Today I read "The Diary of a Drunkard". We often hear the term "mid-life crisis". I guess, when people reach middle age, they face various problems, whether it is marriage, divorce, childbirth, and entering life. The other stage is like when you are young, you have to face a few years of adolescence and you are ready to become an 18-year-old adult. Some people will rebel because of this. For example, Jack in the play has to play hard before marriage. Depressed, like Miles, after two years of divorce, still living down and down, and has lost interest in life since then. The

two protagonists represent two completely different attitudes towards life, from their attitudes to the art of drinking, to the relationship between men and women Attitude, it can be seen that some people play life, they have no requirements for drinking, just drink one sip, drink a cup, don't think about anything, pick up girls around, ignore the consequences. Some people are too persistent, wine is not pinot, not made from beautiful grapes He doesn't drink even when he dies, he is attached to his ex-wife, and when he knows that his ex-wife remarries, he is drunk. When a near-perfect woman falls in love with him, he doesn't know how to grasp it.

In fact, in life, many times, it is necessary to strike a balance between these two aspects. Finally, the rebellious, after hitting the board, the bird is tired; the persistent, and finally know how to let go easily and enjoy life again.

Although the subject matter of the movie is serious, but it does not lose the light-hearted plot, tell you, in fact, middle-aged people are not Don't be puzzled, as long as you find the joy of life. I

like movies to use wine and women to highlight the different personalities and two attitudes of the two male protagonists. The process of winemaking and handling a love relationship are all like life, step by step. The process of cultivation is extremely important, whether it can make good wine, whether a relationship can blossom and bear fruit, every step is equally important, and the same is true for everyone's life, if someone does not treat anything in life There are requirements, then this life is very limited. People need to find themselves and their meaning in life in something. What about you, what do you find?
