In the film "A Good Year", MAX, a financier living in London, learns one day that he has inherited his uncle's wine estate. However, once again set foot in the Shilok winery, the singing vines, the love encountered on the street, Mrs. DUFLOT's enthusiastic Rumba, and the sound of his uncle hitting the ball from the other side of the corridor... All these aroused his feelings about the dullness. yearning for a romantic life. On the one hand, there are high-rise buildings in the United Kingdom, which are proud of the spring breeze and compete for money and power; Which one is more important? For a while, MAX was unable to balance.
Even if you have never lived in such a land as a child, you who are tired of running in a big city must yearn for an ideal paradise: there is no smell of human flesh and money, no smog, high housing prices and waste oil, no subway. The crowds of Wuyangyang and the bright lights after the night, some are just the ground under the feet, the blue sky above, the cheerful river, the sun scatters mottled marks, and the smell of red wine lingers on the lips and teeth. Of course, there is also an ideal lover who will wake you up every bright morning with his soft whispers.
Use every drop of hard sweat to irrigate sweet fruits; on every starry night, embrace your lover and fall asleep.
From Tao Yuanming's dreamland, to Thoreau's Walden Pond, to Streland abandoning his wife and living in seclusion in sparsely populated Tahiti. In fact, "escape from Beishangguang" is not a word from the beginning of modern times. The ideal peach blossom garden is the desire of people all over the world since ancient times.
In a society with highly developed social media, it is difficult for us to separate from modern civilization. Although I thought about it countless times, I knew that the paradise in my dream would never go back.
MAX gave up the securities business, but his life would not be too bad, because the vineyard left by Uncle HUNRY is a treasure in itself, and the wine it produces is not cheap at all.
There are beautiful lavenders in the manor, and scorpions are rampant; the vines can sing and cut people's hands. If you want to return to a simple life, you must first see the ups and downs of the world with the naked eye. Although the wine is beautiful, the process of making wine, who can appreciate the taste.
In an ideal life, there is a "moon", and of course "sixpence". "I have been ridiculed for singing to the vines all my life. I said that one day the vines will also sing to me." DUFLOT's singing sounded from behind, and what I heard from it was a kind of tragic power .

    The night is as icy blue and wine red as champagne. Marion is beautiful inside.

    It has nothing to do with the original, but it is very romantic and beautiful. To live, not just to live. You don’t have to go to French vineyards, to Provence, to wander around. But at least you must retain a little bit of fun, happiness, feelings, know how to appreciate beauty, know how to love, know how to give up, know how to hold

A Good Year quotes

  • Christie Roberts: Did you know that dad mixed a martini for Winston Churchill? He also danced a waltz with Amelia Earhart in 1975.

    Max Skinner: Well, considering that Amelia Earhart died in the 1930's, that's a perfect example of the type of exaggerator Uncle Henry was. Want to know the real Uncle Henry? Not the one your overactive imagination is manufacturing? The *real* Henry Skinner was a man so afraid of committing to the real world, that he retreated from life to drink and shag his way to a lonely and loveless end.

  • Christie Roberts: [Speaking to Max] If this place meant as much to him as I believe it did, you're worse than I thought for even *thinking* about selling it... I'll leave tomorrow.
