This wonderful reversal and sorrowful comedy begins with a plot in which the defendant is accused of disrupting social order and the judge will try it. For those who violated the railway platform management regulations after being drunk-Albert -,-Reno-who destroyed public building statues after being drunk and intoxicated,-Mo-who stole pet shop macaws after being found by the police and spoke outrageously, by his archenemy Clancy, etc. For Robbie, who is provoked and violently attacked beyond the scope of legitimate defense, the verdict of "community service" seems to be the society's great tolerance and opportunity for these crime-ridden habitual offenders.
However, the fact is not so warm. Such as Robbie is regarded as a factor of social instability, the stains on the resumes of marginalized people prevent them from getting any job opportunities, the scars left by the fight on their faces make others avoid them, there is no financial source and no fixed residence... They seem to be I also gave up my life in disregard and contempt, but life will always come with some gifts from heaven to rekindle hopes and dreams. For example, Robbie and his girlfriend Leoni’s son was born, which made Robbie feel the weight of responsibility. He wanted to change himself and change his life, but his old enemy, his father-in-law, and the society he lived in did not want to give him this Chance.
Of course, this world really has an angelic presence, and Harry, an old social worker, sincerely gives care and love to these reformed subjects. He provided temporary accommodation for the homeless Robbie and encouraged Robbie to shoulder the responsibilities of her husband and father. On weekends, he led Robbie and other people who were punished to visit the wine cellar... During the wine cellar tour, Robbie found that he had a lesson. Interest and talent in wine knowledge. "You cannot judge the value of a book from its price." Robbie's extraordinary sense of smell even caught the attention of collectors. A work of wine appraisal seems to be like Robbie beckoning... If the plot continues to develop, it will become a movie. Well-regarded, warm-hearted films about the call of truth and the return of the prodigal son.
However, the film arranges the plot in which Robbie finds that his girlfriend and newborn baby are being watched by his rivals. As Robbie's dream of a stable and peaceful life was shattered, the plot began to reverse. Robbie, Albert, Reno, and Mo seized the opportunity, relying on tricks, stealing skills, and the vanity of celebrities and wealthy people, successfully sneaked into the wine cellar at the wine recommendation party, using the theory of an angel and using other wine barrels. The Tibetan wine in the place was replaced with high-priced wine and sold to greedy collectors. The "social scum" relies on the ability to counterattack, and the strength to beat the "upper celebrities", the funny plot actually conveys a sad and even desperate tone. It is not for the local tyrants who were deceived to buy miscellaneous wine at high prices; but for "obeying and accepting the rules of this society will not allow the people who are suppressed at the bottom to live a stable life."
At the end of the film, the high-priced malt winery that appeared on the table of the old social worker Harry is a gratitude to this angelic and kind person, and it is also a compliment to the warmth in the indifferent world.
However, I think the meaning of "angel's portion" does not stop there, just like the film is more than so warm: "About 2% of the wine is lost due to evaporation each year, and this portion is called the angel's portion. And every year Get rid of ordinary discrimination, like evaporating from a closed wine barrel, are there as many marginal people who have crawled out of the bottom of society? Are they lucky enough to have the angels who escaped the wine barrel? "
