I always like those little literary films with bland narratives. Long aftertaste, like a good wine. Miles in the film is an ordinary middle school teacher, embracing the dream of a writer, emotional, sensitive, and repeatedly frustrated in real life. He is proficient in wine, as he likes the wine brewed with PINOT NOIR (Pinot Noir), and despises the wine brewed with Merlot (MERLOT). Such an attitude is the same as his attitude towards himself, towards love, towards his dreams. Pinot Noir grapes are extremely difficult to cultivate and survive. They like to grow in inconspicuous corners and require the patient care of those who understand their character. However, the wine brewed from it does have a unique, rich and subtle taste. In comparison, the wines made from Merlot grapes are too ordinary. Like the Pinot Noir grape, Miles is reluctant to succumb to ordinary reality. However, he rejected the vulgar but was unable to resist the ordinary. When his dream was shattered, he felt as small as "a fingerprint on a glass building".
People's troubles may come from confrontation with reality, but I like all the movies that show such confrontation. Sideway, it easily reminds me of the emotion I saw at the career a few days ago, how the road of life is getting narrower and narrower. People can only have such a tiny existence, and they can only use a little persistence to remind themselves of the difference from others. Then the last thing that can warm the heart is love. Is it love who cares for Pinot Noir grapes and finally brews great wine? Plain and warm feelings.
Confrontation is beautiful, and inner peace after confrontation is also beautiful. In the end, Miles was able to face his ex-wife calmly, and he also abandoned his needless insistence to drink a bottle of extremely precious wine from a Coke glass in a fast food restaurant. Don't wait for any special day, the day you open such a precious bottle of wine is an extraordinary day. Let go of the confrontation, enjoy the moment, and pursue it with courage.
