one night, one night

No loser doesn't want to be a Game Changer like the protagonist Thomas.

Maybe all you need is a project X. Crazy overnight, crowned king.

Large and small, noisy and deserted, I have participated in thousands of parties that set up parties in various names, but with the scale and excitement in the movie, I am afraid that I can only yearn for it in my life. to.

The director is not here to tell the story of a young girl who is a young girl and a young girl who will eventually pass away. Just as the movie's slogan reveals, he just put a "The Party You've Only Dreamed About" as a title. It is presented to you in a raw and unadorned way.

That's why most of the shots in the film are connected by first-person camerawork: to accentuate the presence and double the reality.

It's not the hot pretty fucking pussy that makes the blood boil in the film. This element is full of any teenage comedy that can be called a name. What really makes the audience hooked is the kind of abandoning everything, even if the end of the world is bleeding and even incontinence, I just want to be high and enjoy the sky at this time tonight.

A thousand cups without getting drunk, flirting and picking up girls, this is not the intention of the Party. The existence of the Party is to gather the will of the public to release themselves. It is human beings who are declaring war on loneliness. There is no leader, and the whole people are soldiers. Implemented into this film, Party is given a stronger catharsis. The young heart always yearns for an outlet to escape and indulge, and fantasizes that a group of people who hold the same idea will join him and form a force to resist or cater to the ubiquitous turmoil in the body.

Keep clinking glasses and screaming, let pills melt on the tip of your tongue, throw off your clothes, let go of your body, sway your body to the rhythm that shakes the sky, hug your dance partner's soft waist and go straight to climax... Alcohol It is the foreplay of desire to expand, marijuana is the wings that fly to the clouds, every handsome man can't wait to change into a tight-fitting short T, and every trendy girl steps on fluorescent high heels without concealing the ambiguity, the gorgeous night should not be wasted on Solitary sleep should be sacrificed to collective carnival.

At the end of the film, in the ruins of the house, when Thomas's father heard that the number of parties had reached hundreds or even thousands, his first reaction was surprise, and then he was unobservably relieved. This is typical Western educational thinking. As a father, he was shocked to realize that his son was so popular and not a stupid and inactive loser. Even if all his property was destroyed, he would not blame too much. Immediately after Thomas was elected as "the most likely succeed people" by the students of the same school, it is precisely to promote a "dare to do" consciousness, that is, those who can succeed are always different from most people, even if this The difference is reflected in the fact that he launched an epic Party with unprecedented pomp.

Based on this concept, it is not difficult for us to understand the intention of the director. Some things seem crazy, and there are never too many people who dare to try it suddenly, but you have such a chance in your life, and you need to be unscrupulous at all costs. If you do, you can achieve self-breakthrough from the inside out.

Seeing Thomas and his two bad friends Costa and JB (the name is really...) lying on the campus playground with exhausted faces in the early morning, I suddenly thought of my two good brothers in college. At that time, we were often drunk to the point of unconsciousness, and we couldn't help laughing when we looked at each other like zombies at dawn... After graduation, I never got drunk again, and I could never find the fun and tacit understanding of the year. It is rare for us to meet again. Even if we meet again, everything is gone.

A party left Thomas with a huge debt, but in exchange for a new self that was more confident and autonomous. Perhaps this is the positive meaning of bohemianism. We don't know what it means to be alive, or what we should be living, until we have the courage to betray ourselves once.

A lifetime, a night, a lifetime. This party that will finally end, I hope you can sway to your heart's content and explode your life.
