【Losers and Ordinary People】

[Two men, a journey]

Two men.
One who understands women, understands excitement, and understands freedom and ease.
One understands literature, movies, and wine.

In a journey,
one is looking for Yun Yu before getting married;
the other is looking for true love two years after the divorce.

One is inferior and open, feeling "nothing" when worried about losing.
One is low self-esteem and closed, feeling "small" when almost everything is lost.

[Losers and Ordinary People]

Sideways is translated as
the name of Miles, the protagonist of "Life with a Glass of Wine", which is even more meaningful.
If mile is the measurement unit
of way, what kind of imprint does the hero leave on the way of life?

Failed appearance
Failed character
Failed marriage
Failed career

If we use the "bipolar law" to define people, then except for a few successful people,
most people in the world are considered losers. Is not it?

Perhaps, miles can not be regarded as a failure,
he can only be regarded as an ordinary person.

In fact, like most people, he is too
ordinary to be ordinary, but he is not ordinary,

because they understand "literature", "movie", and "wine".

    Life is like wine, some strong and some strong. Youyou's past is full of sorrows, and the wine in the glass is exhausted.

    Frustrated life is also very mellow after a glass of pinot is passed down the throat. A bland journey full of helplessness and humor, the search for value and meaning, accompanied by swaying charming music and comfortable telling rhythm, makes people feel a lot of aftertastes. The script is awesome. The middle-aged rotten boy has superb acting skills and subtle emotional handling. Also, listening to Giamatti read the lines was a real treat.
