For a movie, there is no need to say too much about the arrangement and orientation of the movie. After all, it is the director's thing, or the market thing. For movie-watchers, Which scenes move you, which lines are what you want to say, which soundtracks are appropriate, which feelings are what you're looking for, that's what matters. What is the specific story of "Sideways"? You can read it yourself if you want to see it. The director must tell it better than me. What I am interested in is just one of the conversations about my hobby of wine. There are a lot of conversations about wine in the movie, and most of them are about the evaluation of wine on the surface, how it tastes, how it smells, how it feels, but only this time it touches the depths of the heart, and it seems to be talking about how I love special varieties of grapes , isn't it talking about my outlook on life about love? The dialogue is as follows, because I can't find the English version, so let's watch the Chinese version.
Miles: “Pinot Noir is a very difficult grape variety to grow, thin-skinned, characterful and early ripening. Unlike Cabernet, which can be grown anywhere and grow well without even taking care of it. .Pinot Noir requires regular and careful care, in fact, it can only grow in very few special cool climate corners of the earth, and only a patient and knowledgeable grower can grow Pinot Noir grapes with the most slender and elegant grapes The characteristics of Pinot Noir grapes will only show their full face when someone really takes the effort to understand the potential of the grape; and then it will have the oldest, immaculate, moving and haunting flavors in the world ."
Maya: "I like to think about the life of wine, thinking of it as a living thing, what happened in the year the grapes were grown, how the sun shines after a rain, and all the people who gather grapes, if that is Old bottle of wine, how many of them are now dead... If I opened a bottle of wine today, it would not taste the same as if I opened it another day, because a bottle of wine actually has life, it will last Evolves, complicates, until it reaches its most perfect state...then it remains stable, and finally unavoidable aging."
In this film full of "wine and sex", it can be argued that this It is a kind of purity. Compared with the image and behavior of Jack's wandering child, what Miles wants is something unique and unforgettable that needs to be cultivated with one heart and one mind over a long period of time. Gorgeous stuff. And Maya also wants to get to know every detail bit by bit, because from it, you can taste his difference and get his whole life. All of this makes more sense in the context of Jack's romantic history. I think that's the director's purpose and brilliance. Not everyone understands this, especially girls. Hey...
Another thing worth mentioning is the friendship in the film. Your friends will cheer you up when you're down, support you unceremoniously, and run home bare-ass when you're caught in bed. He will laugh at you without hesitation, and will still think without hesitation when you need help. Oh My Best Friends!
