Step into the abyss, just for a smooth journey

Think about characters and themes: Fate and Desire.

Chris initially left the training ground because he didn't want to bear the luck of playing the game anymore, and started a struggle all the way up. It stands to reason that he deviates from his original dream: tennis.

In the following life, he was the first and most determined "determinist of fate". He firmly believed that all good things were luck, and luck was very important. After becoming a believer of luck, the main thing he wants to do is: to achieve something, it will go very smoothly. Of course, he is also prudent and humble, so that he can win the trust of the wealthy family, work hard and make progress, and then can win the stepping stone to enter the company. Pave yourself the steps up.

It is his heart's desire to release his passion, but it is not a future plan.

Nora is different. She is dedicated to her acting career, even if she is unsuccessful, she is still working hard. The scope of achievement is very small, that is, in the direction of one's own dreams. She is unwilling to court her future mother-in-law in order to marry into a wealthy family. She was once married and had an abortion when she was young. She is an impulsive, romantic and emotional person. Therefore, I firmly believe in my dreams, but I also do not believe in luck. She never said that she was unlucky, she just wanted to work hard, but she was finally evaluated as "too bad luck".

"Luck" suddenly has the same function as a dictator and a god, you worship it, and it takes care of you. More ironic.

Ordinary people believe in luck or not, while rich people don't think about this. They just think about collecting classic cars and putting them in a certain estate, or I recently want to find a place to open a random gallery. Their lives seem easy, and that ease is in stark contrast to the difficulty of Chris's careful testing of the edges as he blends in, and the difficulty of Nora's out of place with the dialogue.

How to be able to walk smoothly, it is already difficult to enter the upper class, there is connotation, it must be stable, comprehensive, and it is best to always accompany luck.

First of all, you need to have a skill, a sport that the upper class appreciates, such as tennis. It's even better if you're a professional athlete. When you're tired of the field, the critical ball will no longer be the benchmark to confirm your destiny. It comes from your ability, technique, character and face, even if your legs are a little short.

Knocking on the door of the upper class with this noble skill also requires a rich family who is tolerant. Your wealthy brother is very important to your mate choice. First of all, his character and attitude towards you are a testament to his tutoring and family environment. A person who treats fitness coaches like brothers must have no old class concept, which proves that the family's education is inclusive and healthy. At this time, it is best for him to have a sister, or at least his friends should be bad. not going anywhere.

To integrate into the upper class life, even if you have money, you still have to prepare for some things. A humble and steady character takes years to develop. At the same time, unlike the nouveau riche, aiming at a high-class life with connotation, you must always improve yourself, listen to opera, and talk about Tchaikovsky and Dostoevs. Foundation, in order to gain the favor of the old man. Of course, first of all, it is better to have the ability to hit a beautiful sister with a single blow with her beauty.

In addition, there are even more abilities. You have to be motivated, you have to be smart, and have excellent ability. You can take over the olive branch thrown by your wife and old husband without losing the chain. Your work is prosperous and your family is happy and happy. Maybe you will have a moment. Confused, lost in the amorous feelings of sexy women, don't think about tea and rice, and don't even care about making people at home, but it doesn't matter, you can always solve it. The shotgun from your father-in-law's house, the neighbor who let you in by chance, and the enthusiastic little brother who clearly had the force but missed you, luck will be late, but it has to be a little bit.

Chris is a peerless big scumbag, and rich women are attracted to him, so he climbs along the pole; he consciously moves closer to the upper class, and works hard for it. On the other hand, it can be regarded as an inspirational story.

However, inspirational stories are twists and turns and extraordinary because it is not an inspirational story, but a surreal reality story. Few people would kill Xiaosan's children in order to block Xiaosan's mouth, or steal the shotgun from his father-in-law's house. So the main body that controls the direction of the whole thing is fate.

Luckily, this ring just fell into the hands of a drug dealer who was about to die, and silently took the blame for you.

With bad luck, the ring lingering on the railing falls at the feet of a suspicious detective.

It was the first time I watched a Woody Allen movie with few words. The front was so angry that he was a scumbag.

Chris has a secret love affair with Nora, who is hot and sexy. She doesn't think about tea and dinner, let alone work, and her passion is devoted to her warm and affordable apartment. But everything changed because of his sudden return to calm and composure, turning inconceivable and reasonable.

Chris muttered to himself that he was ready to bear the price. If he was arrested, it would only show that there is still some justice and inevitability in the world. The outcome, however, seems to lean more towards luck than ethical necessity.

At the end of the film, Tom wishes his sister's child: I dont care if he is great, I just hope that he is lucky.

This is probably the best blessing parents can give to their children, and it is also an invisible pessimism and ambiguity about the world: no one can judge what is lucky and unfortunate, and everyone has their own way to go.

Probably the road to go is smooth, even if it is lucky, no matter whether there is an abyss around, as long as the road ahead is smooth, it seems that you can walk all the way to the sky.
