The film "Lost Weekend" has won the EighteenThirth Academy Award for Best Picture and other awards, and many awards. This film, the first in the United States, explores a film about alcoholism. The film is based on an autobiographical novel.
The protagonist of the movie "The Lost Periphery", Tang, is a talented teenager, a writer who has achieved great success since childhood, and has shown extraordinary talent in writing at a young age. Conceited, he decided to drop out of school and come to London to earn a living, but here he was full of setbacks. Because, he failed to write a successful work.
No successful work can prove itself. One after another of rejections, from the beginning of the self-confidence, to the back of the resentment, I chose to use alcohol to anesthetize myself.
I wanted to use alcohol to temporarily relieve myself, but I didn't expect that alcohol would make me fall deeper and deeper. He became a drunkard through and through.
Usually economically embarrassed, he took everything around him that could be exchanged for money for wine. On weekdays, his financial resources are entirely dependent on his brother.
By chance, in the opera house, I met a big beautiful woman, and love came like this. The magic of love is very great, for this beautiful woman, Tang unexpectedly, quit drinking successfully.
Tang, who was fragile by nature, did not leave alcohol for long. He is sensitive by nature, so after hearing a bad evaluation of himself by the future husband, he broke down again and returned to the embrace of alcohol.
It's really very glass heart, Don and his girlfriend showdown, saying that he is an alcoholic without any self-control. Even, in this case, the girlfriend did not abandon him. Encourage Don to cheer up.
Don struggled with alcohol for many years and still couldn't get rid of alcohol. Even, for the sake of drinking money, they went to steal people's wallets. The younger brothers all lost confidence in this indisputable brother.
On a trip to borrow money to sell alcohol, Don fell and was sent to a compulsory alcohol rehab center. There, he saw many physically and mentally devastated drunkards, and Don believed that this place was a hell, and he desperately wanted to escape.
Tang, who ran out, ran to the tavern in one breath and grabbed the wine to drink. Unexpectedly, the alcohol concentration was too high, and at night, Don actually hallucinated. Don, who was already desperate, took his girlfriend's coat and prepared to use it, change it into a pistol, and end his life.
The girlfriend loves this man, desperate to prevent it from happening. She encouraged Don to start writing again and would definitely become a true writer. After some deep reflection, Tang actually did it. All the waiting and hard work of the girlfriend has also been rewarded.
The director of this film, when expressing Tang, as an alcoholic state, the accurate grasp and vivid description are very, very in place, although, in the end, the male protagonist walked out of the magic barrier, the transformation was a little sudden, but the beginning and end echoed, but it can also be regarded as a wonderful docking. This movie, the most wonderful thing is the details and lines, it can be said that it is very careful and perfect.
For "Lost Weekend", Western reviews, it is a serious discussion of alcoholism, but the director of this film, the camera is very good, even if it is a serious film, it is also a different feeling.
In the whole movie, the role of the girlfriend is definitely a very different role, she is optimistic, stoic, to her boyfriend, in the career of the instrument, do not give up, firmly believe that there must be a way to cure. This makes people feel like an oriental woman.
In the end, when Tang decided to commit suicide, at this time, the calmness and wit shown by the girlfriend were not available to oriental women. It is a very positive female figure.
At the same time, Tang can be said to have done his best in the matter of alcoholism, made a lot of excessive moves, portrayed an alcoholic, and handled the details very well, but not so annoying.
In short, the film is seriously selected, but the director used a very relaxed way to grasp the balance between the characters very well, and this balance made the film a success, so this enduring film is very worth watching.
