midlife crises always come too quickly, and you don't know when you're in a quagmire. History teacher Martin faced a child who was difficult to communicate with, a wife who worked night shifts every day without communication, a listless student, and the same teaching method as reading a pen. tears at the birthday party. Tommy, a physical education teacher, has only one old dog to accompany him when he reaches middle age. Peter, a music teacher, teaches a group of children with dysphonia to sing the national anthem every day. Nicola, a psychology teacher, has three children who wet the bed, and a wife who asks him to buy fresh ingredients every day. When people reach middle age, these sad middle-aged people, although they do not have to worry about food and clothing, enjoy the high welfare of the Nordic countries, and have the iron job of high school teachers, but they can no longer see more possibilities in life. All that can be gained has been gained, and the rest of life seems to be only lost.
Watching this film, I sometimes feel that middle-aged people in Nordic countries are really hypocritical. In China, they are carrying mortgages and car loans, handling the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, fighting with their mistresses to accompany their children in various extracurricular classes, and they are still struggling inwardly. These Nordic people are still struggling. He drank a lot of alcohol and gave up on himself. Oh, and it can't be said to be self-indulgent, in order to write a paper (it seems that the research pressure of academic subjects is very heavy). If this research is successful, then there is nothing wrong with Maotai's nomination of academicians. Unfortunately, like most of us writing a dissertation, halfway through it, the research doesn't go on. Physical education teacher Tommy, who can't swim, was expelled from the school after being inebriated. The research group was disbanded, and the three friends continued their lives despite the disappointment. As Martin said: The world is never what you expected.
When a person reaches middle age, if you don’t want to accompany you with only an old dog, if you don’t want to share a bed with your partner, if you don’t want to be around diapers and vegetable markets every day, if you don’t want to work just to make a living. So how to do it?
The film doesn't give an answer, it just ushered in the graduation season, the middle-aged anxiety collided with Chun Wuji, and the open ending with a jump after a solo dance reminded me of that passage in East Evil and West Poison.
Huang Yaoshi: Not long ago, I met a person who gave me a jar of wine. She said it was called "drunk life and dream death". After drinking it, it can make you forget anything you have ever done. I wonder why there is such a wine.
She said that the biggest trouble of people is that their memory is too good. If you can forget everything, every day in the future will be a new beginning. Then you say how happy it is.
When people are middle-aged, the sky wants to snow in the evening, and they can drink a cup.
