Poetry and wine take advantage of the years

A very interesting movie, a group of elderly men get together, trying to return to the youthful days of fresh clothes and angry horses, and doing an experiment that seems absurd to outsiders. Alcohol and drunkenness are full of romanticism, which is deeply planted in Chinese culture, and it is because of the pressure of reality, or underappreciated, or shy, or slandered by others. With drunken emotion and arrogance, you can light a lamp to watch swords, dream back to blow a corner, lead Huang Qingcang, lead a bow to shoot Sirius, and be mad, laughing life is only 36,000 times of drunkenness, I can be safe again, I don't know the sky is in the water, but I feel that the dream is overwhelming the galaxy. It seems that only wine can take us into another world, a spiritual world of our own, and we may be willing to indulge in it forever, just like having a dream. In fact, wine is just to lead the way, and what we vent is our dissatisfaction with the world after all. Being awake is the reality, and being drunk is the ideal. We can't live in our ideal forever. A non-existent world can only bring you pain at the end. For example, at the end of the movie, every teacher who participated in the experiment lost a lot after being satisfied. We have to learn to love real people and the real world. As Romain Rolland said, "there is only one true heroism in the world, and that is to know the truth of life and still love it." In an ideal dream, there may be many disappointments and flaws, and this is what makes it attractive. It is enough to keep those beautiful things in my heart, because the dream will wake up eventually, but the memory will always shine!

    Alcohol is a metaphor, and people decide how much to get drunk.

    Will a human blood alcohol concentration of 0.05% be happier? The four teachers plan to verify by themselves. They start drinking every day, but they are more loved by the students. No alcohol is vulgar. To tell the truth, Winterberg's essay on alcoholism is still too sober, and the direction is almost clear at a glance. How to strike a balance between drinking mad songs and living a life full? Hitler did not drink, but Roosevelt Churchill was a drunkard, and human control of his behavior was the answer. There is a feeling of release in the ending, and I want to dry a bottle after reading it...

Another Round quotes

  • 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.

  • 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.
