Wine is really a stunner for the Danes, or for the Nordics, that can take them out of the world.
People do encounter difficulties in life when they reach middle age, emotionally, professionally, work and family... And the solution that the four men discussed together is to keep the blood alcohol concentration of 0.05% critical. Point, this brief indulgence and ease and the effect of a little alcohol turned their lives on the positive side. Martin, who was originally boring in class, has become more energetic and exciting, and PE teacher Tommy can also play his best form on the court to instruct the students to win... But this is far more than what the director wants to show. Tommy's drowning death was a wake-up call for the remaining three. Should we continue to sink or choose to quit drinking and face this cruel life bravely? The director did not give an answer directly, but Martin's indulgence at the end seemed to clarify their choice again.
I had a discussion with a French friend about why people drink. I studied film in France. In the city where I live, there are often drunk homeless people yelling on the side of the road at night, or smashing bottles and drinking After that, he was drunk and lying on the road. Therefore, most of the money they beg for during the day is used to buy alcohol. I said to my friends: Is it bad to use the remaining money to buy food and clothes, or to save up to go to work and live a normal life? ?
French friends told me that your so-called normal life may be an extravagant hope for them. Many of them have no family, no friends, and no job. Alcohol can warm their bodies, so that they will not be too cold in winter, and alcohol can bring them short-term relaxation and warmth, and even make them forget their current situation. When a person wanders on the streets for a long time, his mental state In addition, the self-awareness will become different from ordinary people. It is better to drink more wine and forget that I live like a dog. It will also be a kind of consolation for them.
Everyone drinks for different reasons, but is alcohol really the cure for everything? I think the answer this movie presents for us should be No.
