The wine in the film is mentioned at length, which is the most secretive symbol. Wine is another aspect of Max, another possibility, this aspect and possibility are always asleep, blocked by a broken life and oppressed. When Max is alone, the wine can't save him, which means he can't save himself.
until the woman appeared. Wine is also the shadow of this woman, the guide who "takes three years to come out of a relationship full of lies." It just means the same to Max and the woman, that's why they came together, the wine brought them back to life, and those broken lives melted and could be forgiven. That is to say, the wine's heritage shows a positive side of life. They put down all the sadness and hurt in the past in the wine glass, and finally they can reconcile with themselves in the eyes of the other party. They used to resist this kind of reconciliation, thinking that only sinking was important, not anymore.
The life of a glass of wine has created a very complex and high viewing threshold. That kind of complex frustration requires experience to enter, which forms a rejection of a perfect life, so it is no wonder that many young guys can't understand it. Max's dark and stagnant outlook on life, depressed and gloomy, can only be relieved by forgiving yourself.
This is a very difficult process, because it is more painful than pain, more disappointing than giving up, and more remote than hope. The film still provides hope, which ultimately affirms life. This may not be the case in reality. What is more difficult than the movie is that those who are immersed in pain, or even enjoy pain, are not eligible for redemption and cannot be redeemed. Therefore, life is always more cruel than a fixed movie.
