A person who doesn't like drinking very much, but he likes this "SIDEWAYS" very much. There is so much sense after all.
The video comes from an old-fashioned formula. Miles (Paul Giamatti Paul Giamatti) and Jack (Thomas Haden Church Thomas Haden Church) are a pair of old friends who have been with each other for many years. Seeing that Jack is about to enter the marriage hall, it is a shame Miles sighed even more about his failed life: a failed marriage, his dream of being a writer is out of reach, he has a boring and boring career, and he is no longer young. However, as a lover of things in the glass, Miles has a deep research on wine, so the two decided to go to Napa Valley, a famous California wine production base, to have a party. Two friends drove a classic car, drank all the way, and swept the wineries all the way drunk. They met the good wine they were looking for, the beauties they were looking forward to, and the unbearable Aventure, but Will this make you happy?
That would make life too simple.
After some twists and turns, those who seek true love in life have found their true love, and those who were once discouraged also set off on the road again. It is not the most standard HAPPY ENDING, but it leaves people more thinking. And of course, there are those impressive, dazzling array of California wines.
The filming is very simple, and there are not too many embroidered legs. Even the hero and heroine are placed in the Hollywood star pile, which is definitely an ordinary variety that cannot be found at a glance. However, this emotional drama filmed in 2004 was ingeniously conceived, directly touching the hearts of the people, and the actors performed solidly. It was also a momentary moment. It won the 77th Academy Award for Best Picture in one fell swoop. Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress four nominations and finally won the best adapted screenplay. Considering the investment scale and cast list of the film, it is definitely a big return for a small investment.
Drinking is probably one of the oldest hobbies of mankind.
Since the invention of "wine", in addition to entertaining guests and friends, sacrificing celebrations, more often people regard it as a partner, a SOUL MATE who can't speak but wins my heart. Whether it’s a thousand cups of wine to meet a confidant, or to use wine to drown your sorrows and more sorrows, or when you enter your heart, all of them turn into tears of lovesickness. Drinking has become the best partner for people to vent their emotions, express their demands, communicate and show themselves. Isn't there a saying that wine is like a person's character, whether a person is worth interacting with can also be seen from the way he drinks. Not to mention that alcohol is a coward, pretending to be crazy with alcohol, telling the truth after drinking, etc. I don’t know when people drink alcohol not just for that little bit of alcohol stimulation, but for the sake of saying something they don’t dare to say. Speak out and do things you dare not do. At least, the simplest purpose is to be the true self, the self that you want to be in your mind.
At the end of the film, the male protagonist Miles' publishing dream is shattered. His ex-wife is about to marry someone else and is pregnant. Miles is alone in a fast food restaurant, eating hamburgers and drinking the bottle of his The 1961 Château Cheval Blanc that has been collected for many years (Maya once told him that he would only open this bottle of wine at the most important moment), if not for the director's mercy, let him receive Maya's phone message, I don't know How will this middle-aged man's life end in the second half of his life? Fortunately, at this moment, there is still his favorite wine with him, like an old friend. For him, this glass of wine represents his understanding of life, and the backbone of continuing to live, even if it is only a self-made illusory totem.
Attentive viewers may have discovered that the original English name of the film "SIDEWAYS", which translates to "deviation, tilt, turn" and so on, has nothing to do with the Chinese film title "Life with a Cup of Wine". Except for the wine from Napa Valley, California, which was borrowed by the director, it appeared again and again in the film. As the most important clue medium, the film moved forward in series. If this can be regarded as a reason.
Combined with the famous "Hangover" a few years later, it was another ridiculous film that made people spray drinks on the computer screen. This type of work ostensibly reflects the last night before the American wedding. The crazy behavior is actually to analyze the life status, emotional entanglement and future of men and women in modern cities from a very small but very subtle perspective. Of course, everyone has their own definition of the future, and some people need a gold list title. , Homecoming, and some people are nothing more than seeking a hearty, drunk.
The city is not easy to live in. Fierce competition, suffocating pressure, fast rhythm, and ubiquitous crisis made Miles couldn't help but let out his final roar , "I'm a fingerprint on the window of a skyscraper! I'm the one when I go to the toilet. Toilet paper! I'm just a piece of rubbish thrown into the ocean! I'm useless to the world! I'm superfluous!" He did, so what about ourselves? How do we live in reality? Although people often say that drama is like life, but life is not like drama. Life is far more complicated and cruel than drama, with much darker reality.
Fortunately, as in the play, we still have wine.
Drinking is a wonderful thing, and it is not so easy to have a good drink.
First you need a good bottle of wine. Whether it is white wine, rice wine, beer, or whisky and brandy wine, a bottle of real good wine can bring real pleasure to people, and the bad impression brought by a bottle of inferior wine is very serious and cannot be added. As far as wine is concerned, the big division is nothing more than the two camps of the old world and the new world. In terms of subdivision, France, Spain, and Italy are typical representatives of the old world, while the United States, South Africa, New Zealand, Chile, and Australia are the latter part of the new world. Show, but also has a large number of fans. After all, radishes and vegetables, each has its own love. Expensive wine is not necessarily the best wine for you, the wine that suits you is the best wine.
Second, and most importantly, a good drinking buddy is essential. It's not impossible for a person to drink boringly, but what is the joy of being alone and having fun? A few good drinking friends who are knowledgeable, trust each other, and drink the same amount of alcohol, are a rare treasure in life. Sitting around three or five times, changing the cup, or drinking lightly or drinking heavily, should be a joy in life. In fact, everyone felt like a mirror in their hearts, and it was very clear that a group of people sitting together was not greedy for this little thing in the cup, but created a free and happy atmosphere. After all, in this fucking world, how to live affectionately also requires great courage and strength.
As for the rest, it doesn't matter whether you need a drink, whether you're happy or unhappy, whether you drink it at home, in a pub, or sitting on the curb. As long as there is good wine, the right person, and the rest doesn't matter.
Life needs a good glass of wine, and more importantly, someone who can share a good glass of wine with you. Otherwise, just like Li Taibai, we can only raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and we will form three people against Yingying.
Drink alone under the moon
A pot of wine between the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date.
Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and form three people against each other.
The moon is not able to drink, and the shadow disciple follows me.
Temporarily accompany the shadow of the moon, and the music must be in the spring.
My song month is wandering, and my dancing shadow is messy.
Intercourse when awake, and disperse when drunk.
Eternal knot ruthless travel, looking forward to Miao Yunhan.
