I am not a gambler

After watching the movie, there are mixed flavors.

The epitome of life in the real world is in the movie. Although it is short, it is enough.

Mark seems to be a complete gambler, even though he has achieved impressive achievements in the eyes of ordinary people, he is brilliant, and he is a professor in the Faculty of Arts.

The lowest-level casino dealer in the society also looked down on him and told him not to gamble. He roared "What do you look at? Dealing cards". The Koreans know his gambling skills, but this guy is so unaware of advances and retreats. Just accept it when it’s good, so that every time I lose everything and leave, I owe a butt debt, and my qualification to enter the casino is disqualified. The African Black Brother specializes in loan sharks and appreciates his talents, but he contemptuously says how much money you can make for writing a novel? Can you afford my gambling debt? In the eyes of the black boss, Mark still has potential. He can win 2.5 million US dollars in the casino. He can already say "Fuck you" at random, but you dare not die. Everyone around looked at him with contempt. This person is simply unreasonable. There is something wrong with it. It's all right. What do you want?

Mark is brilliant, at least he thinks he is. He thinks that you have to ask yourself first, can it work? If you don't even have self-confidence, don't do it at all and don't waste time. There are many students who listened to it, but it really was a lot less. He encourages students to do what they do best, for the sake of their ideals, learn to give up, and work hard for them desperately. However, everyone has an inhuman heartache (the basketball prince’s leg injury and family background, the girl’s enlightenment family background and literary origin, it seems that there is no shortcut or possibility for success). Not many people can understand him, but there are two. I don’t fully understand, but at least he didn’t oppose him. The girl even encouraged him to go to the casino to play. His friends, family members, and people who lent him money persuaded him to give up, and everyone around him spurned him with contempt, but he never gave up. For this reason, his grandfather did not leave him a penny when he died. It was so cruel. He couldn't take the money with him after he died, and he didn't want to give him a share. His mother saved him once when he was in distress. But in the end, everyone betrayed their relatives and his mother also left him. He was alone and the car was dragged away.

The beautiful girl fell in love with him, even if he had nothing. It was the girl who softened his broken heart. But he didn't promise the girl. He wanted to succeed. He had nowhere to go. He had reached the point of breaking into a boat. At the moment of life and death, he didn't even look at it, because he knew that he had reached the point of winning. After so many trials, many failures and falls.

He has already worked hard with everything he has, can he fail in his desperate efforts?

I am not a gambler, everyone is dumb, although he still has no money at the end of the film, but he is already running on the road to success.

The Gambler quotes

  • Jim Bennett: You're born as a man with the nerves of a soldier, the apprehension of an angel

  • Jim Bennett: I've been up two and a half million dollars.

    Frank: What you got on you?

    Jim Bennett: Nothing.

    Frank: What you put away?

    Jim Bennett: Nothing.

    Frank: You get up two and a half million dollars, any asshole in the world knows what to do: you get a house with a 25 year roof, an indestructible Jap-economy shitbox, you put the rest into the system at three to five percent to pay your taxes and that's your base, get me? That's your fortress of fucking solitude. That puts you, for the rest of your life, at a level of fuck you. Somebody wants you to do something, fuck you. Boss pisses you off, fuck you! Own your house. Have a couple bucks in the bank. Don't drink. That's all I have to say to anybody on any social level. Did your grandfather take risks?

    Jim Bennett: Yes.

    Frank: I guarantee he did it from a position of fuck you. A wise man's life is based around fuck you. The United States of America is based on fuck you. You're a king? You have an army? Greatest navy in the history of the world? Fuck you! Blow me. We'll fuck it up ourselves.
