Life is like wine, especially wine

Some unfinished thoughts and feelings

The first time I saw this film was in 2009, a season suitable for tight-fitting short-sleeved plaid shirts and a plaid shirt. In the lounge in the center, four or five people were nestled on the sofa. The lights were dim, but I was stunned. I yawned and didn't wait to finish it, I only vaguely remembered the large vineyards and fine wines in California and the happy scene of the four people tasting wine on the grass while the sun sets. I'll watch it tonight, the amber scene is accompanied by 4 soothing Jazz music. It lays a relaxed and cheerful tone for the movie, and the narration is full of highlights and repeated plots. Of course, there is also a happy ending. All the masters are married. Yes, this is a good film.

The English name of the movie sideways translates into a glass of wine. Life is very particular. The middle-aged and old man Miles. This is completely reflected in the eyes of Miles looking at the dark liquid swaying in the goblet. The quality of the wine is very high. It’s about being particular about the year, climate, rain, sunshine, etc.

There is no chance and so-called grasp that you can almost seize, in fact, maybe everything comes from the rhythm, and the preset plot often does not change with the monitoring of time. It came true, just like the 61-year-old chateau cheval blanc that the male protagonist collected for the tenth anniversary, and in the end he just drank it in a paper cup with slender bread alone in the restaurant (think of Jack driving in the car at the beginning Jiu Jiqin is also very happy), but it is really impossible to conclude that his face was not calm and satisfied at that moment.
