What a life – the alcohol program is more of a drama

As a middle-aged history teacher, middle-aged Mai chose to drink and relax with friends after experiencing double disappointment in the workplace. It can't be said that the film must end badly, but that's just one aspect. When the film finally bid farewell to the graduates, everyone danced and alcoholic beverages flew in the air, more like a modern version of Dionysus' "Bacchus sacrifice", conveying a kind of drama. To achieve pleasure through drinking, and to integrate this perfect physical state into work and study, this approach is dramatic and easy to lose in life. So from a "dramatic" perspective, this is the inevitable reason for the failure of the alcohol program. Because alcoholism must be out of life. Therefore, the alcohol project is more like a drama. What the drama brings us is an exaggerated life, from a story to experience a feeling similar to life.

First of all, this movie shows the wonderful appearance of Uncle Maizi very well. Even the uncle does not feel depressed, but brings a kind of wanton chic. The crying of multiple clips is so distressing ah ah ah ah ah, the "what a life" at the end of the film is very good, showing the sexy and handsome Uncle Maizi perfectly!

    Finally there is a film that can show the gymnastics/ballet skills of Uncle Mai. It is a cliché material for a man in a middle-age crisis to drunk his sorrows, but whether it is drunken hand-held photography or a candid script, this film is enough to stand out from the crowd. And the Danish national anthem and national flag that constantly appear in the film, as well as the line about the national drinking, make people feel that the film is to some extent also a comment on the current confusion of Denmark as a country.

    50/100, the film was drunk so the director drank too much? The chaotic narrative trajectory makes the already lackluster middle-aged male confused theme even more unbearable, and the final carnival is really unsightly.
