"A Piece of Angel" is the first movie I watched after I came to Edinburgh. What's interesting is that this is a movie full of a strong Scottish style-from the streets of Glasgow, Edinburgh, kilts, to the Scottish accent that runs through the whole movie, it makes people feel novel and interesting.
Speaking of the movie itself, from the perspective of translation, the Chinese name "A copy of an angel" looks strange, because the "share" here is a clever pun in English. First of all, when Robbie and his party visited the distillery, the staff told them that the wine in the whiskey barrel would volatilize 2% each year, and this volatilized amount was called "Angel's Share"-"to the angels" A copy of".
And at the end of the movie, after an adventurous kilt quartet returned to his hometown, Robbie kindly and warmly gave the last bottle of precious vintage wine to Harry, the "angel" who saved his life. At that time, here, "share" also means to share.
The plot as a whole is not complicated, but when Robbie decides to bet on his future destiny with his friends with the "civet cat for prince" method, the plot is more lively and full of unexpected twists and turns. The movie didn’t waste any shots. From the very beginning it showed that Robbie walked on thin ice and didn’t dare to commit a crime again, to when he started tasting wine with his keen sense of smell. The words and deeds of the people around him reflected the different levels of consciousness and contrast. Then to thanks to his wife and aunt’s favor, deciding to start a new life and helping other people as much as possible... All the details are unscrupulously portrayed a plump image: After becoming a father, the little gangster decided to rehabilitate, and with the help of the nobles. His wit and brave action changed his own destiny.
All in all, it is a warm movie. When you are attracted by the title, I believe that when you see the movie, you will also have one or two "A-ha moments" that belong to you.
