Have had a brilliant summer.

! contains spoilers)

It took a while to distinguish the names of the four

I like that psychic teacher with a round face

Physical education teacher can't persuade

After all, the history teacher is the most man and the most charming

(Seeing the above, I know I can't tell the name again)

drinking in summer

Plot: It is a bit of a theater-style split screen, an experiment of four men: it starts with a dinner for four and ends with a dinner for three.

An almost scientific alcohol experiment for men, even the control variables are well done, the selection of variables is also very good, and the results are recorded rigorously.

death is a boy

    After "Life with a Cup of Wine", another drink-themed funeral and burning film, and it was shot for middle-aged people. I saw tears in my eyes in the cold winter, and I probably lived to the age of mid-life crisis. The direction of the film once made people feel broken, but fortunately, the director finally gave enough face to the middle-aged people and did not embarrass us too much. The director's attitude towards wine is still ambiguous: it is a testament to God's favor on us, and it is also a devil that devours us at any time. At the end, only three of the four middle-aged straight men are left. This is a crueler thing than a mid-life crisis. When a person reaches middle age, death will get closer and closer to him. And there are things as cruel as wine: if you choose to maintain health, you can live a long life, nor do you choose to have fun in time, and there is only one dead end.

    Originally it was three and a half to four stars, and the third act dropped directly to three stars. The biggest problem with this film is that I don't know what I want to say in the third act. The information I want to convey in the third act begins to contradict the previous ones. The movie itself is not bad in terms of production, but the whole script has big problems. In the second half, the rhythm and information became more and more weird, as if something had been laying the groundwork, but in the end there was nothing. There is no big problem with the performance, but the four protagonists themselves are very similar, leading to the illusion of why the four characters are separated. Generally speaking, it is not very recommended. If the movie itself wants to convey the message to be conveyed in the third act. I will probably lower the score again.

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.
