Who is the player of the game, is it you?

"Money Monster", a movie that has been concerned since the release of the trailer, has been waiting. From the editing of the trailer, I just know the action, the horror, and the crime. But the positive film I watched today did add a little more, suspense, it can also be called the game in the game. In fact, what you most want to know during the viewing process is Kyle’s question, where did the 800 million US dollars go? Although the final ending is a bit sad, it is still a good film and it is very inspiring. But who is the center of this farce, and who is the public being fooled?

At the beginning, Kyle got involved in the show, shot demonstrations, and made Li put on a bomb suit. At this time, he is a player in this kidnapping game, and everyone else is just a prop in this game. Then Li's embarrassing move: How much is my life worth? , Passersby became players of the game. When the police were confident that Kyle's girlfriend would be the center of the farce, they got a series of slaps in the face. Kyle became a player again and became a game center. When Patty was constantly looking for Walter Camby, Camby became a player of the game, but he never showed up. The moment when the police appeared to shoot Li, the game reversed and Li became the player of the game. After that, Kyle said that the bomb was clay, which made him more convinced. In the end, Kyle's death, Camby's confession, although he did not make a mistake in law, his morality has been compromised. Maybe it's what he said, when the stock loses money, you all come to me, but when it makes money, you don't say a word. This is business! The boundary between business and ethics is worth thinking about.

Life is like this every day, there is constant balance, and then it will cause imbalance and tend to balance again. Just like the show itself of "Money Monster". 800 million, this huge number is more like the reason than the answer. However, we are unable to change the status quo that is not under our control. Is it just a fish that can only be slaughtered? It can only be reduced to the "small investors" in the mouth of the upper class. It doesn't seem to be the case, we can only live slowly and take every step of the way. Kyle's girlfriend called him just reading in the basement, just a fool, and passersby just treated him as a funny joke before he shot him. Because this behavior itself is ridiculous, and it can go out for others. However, it is of no use. Rather than complaining and asking the reason all the way to the end, it is better to think about yourself in reverse. Although his strength is small, he can still live well, right? After an accident, rather than just sit and wait for death, it is better to save yourself. Who said that in this game, we can only become the funeral of others! Compared with this farce, the indifference brought about by how much life is worth, it may be more important to control one's own initiative in this game. At least we are active, we don’t need to be known, we don’t need to experience the powerlessness of life in the hands of others.

I think of a sentence in the "Wukong Biography": When five hundred years of time are just a scam, why do the characters in the void of time suffer and why? Things, so now, are you alive, or are you dying? If this game has an ending, let the process be more exciting, at least before we leave the world, we know that we are still the master of the game of life.

    After watching the movie last night, I felt that the viewing experience was not good, so I chose to watch it again. However, the final outcome is still very heavy. Personally, I don't know why I like to watch some hijacking-themed movies. This movie is also the type of watching the beginning and guessing the end. Money leads people astray here, but it makes me feel like a sideline, and a character who wants to turn back because he went the wrong way at the beginning is not helpful, but it is even more worrying.

    After Kyle was shot, the onlookers of the reality show were shocked for less than 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, people lowered their heads and continued to do their own affairs. After all, most people are shrewd, no matter how tragic it is. It has nothing to do with your own life...just like the end of the spoof video, after a smile, who remembers Kyle...

  • Lee Gates: You know what happened. It was a computer glitch.

    Kyle Budwell: A glitch! A glitch! A glitch! Shut up about the glitch! All right? What the hell does that even mean? You see, you don't even know. I'm not stupid, Lee. I told you, because somehow these clowns lost $800 million overnight. Overnight. And nobody's even actually explained how. How is something like that even possible, huh? It's not a rhetorical question. I want an answer.
