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!
