Grandma's, another round!

Compared with "Alcohol Project", I prefer the English title "Another round", which means another round, it can better convey the connotation of the film - the fucking life tramples and humiliates us again and again, presses us over and over again. Friction on the ground, but as long as there is still a breath, never surrender!

Although it is slightly vulgar, it has the same meaning as Romain Rolland, "There is only one kind of heroism in this world, and that is to love life after recognizing the truth of life."

Although people live more and more like a horror movie in middle age, and although life is not the worst but worse, we still choose to love life, because that is how we resist life. Life is cold and cruel, and we give it warmth with resistance; life has no meaning, we give it meaning with resistance. In a world of increasing entropy, let's go upstream!

What is youth? Nanke's dream. What is love? Creatures of dreams. Since it's all a dream, why not have a sweet dream? Come, come, let us drink the bitter drink of life, let us dance, let us sing.

Grandma's, another round!

    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.

    When I was young, I always wondered why my dad and his brothers could drink peanuts and ham in the simplest form for a night, and the sadness on their faces gradually melted away... Later, until I started to drink, and more and more people have drunk, and finally realized: I don’t love wine when I am old, and I deserve to be sorrowful.

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.
