Yesterday, I was watching "sideways" by myself with my computer. It was already more than two o'clock in the middle of the night. All the precious red wines that are rare are drank.

Especially at the end of the film, Miles, a bad guy, like a mouse, shrewdly huddled in a chair in a fast food restaurant, sneaked under the table and poured the bottle of 61-year-old Chelval Blanc into a disposable paper cup, greedily spoiling it. . Before that, he used to hold back his lust and waited persistently for his tenth wedding anniversary, to be able to share this bottle of fine wine with a special person at a special moment, but in the end his wife ran away and the wine was still there.

That kind of exhilaration is like someone who went straight to the original Mona Lisa and scribbled directly on her face with spray paint. Just like Du Shiniang throwing jewels into the river one by one. People have become too rotten and can't get any more rotten, and their days have become too rotten, so they go out, pick up a good jar and smash it, pour the sound on the ground, and say a happy goodbye to myself.

Just like the milse in the film, before I resigned, when the boss knew that the long talks couldn't keep me, he started to tell me how to manage the "derailment" of life. His point of view is that everyone has something that is not in line with the trajectory of life. If you are unwilling to change direction, you can at least use tools. The boss's tools refer to lower-level employees. For example, if you are short-sighted, you can wear different styles of eyes. Your eyeballs are still yours, but your vision is different. . I just smiled wryly, no, I'd rather be like a deviated bowling ball, know that I'm going to rush off the track, don't screw it hard and knock others down, and Ma Lier rushes off the track by herself.

The English name of the film is "Sideways", which means slipping. Miles wants to hold his head high in the mainstream society, so he follows the rules and is careful. Unexpectedly, the work was not published, his wife married, and his buddy still won a lucrative marriage by lying after playing. He is the only one left, alone, with no job, no income, no wife, no love, and now he has no friends, only Get the bottle of Cheval Blanc. Life is as the heroine Maya said: "Whenever you open a bottle, that is a special moment."

The narrow door of life is wide because there are few people. Miles can choose when and how to drink it, and the joy of ruining the good stuff is because no one notices you. Pity those who stand in the spotlight, under the watchful eyes of all, have to keep their chests up forever.

The bowling ball slides down the track, enjoying the joy of speed without the pressure of direction. Those who slip to the fringes of society and walk the path alone may inadvertently discover the breadth of their lives.

Maya said that every bottle of wine is alive, how the grapes grow, what happens when the sun comes out, what happens when it rains, how does it get to her, and when will she open it, the taste of the bottle will be different, Maybe the person who made the wine is no longer alive, but one thing is the same, that is, after opening, all wines will experience that irreparable decline.

Life, all people are the same, naturally fall, staring at the chosen landing point, must miss the surrounding clouds and blue sky, raindrops and snowflakes. Every minute and every second of it will not be repeated, as if the smile of one minute is younger than the next minute, all feelings are unique.

For this reason, life can still be called "beautiful", and even the sorrow at this moment may be lighter or deeper than the next moment. The pain, too, might be more severe tomorrow, so why not be satisfied with less pain today?
