Tetris

What the title means is that the film is structured like Tetris, and every link is well made up.

In fact, this kind of film can be regarded as a manifestation of relaxation. Scott bid farewell to Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven and other films that made him "tired" enough, and found a comfortable French pastoral scene, brought Crowe, and enjoyed there lifetime together.

The overall rhythm of the film is relaxed and happy, the plot is very soothing, and the story is embellished with a few pistachios, which is very suitable for soothing nerves. From the feel, this film is very similar to the style of the match man, humorous, happy and sophisticated. The story itself is not big, and the front and back are a little loose, but it's fun.

Apart from historical dramas, serious dramas, and science fiction dramas, Scott still has his own characteristics in the handling of such humorous little comedies. The story itself doesn't need too many waves, just keep it free and flowing, with some nice little ideas, and that's enough.

A Good Year quotes

  • Uncle Henry Skinner: Max, have I told you why I enjoy making wine so much?

    Young Max: You don't make the wine, Uncle Henry - that guy Duflot does.

    Uncle Henry Skinner: [Reproachfully] In France it's always the landowner who makes the wine, even though he does nothing more than supervise with binoculars from the comfort of his study. No, I enjoy making wine, because this sublime nectar is quite simply incapable of lying. Picked too early, picked too late, it matters not - the wine will always whisper into your mouth with complete, unabashed honesty every time you take a sip.

  • Max Skinner: Good morning, lab rats.

    Assembled traders and staff: Good morning, Max.

    Max Skinner: Today we're shifting gears. Today... is "greedy bastard" day.

    [Assembled traders and staff let out a murmur of excitement]

    Max Skinner: The secret to riches, lab rats, is the same as the secret to comedy: timing.
