      These liars are psychologists

      1. Be the biggest villain, I won't explain it to you, the psychology is too strong. 2, the shooting is really dull. But maybe the director's focus is not on the ups and downs of the sea of ​​wisdom, but let us look at human affection and family affection, and family affection is so indifferent and alienated. 3, the most exciting is the bargaining at the reception, with the drum beat, slowly touch each other's pulse, and then firmly hold, it feels really addictive. So cheating can't stop. 4. I...

      Am i sociopath?

      I don't know why the reviews are so bad, but after watching this movie, I actually feel very moved. No matter this scam, no matter how bright a person looks, there will always be others who can't see the sad side. God is fair, and the good and the bad are always balanced. Don't advance happiness. Buddhism says that suffering is a kind of practice. , maybe that's what it's saying. There is always a reason behind what you see on the surface. You should really observe and explore carefully, and...

          The above is the plot of the movie, and then after thinking about it, I found that this is not only a biography, but also an indictment of certain departments in the United States!...

      The financial fraud from the perspective of the victim is really shocking, and the whole film also answers the question at the end very well. People who can maintain this kind of fraud for decades not only need IQ and courage, but also need a heart to anyone, including their relatives. Lovers are cold-hearted...

    Evaluation action

    The film narrates Madoff’s story as a classical tragedy about arrogance, to make up for the lack of a sense of history in the film itself; at the same time, as the audience expected, Robert De Niro and Michelle Marie Pfeiffer performed the roles very powerful. (Comment on "Salon") 
    The film sets the background of the story as the Madoff case and makes all the characters in the story the focus. At the same time, this also makes the...

    Movie quotes

    • Mark Madoff: Up until December 10th of 2008, I spent the entirity of my life in awe of my father. I juged every accomplishment, every failure, professionally and personally against the life he lived. He's a proven man in everything and maybe, too much as long as I could remember I worked as hard I could to make him proud. And then one day, I found out that my father was not the man that I thought. He's a criminal, a man I didn't respect. And yet, this man, my father is the same man who taught me right from wrong, taught me to be fair and decent and honest, taught me about the importance of character, what it means to be a husband... and most importantly, how to be a father. I am the son of Bernie Madoff. I used to think I could never escape that. Now I'm certain I won't. Why is it so hard to believe that those closest to him didn't see him as a criminal? Why is it so hard to believe that his son would think his father could do no wrong? When I look at my youngest son, Nick, I fear the day when he's old enough to ask what's his grandfather was like. What kind of man was he? If I tell him he's evil, how can I explain...

    • Mark Madoff: You should trust me in helping with advisory. I can handle this kind of thing for you.

      Bernie Madoff: That's my business, not yours.

      Mark Madoff: Ahd what happens when you're gone?

      Bernie Madoff: I'm not having this discussion with you.

      Mark Madoff: I'm just asking you...

      Bernie Madoff: I'm not having this discussion with you.

      Mark Madoff: What is it, dad? Tell me. What is it? Is it that I'm not cut out?

      Bernie Madoff: Are you not listening me?

      Mark Madoff: Just be honest with me. Just tell me.

      Bernie Madoff: Do you not see what I have to deal with, the shit I have to go through on a day on daily basis?

      Mark Madoff: No, that's why...

      Bernie Madoff: The fucking shit that they put me through and fuck me all the time? Steal from me? Do you think you can do that? Do you think you can deal with that?

      Mark Madoff: Yes, I can.

      Bernie Madoff: I don't think you can deal with that. Bullshit, I don't think so. You can't stomach that stuff, that's not in you. Andy maybe, but not you.

      Mark Madoff: What? What are you saying... are you saying that Andy is... What are saying... that Andy is better at his job than I am?

      Bernie Madoff: Mark...

      Mark Madoff: I go to that fucking office every single day, I do the same thing that he does.

      Bernie Madoff: I gave you a fucking business to run, are you not happy with that? Wasn't that good enough for you?

      Mark Madoff: It is definitely good enough for me. I...

      Bernie Madoff: Then just shut the fuck up and give me a little of fucking grattitude and say "Thanks, dad". Can't you do that? What do you think, the whole fucking world owes you something? The whole fucking world owes you nothing! You gotta work for it! And I always said this to your mother. This is the problem with having money and education. Nothing is earned. You want something, you gotta fucking work for it!

      Mark Madoff: And you don't think I have?
