"poetry and hops" these three things are really intoxicating! Poets in ancient times either made songs because of wine, or made poems for flowers. The former is like Li Bai, the latter is like Liu Yong. But men tend to like poets who drink, and women like lyricists who love flowers. But men drink, or worry about flowers, but they are always concerned.
Nicolas Cage's "Leaving Las Vegas" was hidden in my E drive and accidentally dragged to the desktop, deleted? Haven't watched it yet, sorry! So take a look. The protagonist Ben bought wine as soon as he appeared, and then he found a woman out of loneliness. When the prostitute was sucking his finger, he took the wedding ring and ran away, so he said: "Did my wife leave me because of the wine, or because my wife left? I drink?" After saying this, he became a real alcoholic!
I have never seen an alcoholic, nor have I experienced the spirit of an alcoholic who is addicted to alcohol, but I have heard that an alcoholic can rummage through the boxes for the sake of alcohol, and can only drink without eating. An alcoholic like Ben, in desperation, sells everything, sells wine and flowers, and rots to the end! In this way, they naturally have "karma" with prostitutes, and they sympathize with each other because they are both hopeless and degenerate.
This whore is Sarah, the angel of the alcoholic Ben. Because Ben is a lost soul, he can't give love to Sarah. An alcoholic who became an alcoholic because of his wife's divorce, and became attached to Sarah because of the alcoholic's wildness in happiness.
People today say "laugh at the poor but not at the prostitute", but who wants to be a prostitute? It is abnormal to make this choice, and prostitutes can best reflect the deformed state of a society, so social history is also the history of prostitutes. I haven't dealt with prostitutes, so I can't talk about it here.
The story is always suspenseful, who can save Ben? How does Sarah save Ben? Sarah made Ben move into her own home, bought him fancy wine cans, bright T-shirts, and went to gamble together to try to win something back...but none of this could save Ben, he was like Dionysus, the god of wine. Possessed, still squandering wine and body, until - thirst!
Our director is obviously a rationalist, he did not choose to use Christ to save our protagonist, we see that when a desperate man is holding a wine glass in the street, the nun is preaching not far away, but he ignores him . Who can save him! ? —When he had to save himself.
Sarah was just a prostitute when she was gang-raped by three student-like teenagers, Angel and Evil, who was it? And is Ben also a gang-rape? The difference is that one was physically gang-raped, the other was mentally gang-raped; one was gang-raped because of his occupation, and the other was waiting to be gang-raped and trampled because of frustration. The physical gang-rapist can continue to live in the end, but the spiritual gang-rapist is completely exhausted and dies.
Ben met Sarah at the end of his life, she may be Cancer, kind, beautiful and considerate, Ben said again and again: "You are my angel" because she made him happy! But we never see God! Man, no one can save you. Ben was given up, or he gave up on his own, and chose a happy ending—and a helpless ending!
I admire the director's wide opening and closing without losing the delicateness, the beautiful details, and the magnificent and poignant ending! That's a big deal! This shows the criticism of art and the portrayal of people.
