Life is like a game of cards, there are calculations everywhere

Excellent grades, ordinary family background, obsessed with science competitions, the appearance of a typical top student. But when Ben saw Jill shine in the gym, I knew he was saved. After being used to watching Hong Kong and Taiwan gambling films, watching such a film does have some different feelings. It is no longer a one-man show of a gambler, but a teamwork. However, just like the calculation of blackjack, the characters in the film are all masters of calculation.
The teacher has been involved in this trip for a long time and made seven figures. Since then, he has stepped back behind the scenes, digging out students with computing talents to help him make money, and using relationships to help them get through everything. (Sounds very Chinese, doesn't it?) When Ben lost 200,000 due to emotional problems, he mercilessly drove him away, just like he had driven Fisher before. Those are just his money-making tools, and there is no emotion to speak of. He stole Ben's savings and prevented him from graduating, and he retorted in class that he had already calculated that Ben would come back and help him continue to make money. As he said, "we are counting, not gambling" is not bound by emotion, and complete rationality is what everyone has in common.
The man who specializes in playing cards and counting was fired by his boss. Mickey made him lose face, and most importantly, he lost his job and even couldn't support himself after retirement. On the one hand, he wants to prove that he is stronger than the machine in order to retain customers who are gradually losing, and on the other hand, he is planning for his future life. After all, there is one word for him from beginning to end - money. He finally asked Ben to take Mickey on the bait, on the one hand, for revenge. The more important reason is that he has long predicted that Ben and Mickey will get a lot of property together, and all this will eventually belong to his name.
Sensitive to numbers, the most accurate card-counter is actually one of the worst in the entire film. Because participating in the event broke the relationship with my roommate, which affected my mood and directly led to losing money. If he was rational and not emotional, nothing after that would have happened. When it's hot, Fisher's end is not much better than him, and it is also an emotional team.
Conflicting with his own team leader, that team leader still has to meet with his teacher, the result must have been imagined. Mickey had already hinted at this when Fisher left, but at that time Ben was already overwhelmed by emotion. The calculation of the subsequent plan was indeed perfect, but he did not calculate that his money would be circled for the second time, and at that time the calculation range of others.
This is because he didn't take into account the hardest part to calculate - the variables. However, the previous class section did a good job of telling the audience that variables can be calculated, as long as you have a grasp of statistics. The last chicken dinner belongs only to those who can think rationally and make the fewest mistakes.
Of course, a movie is all rational calculation and the character's test of variable calculation is boring. Therefore, there must be a charming woman at the critical time, and the intimate tie in the clothing store will attract the bait. Roll the sheets at the right moment, so that the audience's left and right brains have a chance to switch. Reason can lead us to richness, but it often happens that we can't count or don't want to count, and sometimes even have nothing. Of course, the contented person always comforts himself - it's called life experience.

    Hahahaha Source room dinner time in the hard drive, this is really a soft text, [21 is really exciting game 哟] Day's male protagonist Jim Xianson, the serious face here is really good, it's more suitable to continue the decadent literary style, 囧
