Money can shape an empire, but the broken heart is barren and desolate

The title is a bit underwhelming. It's a bit far-fetched to call the world of money, and it's better to call it a ransom cloud. The huge industry of the Getty family is indeed staggering, but the whole film does not describe too much how this huge money empire was built, but instead entangles most of the experience on the kidnapping of Paul Getty. , depicts the attitude and handling of everyone in the family through the kidnapping incident. The old financier is rich enough to rival the country, but his indifference and indifference to the kidnapping of his grandson makes it hard to understand, even if the lawyer finds his daughter-in-law after his death and explains that he can't spend money, he can only keep investing, and the more he invests the capital. The more money, the more money. It's a bit like the Jinshan Strange Circle. The Jinshan is getting bigger and bigger, but it is getting farther and farther away from him. But it's always a bit far-fetched, and it's entirely possible to take out a few works of art and give it to her daughter-in-law.

Paul's mother was calm in dealing with her son's kidnapping, and her impulsive thoughts were finally controlled by reason. With the help of a former CIA agent played by Mark Walkerberg, she finally rescued her son. Of course, Paul also paid the price of one ear. It has to be said that Italians are prudent in fighting wars and building a mafia.

In the world of money, everything has value, even if it is a close relative, how much is it worth! ! ! The indifferent attitude in the face of the sudden kidnapping incident is the most chilling thing. What if you have wealth that can rival the country? In the end, when he died, no family was by his side, and there was only a painting to accompany him to Huangquan, which is really sad! ! ! His son was addicted to drugs and lived in a mess, like a mess. It also had a lot to do with the indifference of the old Getty to his family. In his eyes, only interests, utilization values, the necessity of investment and other capital matters , and the rest, in his eyes, is just a waste of time to care about, including his family. . .

In terms of wealth, he is a very rich man and has a business empire that no one can match; but in terms of family and affection, he is a complete asshole, and his attitude towards family, friends, and employees is only to see if there is any value for use. If not, immediately Kick it away, indifference to the point of cold blood, indifference to the point where everything in the world is desperate! ! ! !

Money can shape an empire, but the broken heart is barren and desolate! ! !
