The Dialectics of Money and Family

Money World ☞ The real story of the kidnapping of the rich three generations.
I happened to read the detailed introduction to this kidnapping incident before watching the movie, so I have some understanding. It is
not like a suspense drama that can have subversive answers. , the documentary films that can only be ordered by class have been solidified a lot less interesting.
Therefore, according to the reality, the whole kidnapping case does not revolve around how to rescue, but how to persuade the big boss of the Getty family to pay the ransom, which is very humane and helpless
. In the whole film, only his mother and witnessing him are the ones who really worry about John's safety. The kidnapper, who is in an increasingly dangerous situation and whose conscience is still alive, is here.
The former kind of mother's love that is always unwilling to give up at critical moments no matter how bad the child is, has a feeling of sighing and sadness. So don't belittle yourself easily, at least your mother will still be there for you.
The latter kind of bad and incomplete people are everywhere in reality, but the direct fuse of the kidnapping started from them, so it can be regarded as a great fortune in John's misfortune.
Another major feature is still the shortcomings that are very easy to appear in the film: the reality in this story is too weakened in the film, the choice of character presentation is simplified and symbolic of the
father Getty II, the explanations of other family members are very sloppy, newspapers, etc. image is too extreme. The important four main roles in-depth analysis should be just a flat role.
What impressed me the most was Chase, who was indispensable but showed no negotiating ability at all. In the early stage, he was even a little arrogant. He successfully persuaded the richest man at the last minute to argue that "he has the ability to control security measures"... very unreal .
In the end, I really hope that many movies can be turned into TV, and the stories will be longer and fuller. (Then it was finally discovered that the male protagonist was the one who attacked Boston)

    No matter how well the rescued Plummer acted, it could not prevent nearly 60% of the film from being misplaced. After all, in the scenes without the old man, the actors' performances were also based on the Spacey version, but the remaining four Becoming a Lei Gong fan is still enough to be satisfied. When the beautiful scene in "Black Hawk Down" appears, you can only admire it. This is called a lofty personal pursuit. It is so important to win the award or not.

    Lao Lei's various types of films are basically fun to watch. Williams has a little more traces of acting this time, but Plumo can't see the slightest bit of supplementary filming. I'd love to see the Spacey version.

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.
