People who are disappointed in the world, depressed by themselves, alcoholism, drug abuse, binge drinking of coffee, and even cough syrup. They need a little medicine to give confidence and willpower. Don't dare to face the facts, let alone face the heart.
Alcoholics are sensitive in their hearts. The writers, Faulkner, Raymond Chandler, and Fitzgerald are all alcoholics. Because of sensitivity, it is closer to the truth, which is often cruel. Sensitive people often feel that they are incompatible with the world, dissatisfied with themselves, and dissatisfied with the world at the same time. If you want to eliminate disappointment, you can only numb that part. Alcohol can make sadness a little bit less.
As soon as the alcoholic finds that his pain appears, he will immediately think of asking for alcohol to relieve his worry. The more the pain occurs, the more you want to escape, the more you rely on alcohol.
In fact, self-confidence, willpower, and optimism are given by me, and no medicine can do it for me. On the surface, I feel comfortable for a while, but in fact, any problems are not solved. The pleasure of drinking is as if the problem has been solved. Without a real solution to the problem, people will never be truly free.
The leading actor is very vivid and takes care of every detail
. He loves the idealism in the heart of the alcoholic and the movies of the golden age of Hollywood very much. Billy Wilder is a very storytelling director. This is a great movie.
