电影说201901 | 杯酒人生（sideways）
Miles对前妻的念念不忘，得知她再婚怀孕时的怅然若失，让我想起了伊迪丝·华顿的短篇小说《the other two》。虽然那重在描写一个男人与妻子及其两任前夫相处时的复杂心境。或许是因为两个男人虽看似立场对立，却都被“过去”拉扯不得安生吧。
我喜欢Miles 几次偷瞄Maya的眼神，可以感受到他内心的变化。一开始是略带不安的试探，到心灵相通的欣赏，再到可以想象未来的喜欢。他终于在心里腾出了一点点空间。
Miles回答他为什么爱黑皮诺，他再反问Maya为什么爱葡萄酒。这段对白是整部电影中我最喜欢的片段。我觉得Miles 在描述黑皮诺如何敏感脆弱需要悉心照料时，我觉得他投射了自己，内心渴望被某个人温柔以待，被欣赏被认可。
Why are you so into Pinot Noir. I mean, it’s like a thing with you.
Miles: I don't know, Um, it's a hard grape to grow, as you know, right? It's thin-skinned, temperamental, ripens early, you know. It's not a survivor like Cabernet, which can just grow anywhere and thrive even when it's neglected. No, Pinot Noir needs constant care and attention. In fact, it can grow only in these really specific tucked-away corners of the world. And only the most patient and nurturing of growers can do it, really. Only somebody who really takes the time to understand Pinot Noir's potential can then coax it into its full expression.
maya：I like to think about the life of wine. How it’s a living thing. I like to think about what was going on the year of grapes were growing. How the sun was shining, if it rained. I like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes. And if it is an old wine, how many of them must be dead by now. I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today, it would taste different than if I opened it on any other day. Because a bottle of wine is actually alive, and it is constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is until it peaks, like you ’61, and then it begins its steady, inevitable decline…
最后...我对Mile基友恐婚，婚前一礼拜屡次约炮，大言不惭地说自己遇上了真爱，随即描绘了一个完全不同的未来，只为说服自己结婚是个错误的选择。东窗事发后，转身若无其事地约另一个人上床。电影快结束的时候，他说了一句：如果失去克莉丝汀，他将一无所有。如果这是他荒唐举动背后想要确认的事实，如果这是他最终决定结婚的理由……
