On the Importance of Coffee (Posture) and Coffee (Potential)

"Es kommt nicht drauf an, wie alt man wird, sondern darauf an, wie man alt wird."

"What really matters is not how old a person is, but how they age"

There was a time when I didn't drink coffee, The reason is a bit complicated. In that self-righteous era, how could I admit the fact that I failed to pick up girls, so I can only say that coffee made my heart beat unstable. But this obsessive-compulsive psychological suggestion was immediately overcome by the environment. Generally the air here is odorless - except in the morning. Every day in the city when it comes to work, the pervasive smell of coffee fills all the bakeries and libraries of subway stations, railway stations, and railway stations. Over time it became a habit. Once people have a habit, they will find various reasons for their own habits: sleepy, tired, have a drink! Nervous and confused? have a drink! What's wrong with eating bread in the morning? Come on! Ah, have a drink! In fact, I have always been very skeptical about whether coffee can really refresh the mind. I review my homework with my German classmates all year round. They always give me the feeling of having a shot when they drink coffee... This kind of bad student's pre-exam decadent style deeply attracted me, making me feel that only this kind of The coffee sold in the automatic coffee machine is the real coffee. I don't know what it is like Starbucks...

So I can understand Niko, even if he is a typical Berlin decadent teenager, I can still understand him. Because when you wake up in the morning, you have to have a hair, er cup, or you always feel like you are on the street without washing your face, brushing your teeth and getting dressed. The sense of ritual is very important, which is a sign of becoming (changing) mature (old). I've always felt that Europe is an old fashioned place, not just culturally. It is the details that are superfluous in the eyes of others, full of ritual, even for Germans who can be described as "dirty". In "Inglourious Basterds", Chiristoph Waltz plays this tune to the fullest: he opens the ink bottle at the farmer's house to absorb ink from the pen, vigorously brushes the tablecloth when he sits at the dining table, and eats the snack when he eats snacks. I ate them one by one with a fork, and when I left, I was very unprofessional to pinch the cigarettes on the unfinished snacks... You can call this kind of aristocratic temperament (the word sounds so earthy now), but In my opinion, this is a kind of old-fashioned sense of ritual that is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Precious, interesting, and lifeless.

What Niko's dad said to him: If you have the right attitude, you can make it right! That's what it means. After playing the ball, he sat down calmly, ordered three cups of Schnapps, and trained his son to the fullest. Every word seemed to have been said a thousand times, ruthless and domineering. After saying that, take a sip of the wine and cough again. This fucking is a successful person, and I am completely proud of my posture.

But no matter how domineering you are, you are already old, and people will always get old. If you can find the fun of ritual before you can sigh about how time flies, then this is also a thing worth using to be bored.

I don't know if the arabica or columbia in it is really as good as the cheap waitress said, I think if I'm in the right posture, it will not taste bad.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a brisk and not dull literary film. 90 minutes is the perfect length for a literary film.

    How dark is the type of comedy... It's empathy +1, the shooting technique of the new director, black and white, the German Boy who has nothing to do is constantly lost in life. . The source of the lost cannot be the idle days. Often, the busier you are, the more anxious you are. You don’t know how to do it, and you are always being questioned by the people around you. But when you look back and think carefully, you will find that it is really not someone else, but own problem
