And I think there are two details in the film that were handled particularly well. When the news that Bobby made a lot of money on the day of 9/11 came out, everyone was hostile to their family. Among them, Laura's siblings persuaded her to divorce. On the one hand, Laura's brother was a firefighter who died in the 9/11 incident, and the relationship was always a little awkward. On the other hand, Poppy was the target of public criticism. SO, although I hate these people who point fingers at other people's lives, especially their emotional lives, but from this standpoint, I can understand a little bit. But when her brother persuaded her, he actually said: You didn't sign the prenuptial agreement, you can share half of his property if you leave him... Excuse me? Isn't your reason for criticizing him that what he earned was disaster money, stolen money smeared with the blood of your brothers? How to calculate other people's money and forget that it is disaster money? The second detail is that after the bus broke down, the protesters who were entrenched at the door of Poppy's company happily accepted Poppy's arrangement and went home in a luxury extended car before the heavy rain. At this time, no one cares that those luxury cars were bought with the money earned during Tower down. Although such details are mean, but they have to admit that it is very real.
But - it's been a long time, and finally the but - but there's no need to make the elite so flawless, right? no alcohol, no drug, no multi-sex, is this a financial tycoon or a puritan with few desires? When Bobby rejected the invitation of the beautiful female singer, I was surprised, not that he would refuse, but the reason "I'm married, and that's a real thing." This should not be the male lead of Mary Sue. lines? After all, the rich are easy to get (isn’t it good ┑(￣Д ￣)┍), true love is hard to find! As soon as this remark came out, how many girls' hearts were lost by Su. However, this show is not for girls, so this setting is for, Mao, ah?
Moreover, he also takes care of the family and will accompany and protect the children. He also feels guilty for not being able to delay the death of his employee and loses a billion in the trade because he's told he wants to live until Christmas to dress up as Santa, and the plot goes like this The film is really refreshing.
Well, let's put aside the Wolf of Wall Street stereotype, imagine this is a Zuckerberg-style image (although it doesn't match the setting), and refuse all temptations just to stay awake all the time, after all, there are billions in the blink of an eye big in and big out.
But he is already so perfect, is it necessary to let him always win? In the 12 episodes, I fought with Chuck for N rounds. Although it may have come and gone, Poppy has always had the upper hand. His several crises were either tickle-like petty troubles, or countermeasures in which everything was under control. The only thing that caused substantial harm was the exposure of the trading behavior on the day of 911. The consequences of this were a bit serious. An employee ran all night and poached investors... But the effect of the film was like a slightly offensive question in a talk show - the purpose was to give the interviewee a chance to explain the whitewashing. As Bobby himself said, when the first plane hit him, he didn't even know it was a terrorist attack. He just instinctively smelled the money and made a deal. This is not so much speculation as he is He's smart, after all, he doesn't make money by selling arms to terrorists; when the second plane hits, he knows that his colleagues and compatriots are gone forever, but their families are still there, and he has a lot of love for them. Responsibility, of course this is nonsense. He is for money, but he did help those surviving family members, so you can't say he is hypocritical. As for the so-called inside information throughout the season, although I firmly believe that it is true, there is no real hammer from the beginning to the end, not even a side attack. The only blemish on the surface is bribing the public servants to settle the employee's illegal possession of weapons. The former tells the truth and who is clean. As for the latter, oh my god, it's just another personality charm, isn't it?
Let's look at his opponent Chuck (of course he also belongs to the elite class), I will not discuss the image for the time being, I don't think SM can be regarded as a stain, living in a big house bought with other people's money, and the children are on other people's A private school that pays tuition fees, but only wants to kill others - as a person with a particularly high tolerance, I think it can be forgiven. After all, as a public servant, it is a duty to uphold the dignity of the law, right? But if you don't have the ability to find evidence, it's your fault that you insist on biting to the death. In the play, Chuck won several small wins, either because his subordinates made a crooked fight, or operated illegally, violating procedural justice, or gained the upper hand on the surface and actually suffered a secret loss. As a prosecutor, it really seems that Hin is unprofessional. Investigating the so-called insider trading of others, it is called a high-sounding, like the representative of the law, the embodiment of justice, the real insider trading of my father, the first reaction is to tip off. It is said that because he loves his wife, he takes special care of Bobby, who is very close to his wife, out of jealousy. , this character is very unpleasant. I don't understand what the value of his existence is, does it contradict the protagonist's charm?
But this kind of drama doesn't need a spotless General Changsheng, so it's easy to become the protagonist's halo gold finger, you are so good, what else is there to watch. Even the elites have struggles and dilemmas that the elites have to face. President Natsume is so tired of it, and he has to be deflated from time to time. Encountering problems and solving problems, there are back and forth, winning and losing. This is the daily life of the elite. The so-called elite does not mean that they cannot lose but can afford to lose, okay? You have a happy family and a prosperous career, and even have a back door to smuggle to Europe by plane. Can you have a real fight? I am quite puzzled and unbelievable that more than a dozen editors and directors agree with such a perfect character.
So, next season, can we change to a stronger opponent? Can we have some close-to-body combat, the kind that can hear the sound and see the wound, fight.
Of course, my biggest appeal is to change to a more handsome opponent, this is important!
