Alcohol can numb people's nerves, make people make irrational and casual behaviors, and is full of indulgent passion, and "Alcohol Project" tells the story of such a somewhat warm middle-aged man.

Young people seem to have endless passion, the beginning of life, indulging in joy, the female voice whispering love and dreams, the lakeside race is being held, the collision of boxes of beer bottles, the main theme of youth sounds, this is the beginning of the film. The audio-visual information, young people carry out some activities without any utility and no purpose, while the middle-aged people are numbly repeating the plainness of life again and again, telling the classroom in plain language, and treating their partners with a cold tone. Driving without drinking, drinking without driving, obeying every rule, caring about other people's eyes, immobilizing yourself in the body, lonely, calm but also losing the courage in life.

Alcohol seems to be a savior in the movie. It saves these four middle-aged and old uncles who are bound by the rules of life. The contradictions and sufferings in life torture everyone alive, but the kind of The exhaustion from inside and outside interrupted their courage every time. In the end, they stopped struggling and let themselves go, just like the history teacher who can dance jazz ballet in the movie, indifferent to class, trying to communicate with his wife after being interrupted He lost his desire to communicate and turned into a spectator; the music teacher endured the noise of the students, but he talked about his own accompaniment and completed his work regardless; the football coach knew that the contradictions between the students were often quiet and never adjusted. Hanging up...their exhaustion seems to have only done their best to cope with their current life and have no energy to manage other things, and they seem to have lost the courage and ability to change the status quo. After the program started, alcohol gave them strength, it was a remedy for the mental deficiency they had after one reached middle age, and they seemed to gain the presumptuousness from alcohol. Courage, began to act indulgently, with the chic and passion of young people, so life began to change.

The movie uses alcohol as an entry point to tell the middle-aged people who are ordinary and unwilling, and completes a good story elaboration, alcohol plan, and middle-aged people's courage to return to the plan.

    Uncle Maizi is too good at dancing, and the Danish drunken fist is well-deserved!

    Uh... In the second half, after getting drunk, my wife and I broke up, and then the fragmented narrative really broke down... I tried to explain the dilemma of mid-life crisis with an alcohol experiment. Alcohol is not harmful to people, and life is not harmful to people... The result The conclusion seems to be that you are the killer? And what is the conclusion? I feel like the writers and directors didn't think about it well. The role of Uncle Mai should be the "heroine" of this film. He kept smiling and restrained and watched the three men come and go, and finally stood in a high position without taking guilt. I saw myself like a mirror. It's a bit unpleasant, but the few golden sentences brought out by my wife and myself are also good, and the dance at the end is also good. In short, 3.5 is 3.
