The film introduced today A Good Year (2006)

The story takes place in the enchanting scenery of Provence, France

London securities broker Max (Russell Crowe) came here as the heir to the estate

The deceased uncle left behind a large vineyard and a large house

He started to get the idea of ​​a vineyard

Because once he sells he can get a decent income

He's not hard-hearted

Although Max hasn't visited his grandfather in years

Not even a single greeting

But the moment he stepped into the manor

Those memories reappear bit by bit as if the seal was suddenly lifted

Even the hard-hearted will be moved by it

The Ducolos, who have been caring for their grandfather for years

Of course they also welcome Max.

But Max obviously can't accept such "family warmth"

After all, years of ups and downs in the financial world have already numbed the mind

not to mention

As soon as I came, I expressed my attitude that I wanted to sell the vineyard.

This is a blow to Ducolo who has dedicated his life to the vineyard

More importantly

Max's approach failed his grandfather's wishes

Grandfather spent most of his life and most of his love in this place

He knew Max wouldn't inherit here

But selling this place is like denying my grandfather's life and past.

he really shouldn't

suddenly want to fall in love

During his stay here, he had a good relationship with Fanny (Marion Cotillard), a local coffee shop woman.

It turns out that Fanny was Max's playmate when she came to her uncle's house when she was a child.

Getting along with Fanny shakes Max

Wouldn't it be nice to just stay here?

He regained his forgotten past no longer full of numbers and money games

But Charlie reminded him that the Max he knew was someone who wouldn't take a break and wouldn't have a vacation concept.

You're just getting carried away by love

You know love is sometimes too beautiful

easy to get lost

So Max went back to London

The place where you have to struggle and play the numbers game

He began to face choices

Whether to live in beautiful Provence or in the vanity fair of the London financial world

The result is of course

Beauty and love won Max's heart

In fact, there is also the enthusiasm and belief of the grandfather in that land

And every time I think of my grandfather, the picture that pops up in front of my ears comes to mind.

Max let the mind breathe in this beautiful land

The life of fame and fortune in the past is gradually receding

Do you also have such a "peach blossom" idea when you are addicted to your work?

Charlie doubts he can really live in peaceful Provence

Do you really doubt it?

I feel jealous

He can't escape from life

And Max tried to do it

He will last a long time

Because his people and the land he loves are all around him

What reason does he have to go back to the past?

Exciting but at the same time boring life

while there is still a chance

feel more

Maybe this year is your good year


Goddess Marion Cotillard is still beautiful

The goddess in the works of the past few years is mainly responsible for beauty, you don't need to criticize and comment on anything

But if a good actress plays more literary films, her acting skills will naturally improve.

If you like goddess, you can look at her works after 2006

Russell Crowe is now an uncle
