I watched "Alcohol Project", which is also an old film. It was played by a Danish national treasure. I know the general structure of the story. Regarding Uncle Ba, I have not watched "Hunting", and I watched too few films. ashamed.
About this kind of middle-aged life crisis, the content of movies such as alcohol is unbearable for middle-aged people like me to look directly at it, but it makes you see your own life more truly, your life, and makes you more sober Just reflection. Then the pain of your life, loss, and maybe love, there is no escape, there is nothing to solve. Like the title I had in mind for this movie. "Marriage Story" I only watched a third of the way, I didn't finish it. Because it feels too real, I can't bear to see it directly.
Is there any solution to the life of middle-aged people? Is there a solution to alcohol? of course not. The film also tells you that there is no solution, in the place where you think you have found an exit, and then a little bit of life returns, and then you get out of control, what happens after you get out of control? But the continuation of life. Until old age, you will encounter new crises. That is the problem of old age, let's not think about it here. Someone in the middle would disappear completely, like the character Tommy. Disappearing is just a funeral, and life finally comes to an end.
I like the last scene the most, our three friends and young people started dancing, Uncle Pa's solo dance is really great, at this moment in our life, we can dance, this is our life, and finally with a Asuka's posture is over, the intention and expression are all in place, and the body tells you what the movie wants to express. "Although life has no meaning, but love makes life more beautiful" Gojoren's lyrics. Existentialism, the word love can be replaced with any word, in this shot it is body language, it is dance.
Middle-aged life begins to need some rituals, some addictive behaviors to relieve stress and anxiety in life. These fixed posture things will give you some physical and mental comfort. I even encourage people around me to develop rituals or addictive behaviors they need. Emotions always need to be released. It is better to solve them than not to solve them, as long as it does not endanger physical health. I am also reliant on all kinds of drinks, and I want to accompany everything in life with a drink at any time, but I like drinks rather than alcohol.
The mango-flavored Devil's Claw drink is the highlight of my life. When I bought back boxes of magic claws and filled a layer of refrigerators, the sense of satisfaction and security in my heart gave me great comfort. I think this is my addictive behavior. I’m also controlling myself, because of sugar control, I can only drink two cans a week now. Then there is the coffee that I usually drink. Because it is freshly ground, it can basically be sugar-free or add a little sugar. This is my own taste. At other times, happy, unhappy, and a good time to be alone, I always suggest to myself, drink this, drink that, every day’s psychological struggle is consumed on this matter.
I've also tried some alcoholic drinks, but so far I don't really like it. Recently, I plan to drink carbonated and sugar-free soda water to comfort myself in life.
This film just uses alcohol as a carrier to tell an unsolved issue in life and express his attitude. What can I do without a solution? Go on, know that life is gone, give it your own meaning, that's all.
