full of sadness that are made into wine
to praise our beautiful life
..."
is another down-and-out writer. It may be a morbidity to always have a preference for down-and-out writers, but it's not like sympathy. At least I'm still full of hope for writing, love, and the future, because I'm still a young literary man in his prime. Literature is irrelevant, youth is the point! But Miles, a middle-aged man, looks basically finished, so he often looks at his erratic shadow in the wine glass with sorrow and despair.
But no matter how sad and desperate a person is, as long as he is not dead, he will not give up completely. Miles was playing the crossword puzzle, and his mind was probably similar to how I often recite famous sayings and good sentences, so as not to become unfamiliar with each other for a long time, and to feel less affectionate with each other. At the end of the day, he still dreams of the day when his students can recite their teacher's works with the same soulfulness that they would recite masters in a classroom. However, Wen Qing became the text in a blink of an eye. Poor Miles' life was tied to the last straw. He didn't know that the last straw had also been taken to light a cigarette. Actually he knew.
The career is finally over, so what about love? A fly whose way was blocked by a huge glass window, since it could not fly to the vast sky, could lie down on the floor and live a peaceful life, but his beautiful and virtuous ex-wife no longer gave him a chance, even his former wife. Everyone around him thought he was too pitiful. So poor Miles got into the habit of calling his ex-wife every time he got drunk, reciting the confessions to her without hesitation, regardless of her feelings. His confessions, like his novels, were apparently quite unsuccessful.
Maybe a complete failure can make Miles calm, in which he may write earth-shattering works, but his gradually calm life is suddenly disturbed by a third-rate celebrity. Jack, whose wedding is a week away, encourages Miles to join him on an expedition to the Garden of Eden. Faced with the temptation to drink the wine and sip the forbidden fruit, Miles was revived and decided to fight to the death with no regrets. Showing off his research on fine wine, and using casual lies to win the favor of the beauties, when his friend was most embarrassed, Miles stepped forward and did a wretched and mighty thing...
The movie is almost about to rewrite the ending, but the real ending is that Miles sits bored in the classroom listening to the students recite the text; meets his ex-wife and her talented new partner at the wedding of bad boy Jack, and has to be ashamed and quiet. Get away; open the long-cherished Chateau Cheval Blanc (forgive my ignorance, so far I don't know anything about this wine, including various other wines, but I still prefer wine, not drinking, but It refers to something symbolized by wine) drinking alone without a blind date; after receiving Maya's phone message, he rushed to express his heartfelt passion, but the director only left him a half-closed door, but he did not see Maya's beauty and maturity face. I really appreciate this ending, it instantly elevates an American film to the height of a European film. In some details, Americans are more European than Europeans.
There is almost nothing exciting in the whole film, of course, there are some foul language and erotic content in it, which may make some people a little excited. The reason why I want to write this text is because the overall rhythm and atmosphere of the film deeply touched me, or I was in a certain mood at a certain stage. Xu Fei sang a light song, and this movie can also be called a light movie. All the sadness, dissatisfaction, complaining, pain, etc. in the ordinary life are expressed in a light and cold humor. There is no separation of life and death. , It is not thrilling, but it makes people linger, like facing a glass of fine wine, and can't bear to drink it.
In fact, I wanted to write something about this film for a long time, but the emotions were either too high or too low, so I couldn't coordinate. I took the time to browse it again in the past two days, but unexpectedly felt a touch of fear, and found that poor Miles seemed to be walking towards me step by step. This kind of speculation is probably related to the fact that people have been asking me about Gui Geng recently. Facing this cruel reality, I am no longer angry, some are just a touch of sadness...
