Blackjack to see Blackjack, on the boat from Stockholm to Riga.

Unable to resist temptation is one of the common weaknesses of human beings. No matter how you put emotion aside from reason, in the end, reason will still lose to emotion. There is no way, who made you human.

People like to play games of control, to search for rules in the complicated world, to use the rules to turn the unknown into the known, to play God and enjoy it. Behind all these dizzying games hides a desperate desire for security. It's as if we don't see a steady increase in the numbers in our bank accounts, and then the fear of life in the future arises spontaneously.

The game of control always loses to yourself. Once you start, you can't stop, and losing control is almost a 100% ending. The only way out is to refuse to play anymore.

    It's an OK casino film, but my IQ is not enough to understand the algorithm of 21 points, and the director's interpretation is not good enough, and even a little tricky.

    Those who want to learn technology are bound to be disappointed, haha, and the director didn't reveal the meaning at all. I like the plot. In the second half, when everything is gone, I really have to sigh that Nima is a bloody life, Atai can resonate

  • [first lines]

    Ben Campbell: [narrating] 'Winner, winner, chicken dinner.' Those words had been dancing around my head all night. I mean, it's Vegas lore, that phrase. Just ask any of the old-time pit bosses, they'll know. It was a Chinese dealer at Binion's who was first credited with the line. He would shout it every time he dealt blackjack. That was over 40 years ago, and the words still catch. 'Winner, winner, chicken dinner.' Yeah, try it. I had heard it at least 14 times that night. I couldn't lose. First of all, what I was doing wasn't illegal. There were certain institutions and people that frowned upon it, but it's legal. And not everyone can do it. Just those with gifted minds. I have a gifted mind. That's what got me into all this mess. I was counting cards and I was up over $640,000.

    Ben Campbell: [we see the images of Ben winning at a game table] We used hand signals, too. Folded arms, the table's hot. A touch to the eye, we need to talk. And a hand running through perfect flowing hair meant only one thing. Get out. Now. 'Winner, winner, chicken dinner.'

  • [Ben talks to Professor Gilpin about getting the Robinson Scholarship]

    Bob Phillips: The Robinson Scholarship is comprehensive, as you know. It's a free ride. And free rides don't come easy.

    Ben Campbell: Absolutely.

    Bob Phillips: We have 76 applicants, this year. Only one of them will get the Scholarship. And most of whom have resumes just as impressive as you.

    Ben Campbell: Right. Uh, Professor Phillips? Some kids grow up wanting to play for the Red Sox. You know, some grow up wanting to be, I don't know, a fireman. I grew up... Well, really, I just wanted to come here to Harvard Med. And now that I've gotten accepted, it seems to only come down to the money. Which I don't really have. So, what I'm trying to say is that I really, really need this scholarship.

    Bob Phillips: Did you rehearse that?

    Ben Campbell: Yeah. Like, 14 times in front of the mirror.

    Bob Phillips: Unfortunately, desire doesn't figure into this much. The Robinson is going to go to someone who... Dazzles. Somebody who just jumps off the page.
