Love and youth are always there

"Alcohol Program"

Alcohol has the most mysterious power in the world. We are obsessed with alcohol, whether it is the passion, fall or escape that it brings, or the cyberpunk chaos implied by alcohol, pure dopamine, or, more philosophically, alcohol. What comes is true equality in a sense.

The film may explore love, youth, anxiety and failure, and these elements should perhaps give way to the only real protagonist, alcohol. At its most basic level, this experiment on alcohol seems to justify moderate drinking and demonstrate the dangers of binge drinking. But in fact, the change is not brought about by alcohol. It is true that alcohol may act as a catalyst, but more than once in the film, it is implied that alcohol makes people "change back" to the past.

From "Alcohol Project" to "Rifkin's Film Festival," the issue of midlife crisis has received more and more attention from directors. Diluted enthusiasm by the repetition and helplessness of life, mechanical and numb, at a loss for seemingly sudden changes, anxiety, anxiety, anxiety... The socialization of mid-life crisis makes this age-based predicament bound more people will be A good reason. Faced with such a predicament, how we seek a way out should be the key answer in the narrative of the film. The solution given in this film is quite Hollywood at a glance, bravely stepping out of the comfort zone, rekindling enthusiasm and finding a younger self, but then it is a blow to the head, yes, it is not that simple. When we throw away the wine bottle, love and youth don't need alcohol to find them. They are there, but they are covered by the dust of life. The story of this film has the romance of Camus' Sisyphus. So, love and youth, this is the case.

I have no intention of advocating alcohol, but when you're anxious, drop everything and get drunk, we dance until the dawn knocks us to the ground, life is just like that, as happiness lasts forever.

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.
