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 Just like this tempting red wine, like this unpredictable life, this will never be out of date.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 air, smell it again, and take a sip. Finally, at the last step, Jack couldn't wait to drank the red wine in the glass and said "delicious", while Miles next to him just took a sip, closed his eyes and slowly aftertaste, making the audience's sight, smell and taste. All mobilized, and stared at that seductive jewel-like liquid with fantasies.
I believe this film will make Pinot even more beautiful. For the various wine names with vintages in the film, it will definitely make wine fans addicted, so this film will attract people who understand red wine, and the philosophical title of "Life with a Glass of Wine" will definitely It will attract people who understand life and want to understand life.
Life is not about drinking, traveling, picking up girls, and popping fast food restaurants. Life is full of mediocre careers, unfulfilled hopes, desperate marriages, poor life, and shattered dreams; life has unfulfilled desires and unwillingness. The status quo, lies, deceit, betrayal, tears and a broken nose by a lover. The 61-year-old treasure, which was originally treasured with great expectation, was finally swallowed alone with a hamburger in a disposable paper cup in a fast food restaurant. At this time, the wine is no longer a taste, but a swallow, because it is mixed with the suffering and despair of life. Although after an absurd journey, fortunately at the end, miles and jack both returned to the normal life without any risk. This derailment in the name of a wine tasting trip must have taught the two not only what red wine is, but also what life is. I believe that Miles' eyes will be less empty after this, and Jack's marginal desire and desperate cry will be less.
People who don’t understand red wine, such as me, can still resonate with the film, because life is like red wine. The primary tasting can only tell whether it is delicious or not, and I don’t know how to appreciate and taste it. It may only be used as a tool to quench thirst or socialize. With the deepening of quality and understanding, the true meaning of life deserves serious consideration by everyone, and the relationship between people around you and yourself and yourself and yourself deserves serious consideration by everyone. Taste the weight of alcohol and tannin in the wine, the year of the wine, the texture of the wine, the process of tasting the grape from nature to the glass, release the life of the red wine at the moment of opening the wine, and enjoy and enjoy it in the taste. sublimation.
As a feature film, the warm amber color gives the film a hazy beauty, and the film as a whole presents a seemingly bland or even boring tone, even if there are two scenes of nudity of the lower body, it does not make people feel abrupt and unacceptable. But isn't that what life is like? The major events of your life are not worth mentioning to others at all, and only you know the ups and downs. When Jack was naked and embarrassed with the sheets and crying and begging Miles to help him, he must not lose his fiancée. I believe that everyone must have forgiven Hua Xin Da Jack from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he finally understood the true meaning of his life. There is a price to be paid for everything, even if there is a best friend next to him.

    Hey, Payne is really my dish, very beautiful. In general, the drama is quite strong, but Losers are not a difficult group to control, but they always find it interesting and pitiful to see people who are stupid. Jack looks too much like Schwarzenegger~

    Re-watching, can't help but add five stars. This film is a good glass of wine, and every time I watch it, I have a different feeling. The stages and experiences of life, bumps and compromises again and again, are actually difficult to describe in a single word.

Sideways quotes

  • Miles Raymond: Did you read the latest draft, by the way?

    Jack: Oh, yeah. Yeah.

    Miles Raymond: And?

    Jack: It's great. I mean there are so many improvements. It's much tighter, just seems... I don't know, more congealed or something.

    Miles Raymond: Mm-hmm. What about the new ending? Did you like that?

    Jack: Oh, yeah. New ending vastly superior to the old ending.

    Miles Raymond: There is no new ending. Page 750 on is exactly the same.

    Jack: [pause] Well... maybe it just seemed new because everything leading up to it was so different?

    Miles Raymond: [sarcastically] Yeah, that must be it!

  • Miles Raymond: [to Jack] You fucking derelict.
