Heaven and earth conscience, what kind of security does the rich have? How can we ordinary people know? The film is artistically based on real events.
The writers didn't do a large-scale description of how the hostages were rescued, and properly portrayed the tragic grandson, the state of imprisonment, and the isolated mother.
The biggest highlight of this play is how the rich and their families view their relationship and affection? The grandfather of the super rich, when he was blackmailed by the kidnappers, his first reaction was not to rescue his grandson. But I want to find out, does this kind of kidnapping really exist? When he determined that the kidnapping was real, the first thing he wanted to do was still not how to pay the ransom. In contrast, the tragic mother, who has been hoping to pay a ransom in exchange for her son's freedom.
In fact, when we watch many crime movies, we will find that the person who paid the ransom is stupid, but our emotions do not allow us to refuse to pay the ransom. In this sense, although the mother has feelings, he is not a master of problem solving. Although the second grandfather looks indifferent, in fact, he loves this grandson very much.
The director used a brand new perspective to try to analyze the true inner feelings of the grandfather and grandson. The grandfather's true feelings for his grandson are precisely under the indifferent expression. Emotional mothers can neither truly solve problems nor rationally judge the current environment. If it wasn't for Grandpa's help, Chesson, everything the mother did would be wrong.
Grandpa's sense of security is very low. He doesn't trust anyone, including all his relatives. The only thing that is valuable to him is his lovely grandson. He knew that once he paid the ransom and redeemed his grandson, the next time this grandson would be in more danger, maybe not only this person would kidnap him, but more people would take it as a threat, and he would have nothing to do with it. There is a way out. The grandson's mother, because she felt that this son was very important to him, had to do everything she could to save his life.
In this play, the greatness of maternal love is not really what the director wants to express. When grandpa met for the first time, he gave a very important thing to his grandson, which showed that grandpa cherished this grandson. At the same time, grandpa would also take grandson to visit, which is very meaningful to him and represents a place. He was reminding this grandson from time to time, trying to teach him how to survive. The rules of the money kingdom are completely different from the society of ordinary people.
The grandson was accidentally kidnapped, and the blow to the grandfather was far greater than he showed. The world famous painting that could not be hung, in my opinion, is also a manifestation of love. On the surface, during the time when the grandson was kidnapped, the grandfather should have dealt with the kidnapping of the grandson, but he chose to buy himself a painting that could never be hung. Is this famous painting real? ? In fact, he doesn't care anymore. He would rather spend 1.5 million US dollars to buy this painting than spend 200,000 dollars for his ex-daughter-in-law to redeem his grandson. When he really decides to save When he had his grandson, he demanded that his daughter-in-law return the custody of his grandson to the Getty family.
However, as the daughter-in-law of a beloved grandson, it's a monetary deal. An impossible monetary transaction. Six months later, Grandpa paid a ransom of 3.2 million. This is already down a lot from the original 17 million ransom. But obviously, the grandson was rescued.
The film does show the callousness of Grandpa, especially after that, caring and loving. Didn't tell you why? Grandpa never believed anyone. He is well versed in the truth of the market and knows the outcome after he pays the ransom. As the king of the money kingdom, grandpa must use money to measure everything he owns. Therefore, a rich man like grandpa has a better mind than ordinary people. More indifferent, more somber, more impersonal. In his mind, there has never been anything more objective than money. All items can be priced, and as long as there is a price, it can be traded.
At some point, we will call this kind of person who is objective to the extreme a money machine. All they do is put the right money in the right place and nothing else.
I don't know what Grandpa experienced in his early years, but his later years were not very happy. All the people were betrayed and separated from each other. Everything he cherished, he couldn't express his true feelings. He must be a lonely man. He put his bust among the many art collections, as if he was also a member of those works of art, and perhaps he also hoped that he could become a valuable item.
Such a play is not very commercial, although the name seems to be very high-end. But removing the surface, we will find that this is a story about family affection and trust between people. The old man was a loser, despite his infinite commercial success. My son is also a loser. He takes drugs, gets divorced, doesn't care about children, and his ex-daughter-in-law is also a loser. He has poor work ability and poor judgment. According to the review of historical events, this grandson, who was finally rescued, still did not escape. This half-year imprisonment brought him an endless nightmare.
In this seemingly successful rescue, all the people were losers, and no one succeeded. The money in the story brings no one but harm. However, it is ironic that without the $3.2 million, the grandson would still not be able to escape. In other words, the successful rescue did depend on money. But money did not bring happiness to anyone.
