Middle age is an age of reflection

Too many things have passed, know the depth, no longer dream. Too many people have seen it, and the world is hot and cold, and I have experienced it. People are no longer excited, but also easily touched.

Alcohol is just an image and can be a middle-aged dream in many ways.

It is the stage of looking back at the road in the past and looking up at the road ahead. Swallow the pain by yourself, speak your own words, and solve things by yourself.

Familiarity with the world, lost passion and curiosity. What you get is disappointment and boredom. And broken dreams. Physical decline.

Return to zero, empty the cup, throw away the baggage, overcome cowardice, and keep going.

The past is worthless, dragging a half-disabled body and living a life that seems to be repeated, where does the courage come from?

    This world has never been what you expected, a small drink is happy, a big drink hurts the body, and a drunken drink disappears.

    3.5. The theme of the film is calm, but the victory lies in the connotation of a meticulous rigidity. The plight of straight men who have nowhere to go after depression is fully magnified by alcohol. Uncle Mi’s performance is the source of meticulousness, but the visually meticulously processed tones and the level of detail in the dark parts also give a soft halo of "hardness" and "straightness", which seems to give straight men a soft halo. Layered "wedding" style soft touch. This is probably the only film I want to experience the visual experience on the big screen so far in 2021, and it is also a sample film that photography gives the film soul.
