The female protagonist is also a male protagonist addict

There are gamblers, alcoholics, smokers, poisonous ghosts, and all kinds of addicts in this world.

And the heroine of this film, like the hero's addict, can't quit no matter how he persuades.

Some people say that this is true love, but it is not necessary to think about it. This man can kiss other women for the sake of wine, and these heroines don't know.

The ending seems to be good, the heroine gave hope to the hero, but what can the hero do even if he writes a novel, can he bear the pain of the failure of the novel again? The male protagonist is someone who can't do anything except writing and doesn't want to do anything. Writing is the whole of his life. The life of such a person is like a gamble. Before winning the gamble, he lives on the support of others, self-esteem and confidence. Naturally will go down. As the male protagonist said, many people live a desperate life in silence. Since his body and mind are beyond salvation, it is better to give him a happy life.

    I didn't like it as much as I imagined, but the ray drunkard's performance was very vivid. Various illusions appeared in turns. The drunkard imprisoned the hospital and the bat caught the mouse. I saw the taste of Samuel Fuller. I don't think the story is very clever, but the heroine and the hero belong to New York. The combination of a rare infatuated girl and a bad guy is too rare, and the heroine's nose is a bit like me, so I'm very friendly/The wish made last year came true this year

    Depressed music, the design of elaborate multi-camera angles (low ceiling shots, etc.) that reflect the inner state and the state of the characters, during narration, the protagonist tells the prepared novel (actually his own story) to avoid simple flashbacks or flashbacks. Feeling bored, have an accurate grasp of the character's state and confusion after being drunk, the ending seems very weak, and the emotions have not been released enough and come to an abrupt end, this is very disappointing, is it a happy ending?

The Lost Weekend quotes

  • Don Birnam: [to Wick and Helen] Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. I can't take quiet desperation!

  • Don Birnam: It shrinks my liver, doesn't it, Nat? It pickles my kidneys, yeah. But what it does it do to the mind? It tosses the sandbags overboard so the balloon can soar. Suddenly I'm above the ordinary. I'm competent. Extremely competent! I'm walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls. I'm one of the great ones. I'm Michaelangelo, molding the beard of Moses. I'm Van Gogh painting pure sunlight. I'm Horowitz, playing the Emperor Concerto. I'm John Barrymore before the movies got him by the throat. I'm Jesse James and his two brothers, all three of them. I'm W. Shakespeare. And out there it's not Third Avenue any longer, it's the Nile, Nat. The Nile and down into the barge of Cleopatra.
