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.

    The brief indulgence of a midlife crisis is just as dangerous and fascinating.

    The director is not very smooth, "Hunting" is a success, the others are tepid, from this work, it is right to be tepid. From the choice of one of the three politicians, Uncle Mi knows that it is broken, Roosevelt, Churchill, Hitler, this It's been more than ten years since I've been working on an old joke, and the script can still take a long time to tell it honestly. This is the gap between the ordinary and the excellent. It is even more frowning to use "did you swallow a gun like Hemingway or win World War II like Churchill" to force students to pass the history exam. The best part is that the mixed-cut Yeltsin and Brezhnev leaders got drunk in the camera, especially mocking Soviet Russia. A few middle-aged white people were unhappy, and the alcohol experiment was rejuvenated, and it was not established at all. Uncle Mi's last hot dance released the great vitality of life and reached the state of Zen that penetrates the sky and the earth. According to Liao Fan, it is also different. Do you know why? You have never really been suppressed or suffocated. Where did your liberation come from? What happened to this movie? Does a PE teacher commit suicide? is it necessary?

    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.

  • Sebastian: The conception of anxiety was it? Well, Kierkegaard's concept of anxiety illustrates how a human being deals with the notion of failing.

    Peter: And even more importantly?

    Sebastian: With having failed, you must accept yourself as fallible in order to love others and life.

    Peter: Sebastian, can you give us an example?

    Sebastian: Yes, I myself have failed.
