REPRINT -- MooPig Movie Reviews :: "Bottle Shock, [2008]"



Modesty -- less traveled path
by Pat Darnell

Bottle Shock -- Like a promise to Sons by their Fathers, a bride for prides, Bill Pullman takes us on a ride through toil and dust, letting a convergent spirit evolve between he and his son.

What is the first curse upon sinful men placed on mankind by the Lord God Creator of Heaven and Earth ... eh? And you "man, will struggle to live making your way by scratching in the dust of Earth..." or similar?


Cultivation of wine never ceases to be a really great metaphor for life throughout centuries of human habitation.


Based on true stories that literally blow your mind: real issues in Bo Barrett's and his family life revolve around DIRT -- The soils in what is now the famous Napa Valley generally are very deep and have high potential productivity. They are used for vineyards, orchards, and pastures. Yes, the DIRT -- same thing we go to the Moon for...


Meanwhile, it turns out soils just south of the valley have lower production potential because they are limited by a strongly developed subsoil. They are used mainly for dryland pasture and for oats and hay.

"Take our word for it, this story is as big and as earth shake-rattle-n-rolling as landing on the Moon," said Valarie Duty, Wine Tasting Expert, and Suitcase Model, for Aficionado Magazine. "What makes the dirt part of the story is its origins. It's Volcanic ash sedimentary soils,the soils formed in deep deposits of alluvium derived mainly from basic igneous and rhyolitic bedrock," explains Miss Duty. ....

... And guess what? Money is scarce. The banks are calling in their loans on Billy Pullman's enterprises, and he starts to show signs of dementia, by shadow boxing himself into a corner. He is held there by pride stemming from his illicit desire to show her up -- his estranged ex-wife who by the way has the money.

Ex-wife is eat up rich, but somehow pulls Pullman out through collaborations with their son. Even the bartender helps the cause.

Now, Bo, the son, is a trip. All the other characters have trembly lips, yes, as the story unfolds. Truth in DIRT starts to make sense to us movie-goers. Hippie throwback Bo goes to Paris and stumble-bums into fame like a punch drunk UFC fighter.


"Wine the color of shit; interesting," says an American in Paris to his ambivalent British wine snob, Snape Severus, who is on a break from wand-tending to make this ground-breaking, epic PG-13 movie, with cast of thousands of grapes.

Modesty is the virtue of slaves. Cultivation of the grape is life. The father becomes a despot and takes on the task of "I'm gonna' make it happen." His loving son helps in mysterious ways, though Bo Barrett carries no magic wand.

"Billy Pullman is well known for his other roles, such as Chrissie Ricci's dad in Casper a decade back. As a landmark in most of our foreboding cinemas, Pullman seems to get all the breaks in being cast," said our Resident Movie Critic and Geologist, Tammy Walker Paisley.

No bacchanal ?? Just kidding, there are a couple of mid-night rambles, and besides it is the post-WoodStock Era, pre-Stadium Rock Epoch.

And there is an Intern that shows up in a VW. She has to be initiated into wine culture dogma, obsession, and idyllic polygamous relationships.

REFERENCE:

*The first recorded miracle performed in public by Jesus of Nazareth was when his mother sent him to change the water in large containers to wine. This was in the waning hours of the festival, after all the wine had been consumed by wedding party guests gathered after marriage.

One guest approached the Groom saying, "Most hosts would serve the least flavored wine at the end of the party. You, on the other hand have saved the best wine for last."

**Articles from Plutarch on reason for marriages uses bitter-sweet as metaphor:
Viniculture, viticulture [Nomos] means "custom," "convention," and "melody." This ambiguity explains the transition or sequence of thought between first two protaganists; father and son.
Examples -- 1. [Solon] ordered that the bride should eat some quince before retiring to bed with the bridegroom. He meant to suggest ... that the first favor of lip and voice should be harmonious and sweet.

2. In Boeotia, when they veil the bride, they give her a garland of asparagus. This is a plant that gives the sweetest fruit from the sharpest thorn, just as the bride will give a life of calm and sweetness to the man who does not shrink from, or feel distaste for, the first harsh and disagreeable impressions. (Sorry, I forget where I got the Plutarch words, pdaf)
