I haven't seen a wonderful movie like this for a long time. Sideways, now becomes one of my favorite movies. using very plain movie language, this movie discussed marriage, love, friendship, wines, and everything touching my heart. Although they are good buddies, Myers and Jack have totally attitudes toward life and love. still loving his ex-wife, myers hasn't dated anyone since he divoced, and he put all his efforts in a novel based his experiences and thoughts on life, but this novel is never going to be published because it's hard to read. Myers is a reserve and intelligent man with good taste of wine, who is also really serious to love and marriage. whereas his old fiend jack is a playboy who is going to be married in a week and asks myers to teach him knowledge of wine. They drive to a small town in California, where a rare type of grapes were produced, and the wine make by these grapes is very tasty. Howerve, another purpose of Jack for this trip is to have wild sex before his wedding.
The most touching sence to me is that after myers know his ex-wife has been married again and pregnent, he backs to his home, takes his most precious wine (1961 chateau) to a fast food restaurant and drink it with some garbage food. from this scene I understand how empty he must feel, because he told maya he will only drink this with the right person at the right time. however, the ending of this movie gives some optimistic implication, which means myers finally are able to move on and try a new relationship.
I have so many thoughts on this movie, but I just cann't write all of them down. there are no famous movie star in the cast of this movie, but they are definitely excellent, any one of them. compared with other oscar nominated movies this year, it's simply the best in my mind.
