Short review not written

It was different from what I expected at first. At first, I thought it would be a literary film, but after reading it, it felt more like a philosophical work.

There is a discussion about the impact of alcohol on life, but instead of a "reasonable" sad ending to call drinking harmful to health, the ending feels like a meaningless discussion, and nothing has changed.

Later, after reading some film reviews, I generally understood the so-called "existentialism". So the inspiration the movie gives me is generally, take positive action and admit life.

Off topic:

One thing I feel deeply is that the male protagonist (Uncle Ba) is really handsome. For the first time, I feel the charm that a middle-aged uncle can exude. Being greasy is not the only choice for middle-aged people. The dance at the end is so handsome and explosive, it can be regarded as a goal to work hard for in the future.

The second is that I have reservations about the 0.5% theory, and I have not been drinking for a while, because I am so disgusted by the embarrassed appearance of arguing with alcohol after being drunk, and I don't want to see it again if I can.

The third is that watching the last ten minutes of the plot is very uncomfortable, but I can't say what it is. . Just remember this.

    I want to have a drink while watching it, and I want to drink a bottle after reading it. Alcohol can bring short-term anesthesia and excitement, as long as it can relieve temporary anxiety or bring short-term pleasure, it can be refilled indefinitely. The characters in the film encounter a mid-life crisis. In order to have a better state, they try to keep the blood containing 0.5% alcohol. Later, they gradually get out of control, from controlling alcohol to being controlled by alcohol. The problem is even more unsolved. No drunken plans, just hope that every glass of wine you drink is for pleasure.
