Don lost the weekend, I lost my interest in alcohol

Seeing that I don't want to drink anymore, I am disgusted with being drunk. The often-sounding background music is weird and long, and both the audience and the deep-seated Don are tortured with no end in sight. Analyzing an alcoholic so deeply, his patience was exhausted, and every trace of optimism that he ignited was worn out. Although Don is indeed very talented, it is indeed romantic when he put the carnations in his newly stolen bag. But the beautiful words are only spoken out, why don’t they write them down? I can’t imagine how the heroine will stay with me for three years and still want to be with me for a lifetime, so that the thought of “if this is an HE I will be disappointed” keeps on me. The mind came to mind. The final awakening was abrupt, but with Don’s positive words and memories, it seemed that the last hour and forty minutes was just a beautiful imagination at the beginning of the weekend. The "perfect circle" is still going back and forth, satisfying everyone’s hopes for Don. The desire to cheer up again fits my evil instincts. The story of a frustrated writer and Meili Bole reminds me of "The Master and Margarita", but this time, Voland is hiding in the bottle on the chandelier. The gun in the mirror is the last salvation.

    In New York in 1945, he bought depression and intoxication with his true feelings and dreams, but there was always such a good girl who wrapped the heart of this fragile poet in sweetness.

    Fortunately, there is no despair to the end, and now I can't stand to give up my movie completely, the lines are well written

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.
