club8 sang in the next step you'll take: you go slowly, you go sideways, and no-one really waits. This song left a deep impression on me: go sideways, don't take the big road, choose the sideways, lonely, Bitter, elegant. Going with the crowd can be hard to understand what it feels like to be alone in sideways. The movie Sideways is a good example of this kind of life.

As for the setting of the male protagonist, if you can set him to be more marginal, you will be marginal, and you will be underappreciated if you are not talented: middle-aged, his wife remarried twice with a successful man, he still can't forget her, he writes a lot of novels It was sent to the publishing house for the second time, and the best hope was also in vain. He still has some talent, he knows how to taste wine, and ordinary people can't taste the taste that he can't smell. He enjoys it with relish, shows loyalty to friends, and is dedicated to lovers , is such an ordinary and elegant, insightful and want to be recognized.

The arrangement and rhythm of the film are compact and concentrated, and every second is not superfluous. You must pay attention to all the details. These bits and pieces enrich the image of the protagonist and infiltrate the texture of his life. The soundtrack is also beneficial to create that kind of lonely The atmosphere, the story has many fronts and backs, it helps to highlight all aspects of the protagonist's life, especially the ending, which makes people think about it. I can't help but mention the actor's superb acting skills, and the wonderful performances are too numerous to mention. To mention a little, when the protagonist is excited, he can even see the two blue veins on his forehead. Knowing that his ex-wife was pregnant with a child, there was no hope of reconciliation, but he had to force his composure. It was not difficult to feel the mixed emotions on his face.

People who are persistent in life and still remain the same even in the face of constant loss, watching this film must have mixed feelings. Small as sand, he also yearns to be the stars that adorn the night. No matter what happened before, I didn't regret it, at most I laughed at myself a little, because the road is still only one's own choice, and only one's own choice.

    "You know literature, movies, and wine, but you don't understand my plight."

    It turned out that Xin Hua Lu Fang learned this, but unfortunately Ning Hao just played a little trick on the structure and did not learn the essence of Payne. It was a bit boring at first, but it got better and better as it went on. The conversation between Maya and Miles about wine and life was very touching. Jack regretted and cried bitterly for losing his ring, but what touched me most was that the protagonist tasted the 61-year-old wine alone, just like tasting his bitter and frustrated life.
