Too American...

Hilton 2021-12-14 08:01:10

PROVENCE's scenery does exist, but the tune is too American, fast-paced and superficial.
I don’t know if Old Peter participated in the creation of this movie, probably not.
You can hardly find the innocent and romantic country feeling created by the novel.
Moreover, there is a plot that does not seem to be explained clearly: the secret of the wine that the beard deliberately hides, and then there is no more? There are clues throughout the novel. Maybe the film is not well translated, and some of the subtitles don't have the same lips.

    Look at the scenery, look at the beauties, the plot is actually very old-fashioned. . .

    The exquisite photography and soundtrack, the overall romantic and fresh sentiment, there are many acting styles of men, women and children. With these, no matter how weak the plot is, this is the last movie Scott has attracted me in recent years.

A Good Year quotes

  • Christie Roberts: Did you know that dad mixed a martini for Winston Churchill? He also danced a waltz with Amelia Earhart in 1975.

    Max Skinner: Well, considering that Amelia Earhart died in the 1930's, that's a perfect example of the type of exaggerator Uncle Henry was. Want to know the real Uncle Henry? Not the one your overactive imagination is manufacturing? The *real* Henry Skinner was a man so afraid of committing to the real world, that he retreated from life to drink and shag his way to a lonely and loveless end.

  • Christie Roberts: [Speaking to Max] If this place meant as much to him as I believe it did, you're worse than I thought for even *thinking* about selling it... I'll leave tomorrow.
