"It's not that important".
I learned a sentence from reading other people's articles, "There are spoilers, but it doesn't matter." Personally, I think "Jasmine's Game" is such a movie.
Spoilers below, but no harm.
Based on Molly Bloom's own memoir published in 2014, Molly's Game tells the story of Molly's eight years of making millions of dollars running a high-end casino, until one day she was arrested by 17 heavily armed FBI agents. story.
The film is the directorial debut of Alan Sorkin, an Oscar-winning and Golden Globe-winning screenwriter, starring Jessica Chastain and Heimdaller Idris Elba.
In addition to being adapted from real events, the deepest impression of the film is that the dialogue in the film is fast and numerous. Due to my limited English proficiency, I always concentrate on watching the Chinese subtitles that almost "flash by" with the original English sound when watching the movie, so that I can barely understand the general content of the dialogue. Once you look away from the subtitles to catch a glimpse of the actors in action, you can't keep up with the fast and prolific dialogue.
The last film I remember that was so rhythmic was David Fincher's "The Social Network," when I just wanted to squeeze Jesse Eisenberg's neck, which was also Alan Sorkin. screenwriter. It is also a model worker starring, and the same strong woman style also makes people think of "Ms. Sloan".
If you, like me, can't keep up with the rhythm of the film, or can only barely understand the general content of the dialogue in the film, don't worry, I personally feel that this is not that important for watching this film.
Although the film is laid out in multiple lines, the main story is very obvious, that is, what happened to Jasmine who was sued by the US authorities. As Molly's regular customers include Hollywood stars, businessmen, and even members of the Russian mafia, the US authorities believed that Molly had a certain influence, but in fact they coerced and lured Molly to obtain information about her guests.
Of course, the film is not just a single story, we can also see in the film what people are like when they want to be in power, the power of family and affection and the impact of childhood experiences on a person, which is mostly due to the film. great performances by the actors,
Molly was a skier in her youth and was among the best in the world. After a setback in her sports career, she postponed her law school studies and went to Los Angeles alone for vacation. The vacation here is just not going to study, not simply doing nothing. Molly was exposed to the opening of underground gambling games while in Los Angeles, and then she opened her own high-end gambling games with her own ingenuity. Then it was targeted by the U.S. authorities.
The film uses Jasmine's mouth to tell Churchill's definition of success, "Even if you fail again and again, you will still be enthusiastic." Jasmine is such a woman. She got caught on a pine branch during the game, was squeezed by the boss when she was a waitress, and made "some" hard money by dealing with various problems during the poker game. Almost went to jail.
It can be seen from the film that Jasmine's magic weapon is not high-end clothing and heavy makeup, nor her diligence and wisdom. On the contrary, it was precisely because of Jasmine's desire to control the power that she used her ingenuity and ingenuity to open gambling games. As a result, Jasmine continued to rely on drugs to maintain her energy, and she slowly fell into loneliness and darkness.
The American version of the poster of the film is a profile face of a model worker with sunglasses. With a black background and fan fonts, it looks deep and interesting. The posters of France, Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan show a model worker sitting firmly in the banknotes. A large number of banknotes and golden fonts seem to tell the story of a successful person.
What saved this successful person in the end was the good character she maintained from beginning to end, the name given to her by her great-grandmother, and her reputation.
