Movies my dad might like

This is a film jointly produced by Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands, so it is rare for me to watch a subtitled movie in a London cinema.

The four middle-aged old friends all work as teachers in a small town school and lead a lifeless teaching life day after day. A birthday party talked about a new theory of a Norwegian psychologist: When the alcohol content in the human body reaches 0.5%, people are the most relaxed, creative and open time, so people should drink. (Oh, isn’t this really a thesis of the British Empire!!!)

So... the four people started their rigorous experiment: bring alcohol and alcohol tester (check drunk driving) to class to see what alcohol level is the best in get out of class. The four people also wrote papers very seriously............ (this may be the Nordic spirit......) from the effect of less than 0.5% to the state of 1.2% to the "maximum value" (that is,... The kind of "test" on the side of the road.

How to say, very, Hmm, a kind of film that is difficult to define. It includes teaching methods, teacher-student relationship, friendship and love, mid-life crisis, funerals and graduation ceremonies.

It's like everyone's life, you don't know what will come first, you may not be able to grasp it, and you don't want to go with the flow, and you don't want to lose control.

Perhaps there is such a strange boundary. What kind of seasoning in life must have a degree.

Mads Mikkelsen is really amazing, his stern face can actually see the markings in his heart from the subtleties. The final jazz ballet is awesome! Uncle jumped too powerfully!

    Human beings operate in an orderly manner, but they move forward out of control. Sports are dead, music is good, and history is still there. The feeling of alcoholics watching this movie is that the 0.05% is too good, too rare, too difficult.. Got it.

    Very personal and empathetic, we see the sincerity, sincerity and piety of an author who is like a friend around him facing life and creation.

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.
