      The big bitter and the little sweet, the loser's wine

      This movie is like wine for losers, some people hate it, some people love it.

      What's the point of the loser's wine? It is not for the loser to indulge in it and feel sorry for himself, but for the loser to still see hope in the despair of trying and fail, and have some sustenance to maintain the final dignity of human beings. The protagonist's experience is that he has been working hard until he is 40 years old. In the half of his life, he has no initial...

      Wine and song, life geometry? Why worry? Only Du Kang!

      The happy days of life are always short, and the rest are dull and boring life. Therefore, happy things are more memorable and memorable. Movies and real life are two completely different worlds. The ending of movies is often a happy ending, something that others yearn for, but it happens not to be in real life. But they are all playing different roles, some are big people, some are small people, some are successful wealthy businessmen, and some are middle school English teachers who are out of...

      Life is like wine, especially wine

      Some unfinished thoughts and feelings

      The first time I saw this film was in 2009, a season suitable for tight-fitting short-sleeved plaid shirts and a plaid shirt. In the lounge in the center, four or five people were nestled on the sofa. The lights were dim, but I was stunned. I yawned and didn't wait to finish it, I only vaguely remembered the large vineyards and fine wines in California and the happy scene of the four people tasting wine on the grass while the sun sets. I'll watch...

      hope you well...

      The more I drink, the more I like the feeling of drinking.
      I like to imagine the life cycle of wine.
      It's a living thing. I like to imagine what
      happened in the year the grapes were grown . The people who harvested the grapes if it was an old bottle, probably a lot of those people died I like the constant change of wine like, if I open a bottle of wine today it will taste different than any other day because a bottle Wine is actually alive and it's constantly evolving and getting...

      Life Wine Cup

      A film from ten years ago. Looking at it now, I think it will be more emotional to watch it again in ten years. Just like this tempting red wine, like this unpredictable life, this will never be out of date. Humans will always need wine, they need to taste life like red wine, and they will always taste intriguing. .
      The part where the hero, Miles, introduces to the layman Jack how to taste red wine, look first, tilt the glass, then look, smell again, smell it repeatedly, shake it into the...

      A LOSER drama, even the last touch of bright color is swaying. Without him, you can only face it calmly, face yourself, and continue to live. You don't have to wait until a special day to open up your treasured wine. The day you open your respect is special....

      In the morning, I was looking for a good morning entry, and I remembered the film I watched two days ago. After thinking about it, although the ending was considered to be open, the overall mood was still low, and it would be negative to put it on Monday. That's...

    Creation background

    Payne saw the novel of the same name written by Rex Pickett in 1999, and he was immediately attracted when he read this novel. The original work was originally a script, but what Pekert originally completed was that no one wanted to shoot the script, so he had to change it into a novel. The first draft of the novel was seen by Peckert’s old friend and producer Michael Langdon, who decided to recommend the novel to Alexander Payne,...

    "Life with a glass of wine" shows a truth: ordinary people's stories are more attractive to the audience than those dazzling stunts (Sina Entertainment Review)  .
    The character image of Miles portrayed by "Glasses of Wine" has a thought-provoking "three-dimensional" character and is full of humanity. This is the most conscious of the many ordinary characters portrayed by director Payne. The most exciting scene in the film is that Miles...

    Movie quotes

    • Jack: Listen, man. Cammi gets off in an hour, so I was thinking I'd just hang around and have a drink, and make sure she gets home safe.

      Miles Raymond: You're joking, right?

      Jack: No.

      Miles Raymond: Un-fucking-believable. Can't we just... go back to the motel... and hang out... and get up early, play 9 holes of golf... before we head home?

      Jack: [puts his hand on Miles' shoulder] Listen, man. You're my friend, and I know you care about me. And I know you disapprove, and I respect that. But there are some things that I have to do that you don't understand. You understand literature, movies, wine... but you don't understand my plight.

    • Miles Raymond: Give me a world!

    • [last lines]

      Maya: [on answering machine] Hello, Miles. It's Maya. Thanks for your letter. I-I would have called sooner, but I think I needed some time to think about everything that happened and... what you wrote to me. Another reason, um, I didn't call you sooner is because I wanted to finish your book, which I finally did last night. And I think it's really lovely, Miles. You're so good with words. Who cares if it's not getting published? There are so many beautiful and... painful things about it. Did you really go through all that? Must have been awful. And the sister character - jeez, what a wreck. But I have to say that, well, I was really confused by the ending. I mean, did the father finally commit suicide, or what? It's driving me crazy. Anyway, it's turned cold and rainy here lately, but I like winter. So, listen, if you ever do decide to come up here again, you should let me know. I would say stop by the restaurant, but to tell you the truth, I'm not sure how much longer I'm gonna be working there, because I'm going to graduate soon. So, I'll probably want to relocate. I mean, we'll see. Anyway, like I said, I really loved your novel. Don't give up, Miles. Keep writing. I hope you're well. Bye.
