originally thought that the heavy- duty film "Life with a Cup of Wine " was at least 10 years later, so I listed it as one of the revisited films in 2015. Now it seems that it was true I'm very optimistic, but I don't know that the years "scarce and collapse" so quickly, it seems that it has entered a period of crisis ahead of schedule, so I can't help watching it again, but I don't want to watch this movie to give Shen Wei, who has already checked himself, a clever operation. The knife was slashed with blood, and the pain lingered.
I always feel the presentation skills of this film, the overall style is exquisite and distant, the details and dialogue can withstand repeated observation, in the soft and tranquil point out the helplessness and bullying of living, but have to continue, in the end, Those who fail and fail seem to be helpless and weak indulged in the torrent of the world, and they will choose to seize the life-saving straw given by God and continue - the sensitive middle-aged literary man in the film Miles (Paul Giama) who is frustrated with writing and marriage. Titty) finally caught the straw of love, and fell in love with Maya (Virginia Madsen), who was also skilled in wine tasting but had a relatively mature personality, while his friend and out-of-date TV actor Jack (Thomas Hay Played by Don Church) After tossing about pre-marital sex mania, he finally sticks to the established wedding and future marriage, and holds the straw for a stable life. Even though there have been struggles and unwillingness here, after facing up to his hopeless career and fading years, after complaining and being hypocritical enough, he finally returned to calm and ordinary, and sometimes, even inevitable mediocrity.
The title of the film is "Life with a Glass of Wine", but whether you know wine or not does not hinder the viewing effect of the film, because it only uses wine as a pretext, an aid, and a medium to use metaphors, narration, and exploration of life problems. Of course, I understand Wine is better. Obviously, the main creator of the film has a profound insight and a transparent understanding of life. While presenting the story so smooth and smooth, it also makes the helpless and desolate side of life unfold softly, creating an atmosphere like As time goes by like alcoholic wine, the more you taste, the more addicted you are, just like the life of human beings who can't stop...
So talented, yet so low-key and humble, it is really admirable. Although the story is derived from Ricks Peckert's novel, it has a lot of inner strength in the re-creation of light and shadow. Alexander Payne, the screenwriter and director of the film, has won numerous awards for this film, including the Best Adapted Screenplay Award for Uncle Ao. "San Francisco Chronicle" called Payne's film "America's Treasure", and this praise cannot be overstated. Unlike other directors who are good at portraying women's psychology, Payne is good at digging out the section to hide deeper and more hidden, making it more difficult to capture and describe. The masculine psychology, and presented it with appropriate light and shadow techniques, not only reveals the living conditions of Americans, but also expresses an indescribable desolate state of mind, just like another film directed by Payne, "About Shmi" Special", which delicately and meticulously recreates the lonely life and inner turmoil of a retired widower, whose timeless quality is unforgettable.
The details of "Life with a Glass of Wine" are very intriguing. For example, Miles visited his mother before going on a pre-wedding trip for his friend Jack. Although he held a small bouquet of flowers for his birthday, he didn't even choose it himself. It's just "supermarket goods" with a price code on the package, and the reason why he visited was because he was out of money and needed to steal the money that his mother hid in the underwear drawer - this act of stealing pocket money as a child showed that Miles' financial embarrassment also led to the introduction of this person's profile. He was in his forties and achieved nothing. As a middle school English teacher, he had literary aspirations. He spent his efforts on the creation of his own novels. , and the news of his unforgettable ex-wife's remarriage has hit him beyond imagination.
Another example is that Miles named his novel "The Day After Yesterday", and Maya said: "you mean 'today'". This seemingly understated dialogue just portrays and enriches the characters of the hero and heroine. Miles is sensitive and melancholy, easy to indulge in the past, self-imposed, and a little hypocritical. He is as difficult to manage as the Pinot grapes he likes, while Maya, who has also experienced emotional changes and unhappiness, has the composure and composure to face the reality. Courage, she is a woman who understands wine tasting, tastes life, and Miles. Therefore, in the end, her affirmation of Miles' manuscript and her phone message became Miles' straw, Miles' obscure A ray of light in a gloomy life. Of course, Miles also needed to sort out his mind before this. When he finally opened the 1961 White Horse he had in his collection, it was a sign that he had come out of his own little haze.
The performances of the four main actors in the film are very expressive. The most well-known is the plot of Miles and Maya respectively telling the reason why they fell in love with wine. The scene of this scene is simple, the dialogue is wonderful, the performance is free, but it becomes Decipher the important passages of this two's subtle but true love. Among them, Paul Giamatti recreated his body and demeanor to give the decadent appearance and slightly drunk walking of the frustrated man Miles. When he finally heard Maya's message, a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth that seemed both pleased and moved. The laughter highlights the sour and beautiful side of this straw. If "Mima Love" is flickering and graceful, then "Jesse Love" is unrestrained and direct, during which the thick-line Jack's pre-marital panic mentality that desperately wants to escape and is madly selfless is vividly interpreted, thus making the The interesting elements of dramas such as "Picking Wild Flowers" and "Finding a Wallet" are increasing.
In the film, the 1961 Cheval Blanc, which Miles has kept for many years, is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, which is the kind that the sensitive and fragile Miles disdains. When these two types of Myers's criticized varieties are mixed together, they can produce a unique new taste, which is favored and cherished. It can be seen that sometimes life is so strange and interesting, as if the simple "negative and positive" ", as long as you understand the flavor.
