Do Vikings always have to go on voyages? Some young and middle-aged Vikings made this "Alcohol Project".

The male protagonist and three friends are primary and secondary school teachers. They carefully teach children to learn knowledge and explore the truth. They must know how to cooperate on the sports field and listen to the voice of art and science. The little Vikings follow the teachings and sense the seeds of longing for the ocean and struggle in their bodies. Alcohol is the water of life that promotes their germination and growth. , hidden in the bottle of mysterious drink before the exam. Alcohol pushes them to grow up to embrace the ocean, to be Vikings on voyages.

And middle-aged Vikings, whether drinking fine wine with family and friends or drinking alone, should be careful about the alcohol recorder in their hands or in their hearts while tasting patiently and meticulously, because the seeds in their bodies have already taken root and blossomed. Even if they yearn for freedom.

At the end of the film, the male protagonist completes the leap of faith towards the sailboat in the sea at the graduation party of the young students, and tells them to be fearless Vikings. This voyage never stops.

    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.

  • 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.
