According to real events, as far as the movie is concerned, it is also very real.
Taking the kidnapping of the grandson of billionaire Paul Getty, an oil tycoon in American history, shows the indifference and nihilism of Paul Getty's empire. Paul Getty loves his grandson. Although he has more than a dozen children and grandchildren, this kidnapped one is his own grandson that he has been trying to cultivate. However, because the son and daughter-in-law were divorced, the daughter-in-law exchanged custody for custody. And Paul Getty, who is prudent, "surprisingly", can't hold on to the ransom (seems to make sense, after all, if he pays, then the other dozen or so children are in danger. And the sophisticated he is also unsatisfactory with his own The children and grandchildren are grumpy, worrying that they are "kidnapping themselves" to blackmail themselves); then he took out the ransom and his daughter-in-law in exchange for the custody of the grandson (the key is that he valued the money for tax deduction, and to put it bluntly spent it was equivalent to no flowers). With the help of his daughter-in-law, and a loyal and righteous security advisor, the grandson returned home despite losing his ear. And as soon as he got home, he became the heir. Because Paul Getty died in the middle of the night.
The magic lies in Paul Getty's money-making model. He avoided handing over the money he earned to the state as a tax. He established a charitable trust, of course not for charitable causes, but for tax avoidance. Then he can't spend it, because the charitable trust fund means that the money is always "for the society" and is public money; but it can be invested, after all, this is another fund, the fund can roll over, and it needs to roll over. So he became a collector and bought a lot of antiques.
Paul Getty died, and the fortune was ultimately left to his grandson. Although the grandson will continue his life with the golden key, he is entangled with a large group of girls. However, Paul Getty's good daughter-in-law, taking advantage of the power, began to do real charity work, and also established a museum with those collections. How nice. Originally, wealth and resources belong to society. Life does not bring, death does not bring. As Su Shi said, between heaven and earth, each thing has its own owner, and if it is not mine, even if it is not mine, I will not take it.
So movies have at least two values, they can help us understand the thinking of billionaires, and they can also help us enjoy life. 18.4.10
