      You and I are nameless people

      Most of us are more or less attached to the shadow of Norman in the film, or work hard in the bustling crowd but always do nothing, or in the middle of the night, we have no confidant to talk to. Norman cannot be regarded as a successful broker. Work hard, hit a wall, continue to work hard, continue to hit a wall, try again, hit a wall again, this seems to be Norman's daily work. He can't be slick, big people are dismissive of him, and the Jewish compatriots in the community also regard him...

      The relationship between use and being used

      In real life, we may all have been "Normans" more or less, and always like to get rid of big people we know or don't know when we chat with strangers, and show our unusual connections. Maybe I want to show myself, maybe I really want to help others through my connections, or maybe I want to brew another ulterior secret. But how many of these connections are sincere? How much is for me? How much are they using each other? Who can make it clear? "Norman" in the film is a broker who is good at...

      The confidant dies

      The scholar died for the confidant. Throughout his life, he carefully constructed his own information network, exquisitely, and succeeded in doing Bole once. It seems that it should be the starting point for a brilliant career and happiness in life. However, life is full of ups and downs. After eating the bitter and poisonous peanuts, I seemed to foresee the happiness of each individual, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with me. I will not betray you. This is a loud and vocal response...

      An unqualified broker

      Norman is an unqualified broker, with a little interpersonal relationship, but basically it can be regarded as unreliable, so at the beginning he could only talk about the mediation in a very desperate way, and lie that I was familiar with so and so and everywhere. Jilai made a familiar conversation but was turned away rudely. (The first chapter is basically all kinds of messy interpersonal relationships. I look a little dizzy and unsightly, and it will be better to survive.) Until he reached...

      If you don’t have enough understanding of life and life...please wait a few years and watch.

      This is the best movie I have ever seen. Each shot of the 5 minutes at the end of the film will bring you a different feeling,
      genius, always the craziest and most persistent person.
      Norman’s business card says Norman’s Counselor, countless times when he picked up the business card’s load-bearing capacity and others took it with contempt, it was doomed when Norman knelt on his knees and let Eichel put on the leather shoes he stopped. His fate.
      This movie surpassed my imagination,...

      dark humor. Small characters who wander among various big names are sometimes helpless. But such a small and strong character cannot commit suicide. So I firmly believe that his last scene was a celebration of...

      I feel that dividing the story into several chapters makes the story seem incoherent and incomplete. However, this film reminds me of the cruelty of reality. People are using each other, one thing in front of one person and another behind...

      Norman, our hero, has a good memory when he is old, has no skills in making friends, and has a low emotional intelligence. But he is enthusiastic and willing to share the troubles for others. He is dedicated to giving and never expects anything in return. But at the same time, he never told the truth and piled himself up in a mirage. , maybe until death, all this farce can...

    Movie plot

    Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer seems to live on the street, but wears a decent suit and camel coat. Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer loves the limelight, which is why other people avoid him. He always wandered the street, constantly searching for something or someone with his mobile phone, and whenever possible he took out his business card, which read "Oppenheimer's...

    Evaluation action

    Director Joseph Cedar impressively created an intricate network of political, financial, social, and religious relationships that are related to how the world works. Whether this is true or not, the film conveys the feeling like an insider's point of view. Although the center of the story is a person who wants to be an outsider, little is known about him. Richard Tiffany Gere dominates all this with an impressive self-humbling...
