Two people, a frustrated writer and an outdated actor, want to run away, want to drink a glass of wine, meet a different destiny, and relieve their inner anguish. It's not that easy after all.
The director seems to be contradicting the main theme. poured cold water on the American Dream.
The American Dream is like a Hollywood blockbuster, full of BMW cars, beautiful women hugging, saving the world and so on.
In "Life with a Glass of Wine", it is the distant Pacific Ocean breeze, and it is a skyscraper.
What's with them? Miles sat blankly on the lawn, saying that he was a fingerprint on the window of a skyscraper and a roll of toilet paper in the toilet.
Ex-wife married someone else and got pregnant. The 1961 Cheval Blanc, the wine that Miles has collected for many years, was originally expected to drink with her on the tenth anniversary of the wedding, in the romantic candlelight, in the hazy night, but who knew it would be with a hamburger, a paper cup hastily Of.
The novel that was written so hard was told by the publisher that it could not be published and did not meet the market demand. So, I returned to school and continued my boring teaching career.
......
The blows of life, sometimes like the tide, wave after wave.
The director is not too cruel. Miles was not disappointed and lingered in helplessness.
Maya, appeared.
And two people have a common hobby - wine.
Because wine is alive, she said, and it's constantly changing and becoming more complex. Until it reaches its peak, and then begins its steady, aging process, like your 1961 Cheval Blanc.
When two people raise their glasses, I realize how similar they are, divorced, longing for love, seeking stability, and of course, well-versed in wine research, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, common wine varieties in the conversation , with a sense of distance. Maybe it's the experience accumulated over the years?
Lost and gained, waited and responded. Life is like wine. At different times, it has different colors and tastes, or dark red, or light red, or strong or light...
When wine is a song, life is geometry? In toasting, all the loss and hesitation in life, all the pain and struggle, have turned into the fragrance of the years. Diffuse in the wind.
