    How much impact does the environment have on people

    I have also been thinking about how much the environment will affect a person. The story has always left a suspense, knowing that seeing Valentine and hearing the Duke brothers dialogue, I can almost predict the end of the story. Valentin firmly grasped it when he got a good environment,...

    A comedy that explores the impact of the environment on people, exaggerated and bantering, it is thought-provoking. Jamie Lee Curtis contributes welfare to the audience~

    "The theme of comedy is social integration, and it is usually realized in the form of the central role being integrated into this society." The duty of comedy is to return unordered things to order, tolerate or control the factors that awaken its explosive power. For example, poverty is one of the final problems that comedy needs to solve. Poverty and class differences disappeared in this film, and it tells us that the root of poverty directly stems from the selfishness and abuse of privilege of capitalists.

Trading Places quotes

  • Billy Ray Valentine: [being pushed away by the doorman] Hey, man! I really don't appreciate this! I don't care what it is! A spiced ham! Anything! Some crackers!

    [the Dukes enter the building]

    Billy Ray Valentine: Thanks a lot. How'd you like a stump up your ass?

    Heritage Club Doorman: Stay outta here!

    Billy Ray Valentine: You got a lotta soul. 'Preciate it.

  • Billy Ray: No thanks, guys, I already had breakfast this morning.

    Mortimer Duke: This is NOT a *meal,* Valentine. We are here to TRY to explain to you what it is we DO here.

    Randolph Duke: We are 'commodities brokers,' William. Now, what are commodities? Commodities are agricultural products... like coffee that you had for breakfast... wheat, which is used to make bread... pork bellies, which is used to make bacon, which you might find in a 'bacon, lettuce and tomato' sandwich.

    [Billy Ray turns and gives a long look at the camera]

    Randolph Duke: Randolph

    [continuing]

    Randolph Duke: And then there are other commodities, like frozen orange juice... and GOLD. Though, of course, gold doesn't grow on trees like oranges.

    [chuckles]

    Randolph Duke: Clear so far?

    Billy Ray: [nodding and smiling, even though it ISN'T clear to him] Yeah.

    Randolph Duke: Good, William! Now, some of our clients are speculating that the price of gold will rise in the future. And we have other clients who are speculating that the price of gold will fall. They place their orders with us, and we buy or sell their gold for them.

    Mortimer Duke: Tell him the good part.

    Randolph Duke: The good part, William, is that, no matter whether our clients make money or lose money, Duke & Duke get the commissions.

    Mortimer Duke: Well? What do you think, Valentine?

    Billy Ray: Sounds to me like you guys a couple of bookies.

    Randolph Duke: [chuckling, patting Billy Ray on the back] I told you he'd understand.
