Life may be just a sip of wine

A few days ago, I revisited "Life with a Cup of Wine". In 2004, the director made a low-cost fight for the big production and used this freehand low-cost independent film to enter the Oscar of the drunk fans. At that time I just fell in love with wine, so just listening to the grape varieties in the movie that I can't understand is very enjoyable.
Also from this movie, Pinot Noir has taken the world by storm, and the click-through rate in restaurants has soared. Everyone wants to taste the wine that makes the protagonist Miles mesmerized, and feel how the wine made from such delicate grapes will surprise our taste buds. Recall from the experience, release the depression a little bit, and then realize that what is forgotten is myself and what is remembered is the past. Miles violently grabbed a handful of anti-depressant medicine and threw it into his mouth, enduring his anger and asked the waiter to pour Shiraz wine into his glass, a glass, a glass, a glass... the waiter tasted the wine. Adding the weight, like being restricted in memory, Miles broke out, and he shouted for the waiter to fill it up. But it is conceivable that for a winemaker, every bottle of wine is his own child. They can only be appreciated or evaluated, but they are never allowed to be ruined. Therefore, the wine is in contention like Miles’ hope. Like being destroyed.

Miles and Jack’s journey in the name of Jack’s last single time before marriage. Jack started with a carnival mentality from the beginning, so that he would appear naked and ran 5 kilometers back to the hotel, passing by an ostrich field. event. Every time I see this, I still burst into laughter.

People who have experienced those sorrows and want to forget have forgotten you before you want to forget her. That is a kind of unwillingness to be abandoned twice. People sometimes blindly care about such "vicious competition" and ignore the more cherished people who have already appeared around them. Miles met Meiya, and he didn't dare to admit that Meiya was actually more worthy of his holding hands than his ex-wife. He was a little bit pushy. The lie covering Jack's imminent marriage extinguished the love they had just ignited, just like a bottle of good wine, opened at an inappropriate time, it is a pity that the wine is also a pity for our expectations of wine.
Miles is in a fast food restaurant, drinking the wine he has always treasured in a plastic cup. On such occasions, this kind of self. He forgets the treasured past in the simplest way like this bottle of wine. After drinking, he is relaxed.

At the end of the film, Miles received a message from Maya, and she finished reading his novel. Miles did not hesitate at this moment, a knock on the door made us knowingly smile.

Sometimes don't care about the origin, variety, and vintage of a bottle of wine. As long as it has a sensation, why not taste it and let the wine overflow from the tip of your tongue to verify your original feeling. Maybe it's not really that right, but it's always a kind of cognition. What is cognition is wine, but it is not cognition of itself. Sometimes the fine wines in the collection are really like a thorn in my heart. Every time I want to drink it, I often find many excuses for myself. You can’t find the perfect reason to enjoy it or you can’t find the right person to share it. In the end, you may have missed the best time to enjoy it, or the people who have appeared may have long gone because of their hesitation. We who missed the best time, regretted not in the beginning in sigh. The right person is the right wine. Don't hesitate in the past and don't care about other conditions of wine and deny your choice.

Life with a glass of wine, drink in your heart...

    "You know literature, movies, and wine, but you don't understand my plight."

    It turned out that Xin Hua Lu Fang learned this, but unfortunately Ning Hao just played a little trick on the structure and did not learn the essence of Payne. It was a bit boring at first, but it got better and better as it went on. The conversation between Maya and Miles about wine and life was very touching. Jack regretted and cried bitterly for losing his ring, but what touched me most was that the protagonist tasted the 61-year-old wine alone, just like tasting his bitter and frustrated life.
