They drink pretty much the whole movie. It was a game to drink along with them when my partner and I were younger.
But they don’t though. They are only seen drinking alcohol at the end on Christmas Day. Literally, there’s only a few scenes that even feature the parents, and none of them until the end include alcohol consumption.
Chronic alcoholism, and their tinsel was filled with lead
the 1950s and its consequences has been a disaster for the human race
The idea to decrease alcohol consumption is an incredibly recent development in human history.
Which started long before the 1950s. The temperance movement in the US started in the first half of the 19th century.
So relatively recent yeah, but not really relevant in this comment thread.
Did you know that human history includes historic events that happened in the second half of the 18th century? It’s true!
Some historic events didn’t even include Americans!
You mean like Islam?
You’re right, elimination is a decrease. Point taken.
Probably because alcohol and automobiles don’t mix too well
The lead made the tinsel taste better though.
If there is one thing I could bring back from that era, it would be the durability of their appliances and materials. Much better than this throwaway culture we have, where everything is made to last a couple years past warranty, then thrown out at the first sign of malfunction. Shit from the 1950’s was built to endure decades of regular use, and repairs were simple and cheap.
Sure was fun though!
As long as you weren’t Black, Native, gay, trans, homeless, a woman, or any other marginalized group – then yeah, the 50s were grand
You know this wine’s not bad. It’s not good either.
Fragil’ee. Must be Italian!
The knowledge that they were drunk the whole time puts the whole movie in a different context.
I am pretty sure the wine was homemade and gifted to them from another family member? So they decided to drink it after opening it. Not that it changes anything, but at least there was some context as to why.
That’s a level of detail definitely not announced in the movie. The only time the wine is referenced is when the dad says “the wine’s not bad, it’s not good either!”
can’t tell if this is a photo of a paper or the editor went through the effort of making the black text background look better than just plain black, either way kudos
