"Scent of Love and Wine" is a warm, sentimental and funny film. It tells the story of how the three brothers and sisters broke through many obstacles and inherited the family winery after the death of their parents. Although there is nothing particularly surprising about the plot, and just as the opening guesses, the winery was finally preserved, but the brother-sister relationship, father-son relationship, love and other emotions are intertwined, and it becomes a cup of touching, funny, sweet and sour wine. .
The eldest son, Jean, rushed home from Australia after hearing the news that his father was critically ill. Seeing his younger brother and sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he was both happy but also grumpy. The younger brother blamed him for not coming back for the funeral when his mother died. At his father's funeral, Jean told his younger brother Jeremy that his mother died when his son was born, and he left a phone message, but he didn't get a reply. When they got home from the funeral, the three of them opened a bottle of wine made by their father. Like when they were children, they sat chatting and tasting wine, savoring the sourness. Next, faced with the unaffordable inheritance tax and the division of the inheritance of the three brothers and sisters, there was nothing to do for a while.
The thoughtful Juliet, who was driving a tractor in the vineyard, remembered how her father patiently taught her to drive a tractor when she was a child, and burst into tears in the cab. In the harvest season again, there are too many things that need to be discussed and solved together by the brothers and sisters. The elder brother makes the sadness of not being able to return to Australia to complete the affairs of his vineyard because he is thousands of miles away from his lover and son. Big and small matters worry about his brother's situation. Although his younger brother Jeremy seems heartless, he is often depressed under the authority of his father-in-law. Whenever facing difficulties or enemies, everyone can stand up and do things to care for and protect their families.
Through the film, I learned that there are so many elaborate and processes in wine making, and I really want to go to Burgundy to experience it in person. The planting and care of grapes, the timing of picking, the judgment of the weather, the proportion of grapes to be de-stemmed, and even the degree of fermentation of the grapes in wooden barrels, etc., all seem to be very different. Rigorous rigor requires an innate, well-informed intuition. With the training of her father since she was a child, Juliet is a girl, but she has her own judgment. At first, she was a little hesitant. Later, she was able to strengthen her intuition and judgment.
There are many interesting little plots in the film: the older brother and younger brother stand far away, arranging lines for two people in the distance, and once for the younger sister and the man who came to the winery to work, with the matching lines, the younger sister and the young man kiss passionately Get up; the other time was for my sister and Jeremy's father-in-law, because he was displeased with his brother's father-in-law's arrogance, and his lines were full of disdain, and then he even bluntly contradicted. In the tone of others, the two humorously matched their lines, which made the two brothers look particularly interesting. Humor is also an attractive and charming quality.
The camera often switches to childhood in the current scene, such as a swaying swing, and when it is swayed, it returns to childhood. The scenes of three people slapsticking or playing are pure and beautiful. Even if the current situation is embarrassing, it is a comfort to think of the good times in the past. When my brother asked him to read a letter that was hidden in his father's pocket and hadn't been sent, he burst into tears. Sometimes just don't know how to express, don't know how to retain, but it doesn't mean not enough love. When he patted his son to sleep, got up and left, he seemed to see his father coaxing him to sleep when he was a child. The moment the two men faced each other and looked directly at him was the reconciliation between the two fathers who loved their son. Unravel the long-lasting knot.
At the end of the film, Reassuring decided to return to Australia, Juliet took charge of the winery alone, and Jeremy also escaped the control of his parents-in-law. In the end, the family estate that has been passed down for several generations was preserved, the grapes continued to grow, and the red wine continued to be fragrant.
