The collapse of a business empire

A relatively mediocre movie, kidnapping and other scenes do not have the excitement of a blockbuster, but it truly reflects the outrageous miserliness of Paul Getty, the richest man in the world at that time. When faced with the kidnapping of his grandson, he even showed his miserliness to the point of drenching. To the best of my ability.

This film is to highlight that although Paul Getty is the capital, he has little contact with others, and his descendants all died young because of drug addiction. As a result, a money empire collapsed.

Paul Getty's miserliness may be related to his life background. His father lent him money and asked him to repay 70% of the profits when Paul Getty made the first pot of gold. Money, he removed the wired telephone at home, in order to prevent the family from stealing the phone bill.

Paul Getty has been working hard all his life to earn more money for his business empire. However, this money has not bought him any happiness at all, and it has not brought his descendants the speed they deserve.

    Without the excitement and nervousness of eating melons when reading the original, this edition allows Lei Gong to embellish a rich man's story a bit romantic, dark and tragic. Most of the incidents are flat and straightforward. It is true to see the ups and downs and worry about it, but it seems to weaken the background of the times and the "wonder" of the Getty family. Keep playing for a three and a half years, and look forward to the end of the month starring Sutherland, Hilary Swank and the male "Beach Mouse".

    Although it has been released domestically, it has not been seen yet. This time, after visiting the huge "Getty Center" in Los Angeles, I watched this film based on the real history of the oil giant Getty family on the plane back. The old director Scott's sword is not old, and the rhythm and scenes are handled properly. Plummer, the handsome actor of "The Sound of Music", was 89 years old, and his performance was perfect. He seems to have become more popular recently, and his new film "Border" is about to be released.

All the Money in the World quotes

  • Prince Al-Walid: The younger generation has become weak and lazy. Our children care about nothing but Lamborghinis and discotheques.

    Fletcher Chace: Well, perhaps, then, you would do well to accept our competitor's offer.

    Prince Al-Walid: How so, Mr. Chase?

    Fletcher Chace: Maybe Standard Oil will find ways to siphon all that money away with their accounting tricks and bring your wayward children closer to God. Kidding aside, Your Highness,my employer has made you rich.

    Prince Al-Walid: Not as rich as him.

    Fletcher Chace: If you renew your land-use agreement with Getty, he'll make you twice as rich. Can Standard Oil say that? Can Standard Oil say that?

    Prince Al-Walid: We don't need the Americans anymore. Our cartel, OPEC, will control inventory now. OPEC will set the oil price.

    Fletcher Chace: Let me just be very clear, okay? Nothing would make Mr. Getty happier than to see the price of oil higher. In fact, he'd be happy to help.

  • Fletcher Chace: Gail, I lied. All right?I said I was authorized to pay them $200,000. You know how much I'm really authorized to pay? Nothing. All right, if they accept, I won't be able to deliver, but I had to buy some time. You wanted to know what I used to do. This is what I used to do, what I still do for Getty.

    Gail Harris: Because there's no one in your life but yourself.

    Fletcher Chace: Fair enough. $17 million and zero dollars, that's how far apart we are. Those numbers have got to move.
