People hate money, but they also love money!

How greedy can a person be? Even if he is the richest person in history, he still cannot feel safe, cannot get the love of his loved ones, and cannot get inner peace. By the time of his death, perhaps he realized it, but it was too late. In today's society, money has become the most important driving force for people's life or survival. There is no problem that money can't solve, but in fact it is not. Money just makes people go the wrong way. Poor Paul, I thought he would inherit his father's business like a godfather, and show his extraordinary talent and courage fiercely, but he didn't, and he was even afraid and timid like ordinary children. And the mother, too, taught her husband how to write to her father-in-law from the beginning, thinking that she would be a smart and capable woman. However, the subsequent performance showed that it was only the appearance that looked confident, but the heart was panicked, which was really disappointing. The most disappointing thing is the Fletcher played by Mark Wahlberg. The character setting should be a very powerful character, a former agent, with a lot of connections, but this act... not only arbitrary Based on a little clue on the surface, it was judged that Paul directed and acted by himself, and then he had no clue. He completely lost the title of former agent, and there was no rigor at all. Until the end, I inexplicably picked on my boss, didn't I know he was this kind of person before? Suddenly started to erect the archway? In addition to the impressive broken thoughts as always, I really feel that this role is dispensable. And the most surprising thing is that the character fifty has his own beliefs and persistence. Why is it called fifty? Fifty pence is a little more interesting. He's a member of the Mafia, maybe fifty. But in the end, he somehow turned into a virgin whore, and watched little Paul escape during the period. Obviously his brother and uncle died because of this. Is it because of this that the cycle of cause and effect is felt? Or was it because he liked family friendship and was moved after seeing what his mother had done for her son? It's a bit far-fetched. The movie as a whole is quite exciting, mainly because it discusses the evil of money and people's hearts, which adds a lot to the movie itself. But the plot of the movie is really advanced... I don't think it should be at the level of the old man. Maybe I haven't seen it thoroughly, I hope so. People hate money, but they also love money!

    Williams performed too much, and at the end, he was almost reflexively disgusted; but the two octogenarian old men were very courageous: one stopped the loss decisively, and the other did not reveal the theft; but in the end, this is still a typical " Mark Wahlberg Syndrome "Film: Obviously the role he plays is optional or not important, but because he is Marky Mark, he must be hand-picked, hard-pointed, and finally destroy the integrity.

    Lei Gong has long been at the master level in terms of director skills and rhythm control. Such a story of a gang kidnapping a rich grandson, the director chose a literary entry point. It is not Le Suhe Rescue, which might be hot and exciting, but the richest in the world. How people think about becoming an iron cock. Such a character, how ironic the fate will be, the heroine almost defeated the iron cock with the terrible logic of the iron cock, no wonder we can not become rich.

All the Money in the World quotes

  • J. Paul Getty: It's a good day.

    Fletcher Chace: I'm glad to hear that, Mr. Getty. It'll make this much easier. We need to pay the ransom.

    J. Paul Getty: I thought you said this was a hoax.

    Fletcher Chace: Your grandson was kidnapped by members of the Calabrese' Ndrangheta. Two of the original kidnappers are dead, and one is missing.

    J. Paul Getty: That sounds like progress to me.

    Fletcher Chace: I'm afraid not, all right? They got nervous waiting for the ransom. They sold the boy to an investor.

    J. Paul Getty: "An investor"? Who invests in kidnapped children?

    Fletcher Chace: You'd be surprised. There's nothing people can't find a way to turn into money.

    J. Paul Getty: You told me that Paul and his mother had cooked this up to soak me.

    Fletcher Chace: And I was wrong, all right? Paul may have talked about being kidnapped with his friends. He put it out there. He's not behind this.

    J. Paul Getty: How do I know that you're not wrong now?

    Fletcher Chace: These people are not the old-world Malavita anymore. Their only code is profit and loss. They will do things to Paul that cannot be undone for any amount of money. We have to pay

    J. Paul Getty: Well, this simply isn't possible. My financial position has changed.

    Fletcher Chace: Really? I mean, 30 seconds ago,you said it was a good day. I mean, I'm not all that bright, but I can multiply as well as you. With oil up as much as it was this morning, you have amassed another fortune.

    J. Paul Getty: Well, what if the embargo is lifted and oil were to crash? I'd be exposed. I have never been more vulnerable financially than I am right now.

    Fletcher Chace: Mr. Getty, with all due respect, nobody has ever been richer than you are at this moment.

    J. Paul Getty: I have no money to spare.

    Fletcher Chace: What would it take? I mean, what would it take for you to feel secure?

    J. Paul Getty: More

  • Corvo: Forgive me, Ms. Getty. Just one last question, regarding your testimony earlier. Why did you think the kidnapping was a joke?

    Gail Harris: It's a *figure of speech*. The whole situation was unbelievable. It still is.

    Corvo: Well, tragic, yes, but not unbelievable.

    Fletcher Chace: It's not tragic *yet*. Maybe you ought to work on keeping it that way.

    [later]

    Fletcher Chace: Did Paul ever talk to you about having himself kidnapped?

    Gail Harris: You've got to remember who the Gettys are. Every time someone stays in the bathroom for too long, someone makes a joke about being held for ransom. Paul might have cracked a joke once or twice among friends...

    Fletcher Chace: [points] There's that word again.

    Gail Harris: What word?

    Fletcher Chace: A "joke". You said you thought it was a joke when it first happened.

    Gail Harris: Now you sound like that policeman. Whose side are you on, Mr. Chace?

    Fletcher Chace: I'm on my own side. Always. And if this is a joke, I'd like to make sure that I'm in on it.
