Not talking about wine, but about life

Very real movie. The illusory pleasure of alcohol highlights the coldness and numbness of life. It seems to be talking about drinking, but it is actually filming life. A slight wobble in medium shots and close-ups adds to the realism of the film. Life is always moving forward, and alcohol can't make people return to the high-spirited youth, but it can give people a dream. For too much helplessness in life, such short-lived dreams make people gain a moment of optimism. This optimism is not only for life, but also for self-recognition. However, after sobering up, this illusion dissipated, and whether real life will be more piercing, Tommy's death gave us the answer. Humans are not machines and cannot be rational forever. We need an outlet in the face of various pressures in the world and conflicts within ourselves. We need a staged victory, a staged reason, and a staged indulgence to make life more hopeful. In the film review, the friends who described alcoholism as the main problem, I think, misread the director's intention. Alcohol is just a small entry point, allowing us to see the ignorance, boldness, superficiality, and shortsightedness of teenagers, and the numbness of middle-aged people. unwilling. Can we make ourselves better? If you don't want to pay more and just want to feel good, you can choose to have a drink.

Insert a little prejudice of your own here. What do teachers help students for? Why do people help others? My answer is to increase self-presence, worth, and self-identity. People have always been self-interested, and behaviors that seem to benefit others and not themselves must be compensated psychologically. This kind of psychological compensation may be logically incomprehensible, but if it is combined with personal growth experience, there must be traces to follow. The real Virgin is actually a spiritual hunter who needs huge psychological compensation. Personal opinion, welcome to discuss.

Another Round quotes

  • Martin: So, when you run around totally wasted, throwing up in bushes and alleys, don't feel alone, because you're in great company.

  • Martin: Josse, there's an election with three candidates, so who do you vote for? No. 1: He is partially paralyzed from polio. He has hypertension. He's anemic and suffers from an array of serious illnesses. He lies if it suits his purpose and consults astrologists on his politics. He cheats on his wife, chain-smokes, and drinks too many martinis. No. 2: He's overweight, and he's already lost three elections. He suffers from depression and has had two heart attacks. He's impossible to work with and smokes cigars non-stop. And every night when he goes to bed, he drinks incredible amounts of champagne, cognac, port, whiskey, and adds two sleeping pills before dozing off. The last one, No. 3: He's a highly decorated war hero. He treats women with respect. He loves animals, never smokes, and only has a beer on rare occasions. Josse, who do you vote for? Josse: The last one. Martin: The last one, No. 3? And the rest of you? Students: Yes, No. 3. Martin: Oh boy! You just discarded Franklin D. Roosevelt... Winston L. Churchill... and thankfully you elected this guy.

    Martin: Students: Hitler? Martin: Focus! It's funny, but there's a point to this, which is important and which I hope you'll understand someday: the world is never as you expect.
