Kevin Spacey's "The World of Money" was eventually banned. The 80-year-old director Ridley Scott was unconvinced and replaced him with Christopher Plummer, an old man seven years older than him. He shot Spacey's scene in just 9 days, and finally saved the film.

(So ​​it can be said that this is a movie created by an 80-year-old man, Jiang is still old and spicy, and sometimes it makes sense)

Spacey would certainly play a darker and more layered Getty, but Plummer has a lingering weakness and paranoia.

The richest man in the world, who is unwilling to pay his grandson's ransom, is not as simple as selfishness, greed, and ruthlessness. He has a dark and weak side in his heart. The world and the motivation of behavior, this is the most interesting part of the movie.

What left the deepest impression on the film was this sentence of the richest man:

It's easy to get rich. Everybody can get rich. It's very difficult to BE rich.

The translation is: it is easy to make money and it is difficult to make money .

So everyone lives in their own logic.

    The old Getty's thinking mode is not surprising. Family and blood are his investments in the future. The failed investment in his son and the bad deeds of his grandson made him dare not invest again. This concept has allowed him to get money from all over the world. Lost the love of the world. What makes people strange is actually the bodyguard of the negotiation. In addition to performing "Patriot's Day" again, you also did Shen Mo?

    The old Getty has a lot of scenes, and it is amazing to have such a finished product in such a short reshoot time. The details of the era and the place of the black Italian police paparazzi are all good, and the soundtrack and rhythm are also highlights. But the whole viewing process is how KS will act and what the Italian accent of hippo belly is.
