(Movie prototype) The richest man in the world in the 1970s (who made a fortune in oil in the Middle East) was indifferent when his teenage grandson was kidnapped. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of 4 million, but the old man refused to give a penny, causing his grandson to have his ears cut off! The reason is if every grandson is kidnapped, how much will he have to pay! Leaving a divorce that even outsiders can't imagine, the mother who can't pay the rent suffers. Later, even if she agrees to pay the ransom, it is only for tax avoidance, and she can only give 1/4, and asks the mother to sign a contract to give up the child's custody and attribute it to drug addiction. Terrible dad. We cannot learn the ruthlessness of the rich. It can only be said that the portrayal of human nature is too shocking!

    3.5 stars, Mr. Plummer is really a good show, and the complex expression of human nature is vivid and vivid. After watching it, I don't quite understand how high the tax rate in the United States is. For such a rich person to care about this, the miser's character must be one. On the one hand, the way rich people think about things is certainly not the same as that of ordinary people, but there may be more reasons for the truth whether this kind of blackmail is really worth it.

    Money can buy paintings that are priceless, but he will never understand the love and passion of the artist when he creates. Pure beauty cannot be held in his hands, and misunderstandings about this will always induce evil. This entry point is very Scott, but the whole story still lacks the tension of confrontation, and the description of the huge empire is too monotonous.
