      The "metaphysics" added to me

      The expression of the film is obscure and incomprehensible. It seems that, inspired by my grandfather, the male protagonist has embarked on a path to explore the original self. I am who I am, and no one or anything can affect my current thoughts and decisions, including my relatives, friends and even my own body. Pain, winning or losing is up to his will, it can be considered detached to live in the moment. His spiritual world is everything, and the rest is nonsense, meaningless to him. Life...

      i'm not a gambler

      After reading a lot of comments, it seems that they are all talking about how the male protagonist is caught in the quagmire of gambling, how he tries to get rid of the predicament caused by gambling, and how he helps the male protagonist to settle the gambling account. I want to say, this is not the idea that this film wants to express, not even close, because the male protagonist is not a gambler at all.
          The male protagonist is not interested in gambling at all. From the very...

      See through

      The key point of the movie in a class is the diligent and conscientious first to ask a question, hoping to be praised by a genius girl who is a student who has a sense of security while hiding in the crowd. Every time I send a message without incident, I actually have my own basketball specialties. But a "literature teacher" who didn't know what to teach was teaching. (Personal understanding) The metaphor of perfection to society.

      In the end, you still have to gamble and win, and the moment of transformation is to stop!

      In the end, you still have to gamble and win, and the moment of transformation is to stop! The last big bet at the end of the film is no different from the 240,000 bet at the beginning of the film. All you need is to become famous and to be famous. Therefore, to say that the protagonist is playing a big chess game is an overestimate of him, even if the last bet is lost. , the latter is nothing but borrowing and gambling. The key is to have a moment of transformation! Betting on basketball...

      Is it a gambling movie? No! A pessimistic existentialist and a fucking life. The male protagonist is indeed not a gambler. No gambler can keep losing all the time, and finally hit a home run. There is a problem with casting, and Mark Wahlberg does not have the temperament of a college professor, which is very inconsistent. The screenwriter's lines are good, and you can see the philosophical...
