Did the old man lose?

I rarely write a movie review after watching a movie

.
We all know that the whole movie is carried out by three games (and this is also a game that is only told to the audience at the end of the second), and the ending of each game should have a bright spot.
In the first game, there is no doubt that the old man ended up winning.
In the second round, the young man pretended to be a police officer, showed his pistol, and used a violent identity to show that he was really stealing the jewelry this time, but in the end, he didn't want the jewelry, and brought jewelry to the old man to play with the old man. The young man wins. (Personally, I don’t think this kind of victory is elegant enough. Although it has the effect of scaring, it has the meaning of humiliation. Of course, it can also be understood as a kind of revenge, but it is still a little bit more violent than the old man. You know. ..)

Well, when the story is here, I think readers will report to see how the director will make it up and watch the screen with headphones and continue to watch the movie.
At this time, the director will take the initiative to mention that there will be a third game (this is actually this one. The failure of the movie should not be brought up. This actually makes me very embarrassed. How can I write to surpass the first two games, so that readers obviously feel that at least the next 15 minutes of the film are under wraps, and the viewing experience is degraded, I personally think), The old man and the young man looked at each other and wandered about each other, just like two swordsmen fighting each other, about to compete with each other...

In the third round, the old man spoke first, admiring the young man's thoughts and offering to leave the young man to take care of him The young man must know how to trick him, so the young man takes the trick, and the two sides each see how to play the cards.
Next, enter the bedroom scene. When the story enters the young man asking the old man to pour the wine for him, both parties understand that the game has been tacitly understood. The old man is always expressionless, and the old man has no choice but to pour the wine. ?
It is not the pouring of wine that decides who wins and who wins, not whether the young man accepts maintenance or not, but the three phone calls. In the first call, the woman has already stated that she wants to break up, but the man pretends to be calm; The old man is back, and he is on the road (it can also be seen from the cut into the car); the third call was made by the woman to the old man, indicating that she was coming back, but why did the old man not answer? It is because the old man has seen the clues of the two calls and knows that the woman will definitely leave the young man. (From the director's arrangement, the young man is kneeling, and the old man is standing. It can also be considered like this). At this time, the young man felt that he must win the third game and humiliate the old man before leaving, otherwise the woman would be gone and the game would be lost. The young man pretended to be fooled, until the showdown of the young man on the bed. (PS, this paragraph is too decisive, but the performances of the old actors Michael and Jude are really extreme). At this point, many people may think that the young man wins, while the old man shoots the young man in anger and finally guesses whether the young man is dead, right?

The young man didn't die. Remember the shot the young man fired before the old man forced the old man to open the safe in the second game and said that this shot was an empty bullet and that the next shot would be a live bullet? And the movie did punch a hole in the wall! The young man lied, it's not empty, it's live, the next shot is empty, and this shot is the one the old man fired at the end of the movie. (It is also true that the young man did not bleed at the end of the movie.)

The whole third game was dominated by the old man, but the young man was not fooled. In theory, the old man had the disadvantage and the young man had a slight upper hand. It's just for the young people to be fooled. In the end, it's not the use of empty bombs to frighten the young people into unconsciousness, just like the first game...

Overall, the game is not won or lost.

Personal opinion, please criticize and correct me~~
