It's a lighthearted movie, and the beauty of the picture is immersive. The contrast between the two lifestyles is created in the film, and the brutal competition in the big cities in the United States is intriguing. You need to be fully engaged and indulge in it, and no vacation is the privilege of successful people, because vacation means unemployment. On the other side, in the vineyards of Provence, the monotonous and slow pace of life can make people calm down and appreciate the beauty of things. Feeling the life of grapes, feeling the process of wine life, this is the so-called lost world. The small town scenery of Provence and the beautiful and exquisite manor make my uncle an interesting person. He loves wine and loves his painstakingly managed manor. I think he must have struggled for a long time and got tired of it for a long time before he could afford to buy a manor and run it.
There is a storyteller in the warm town, who is graceful and graceful. People in the whole Provence town know her because of her beauty. An accident and a rain made people in the two worlds quiet in the manor. Although the female shopkeeper is in Provence, she can see her impatience, because she is actually as busy making a living as people in big cities in the United States.
The warm ending makes people wonder how we should spend our lives? How much time in our life is our own? Ever wondered how we should love life? When we stop, do we remember what we have done that is worth thinking about? Just like the bottle of wine in the film, it is famous and expensive in the world, but it is placed there casually, because it is only the result of his love, it is just wine, it is normal.
Survival and life should be distinguished. I don’t understand at all that someone’s work will occupy the vast majority of life. Inefficient work, meaningless entanglement and communication waste most of the energy and uselessly consume life. most of the time is where most people go.
Life requires a passionate heart and a large enough wealth base. The male and female protagonists in the film are all middle-class, with some generous salaries, maybe they are just waiting for an opportunity to let their lives break away from the high-load social machine full of gears. A couple from Shanghai bought an RV and remodeled it themselves, and then resigned to become nomads, living a simple and comfortable life. What gave them the courage to get out of this high-load machine? The material basis of struggle. So I think the premise for us to love life is to admit that we love money, but the education of Chinese people since childhood is not to talk about money, but to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality? Perhaps the biggest irony of these words is that people who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality end up pouring more than anyone else.
Maybe we all need to change, and change requires courage and opportunity, but the most fundamental one is to think about change. The path to change is not one. There are many people who have already made their way through the road and are talked about after dinner. Talking about others is the one thing I have the least courage to do.
Live, live, live, live.
