There are many movies based on autobiography, but such a crime-themed feminist movie can be said to be rare.
Such a film gives us the feeling that it is a crime step by step, and when it is at its peak, everything suddenly returns to reality.
In the end, the family will wake you up with a bowl of steaming chicken soup and tell you how life should go.
So I saw the game, but I deeply regret the ending.
In such a movie, you can see blood, crime, fighting, and inspiration. But it's all short-lived.
It's such a movie that I love and hate at the same time, and that's what I'm going to talk about today—
"Jasmine's Game"
Molly's Game (2017)
The film is based on real people and tells the story of "poker princess" Molly Bloom. An interlude method is used in the film. When Molly was indicted, it was interspersed with how she went from being a skier to becoming the nation 's biggest poker player.
Molly started out as a skier, but an accident while participating in the Olympic trials led to her back story. In fact, because the two younger brothers are too good, they choose to escape from their own lives and stay away from their original lives.
Life abroad, because of the desire for money. So she started working as a liquor girl, and later said she was working as a clerical job, but she actually helped organize poker games, and Jasmine seemed to fall in love with this kind of life, thinking it was the fastest way to get money, but she What she thinks is that this is just a test on the edge of the law, not breaking the law, which also writes an opening chapter for her later life .
Later, because the original boss felt that Jasmine was going to replace her, so she was out of the game, and Jasmine opened the game by herself. She was thrown out again, went to New York to start a new life, and finally broke the law-because she took too much loan and did not collect the debt, which caused the game to almost collapse.
So she took a 2% commission, and that was the beginning of her being pulled into the water. The originally smooth life was also ruined by such a mistake. In the end, she was prosecuted, until his father, his lawyer helped her force her down a bowl of chicken soup, and Jasmine woke up.
After reading it, I feel that it is the formation of the game, and the personal history of the fortune is really wonderful and unique. At least the idea of forming a poker game time and time again, I can see the blood boil. But the director doesn't seem to be satisfied with the simple narrative, so he forcibly added sensational feelings again and again. From the beginning of the failure of the competition, the blame of the father, and the excellence of the younger brother, he has embarked on his own path.
The director seems to want everyone to know that women are no worse than anyone, it's just the feeling of inferiority caused by the fact that most families look down on women . That's right, the director did make me feel that way. But at the end, there was a reversal, making everyone feel that only family members will help you when you are in the most critical time , so why don't your father come to help you when you make a mistake, so a woman who hates her father, an independent woman, can Are you relieved in a few words and a bowl of chicken soup?
There is also a director who wants to create a kind personality: Jasmine did not embark on the road of crime because of love of money, but because she was unable to pay the expenses brought by the loan and owed a high debt, so she chose to draw commissions. Because even if Jasmine betrays the tidbits of anyone who has ever set up a poker game, she can earn back the 2.8 million. But no, she has a conscience so she chooses not to do it.
But that's not how I think it feels. Because from the very beginning, when she asked the lawyer whether her tip was reasonable, the lawyer's ambiguous attitude showed that Jasmine was walking on the edge of the law, and she might have accidentally fallen into the road of breaking the law.
We can't deny that Jasmine is kind, but we can't deny that if we touch these illegal things, even if we haven't touched it yet, who can guarantee it?
Often walking by the river, how can you not get wet shoes!
