"Why are you so interested in wine?"
"I always think of wine. A lifetime. Thinking of it as a living thing, alive and alive. I always think about what happened in the year the grapes were grown, how the sun spread over the earth, and if it rained, what would it be? How do people take care of those grapes and pick them. If it's a bottle of old wine, how many people who took care of those grapes have already died. I always think about how wine is constantly growing and changing, just like today if I When you open a bottle of wine, it must taste different than when you open it any other day. Because wine is alive, and it is constantly changing and becoming more complex. Until it reaches its peak, and then it begins It's a stable, aging process, like you said 61 years..."
I never thought that a glass of wine is alive, so my expression at the time was like Miles, deeply attracted to Maya, I It was also at that time that Miles fell in love with Maya.
Unlike other beverages, wine can be made entirely from the production line. Wine, from grapes to wine, from sowing to picking, from fermentation to sublimation in oak barrels, each step requires labor, so a bottle of wine is so precious, so it is said that wine is alive.
The name of the movie is Sideways, which translates into Chinese as "Life with a Cup of Wine". Before watching this movie, I didn't understand the connection between "A Cup of Wine" and "Life". After watching the movie, I couldn't help but admire the translator's Skill, the translation of the movie's name into "Life with a Cup of Wine" is too much to applaud. People, like a glass of wine, take root and sprout from a seed in the sunshine, wind and rain, and grow continuously. Just as different types of grapes have different growth habits and tastes, people also have different lives. Pinot Noir likes cool climates, Syrah likes hot climates, and grapes and people that grow in extremely harsh environments are the best. , because they have been tested more. Then wine and people reach their peak, and then they grow old and complete the mission of life.
The film's clue is the week-long trip of Jack, who yearns for pre-wedding indulgence, and Miles, who has been depressed since their divorce, to a California vineyard where they meet the passionate Stephanie and the charismatic Maya. They visit wineries, vineyards, have picnics on the grass, taste wine, and play golf in the sun. The freedom of life is desirable. And Miles has been unable to lift his spirits, not only because the novel he wrote has not been published, but also because of his failed marriage, and his ex-wife has remarried. It was worth meeting Maya, who was also divorced. She was an attractive, intelligent woman who loved wine as much as he did, and really knew how to appreciate wine. It was only during the conversation with her that Miles opened up and fell in love with Maya.
It's a pity that their trip will come to an end one day. After breaking up with Stephanie and Maya, Jack finally had a successful wedding. At the wedding, Miles learned that his ex-wife was pregnant, and that the novel he wrote was ultimately impossible. Published, the will is more depressed. In the end, Maya's phone call aroused his enthusiasm for life. She understands wine, she understands his novels, she is his bosom friend and his soulmate. Finally, Miles knocks on Maya's door, and the movie ends abruptly.
The ending is self-evident and I think Miles must have brought that 1967 Cheval Blanc because Maya said:
"You know the day you open a '61 Cheval Blanc...that's the special occasion."
