This is a movie where you can see Michelle Williams’s brilliant acting even if you play at 2x, 3x, or 5x fast forward.
It is said that Mark Wahlberg is paid 1,500 times as much for this film. incredible. In the past two years, Wahlberg played the riffraff ("Transformers") as the policeman ("Terror Attack on Boston") as the manager ("Deep Sea Catastrophe"), including this time the former CIA... He has the same appearance in everything, right? That is, the difference between wearing a trash picking suit or an elite suit. Almost 50 years old and still looks like this is really an evergreen idol.
Michelle Williams himself was out of luck. Oscar nominated her for "Brokeback Mountain", nominated the female lead for "Blue Valentine's Day", nominated the female lead for "A Week Between Me and Monroe", and nominated the female lead for "Manchester by the Sea", but unfortunately there was no trophy. Send it to your hand. Taking into account that she is not very productive, she has a very high selection rate in 4 of 12 years.
After "Manchester by the Sea", a new batch of fans of the "Originally Heath Ledger ex-girlfriend is so amazing now" has been added in China. The popularity is also very high around the world. Please give Williams a salary increase next year.

On the afternoon of the premiere day in the Mainland, I wanted to watch this movie. I was looking for a row in the 4 theaters near my home, and there was no row in one of them.
During the Lantern Festival, people are forced to travel far by car.
Check carefully, and today there are only 121 theaters in the city showing 252 "Money World". Am I not living in a ravine?
Compared with "Operation Red Sea", which has been in theaters for two weeks, there are 2,577 screenings, which is ten times that. Should I laugh at this moment?
After checking, the total box office of the film is 25 million US dollars. However, the reservation cost is 40 million. After kicking Kevin Spacey, it cost another 10 million to make up the film. It must be impossible to get back.
Distressed Ridley Scott.

Ridley Scott is over eighty years old. Would it be easy for us to shoot "Alien: Contract" within a year and to adapt the theme to reality.
Don’t just stare at his sci-fi horror. For a while, say "Blade Runner" is a monument to the movie history, and then you say "Alien" classics are irreplaceable; when "The Martian" sold for nearly 600 million, they knelt and licked the masters and turned their heads. When people change the subject, they turn their faces and don't recognize people.
The representative characteristic of others is obviously "variable styles and wide range of subjects", okay? Those who only focus on one type of film don’t like movies, they just like sensory stimulation.
But to put it plainly, what sensory stimulation is there? It is more exciting than piercing the power center of the world's richest man, seeing him rising from a tall building and seeing his building collapse?
4.
One detail of the film that touched me most: the old man in the film compares himself with "Hadrian".
Hadrian, one of the five sages of ancient Rome, was another emperor who built the Great Wall besides Qin Shihuang. In an era when the gods are gone, Christ has not appeared, and only man is alone, Hadrian built a city in the place where Antinous was drowned to commemorate the beautiful boy who died of youth, Antinous.
How affectionate and majestic, can it be summed up by the simple word "greedy".
His demeanor and gentleness, his selfishness and cruelty. He is a self-contained world of money, and everything runs according to his logic.
The title is all the money in the world, "all the money in this world". The second half of this sentence is: all in his hands.
In the film, Charlie Plummer, who plays his grandson Getty III, is also a classic and slutty blond boy who swaggers through the market in a white suit with small flowers, and is the living Antinous.
However, this time Hadrian wanted to let the beautiful boy die.

Going deeper: In fact, my expectations of Scottrade will exceed the current drama that "the world's richest grandson is kidnapped but depends on the poor daughter-in-law to deal with it on his own."
Although the film has been through the storm. But I would also like him to say more. For example, he never hesitated to talk about philosophy.
To borrow the words of my idol film critic Fen Zhilou, behind this film there is actually an ultimate philosophical question that only the ultimate wealthy family can posterize:
"Is there any valuable value that can be exchanged?"
——This is more meaningful than re-shooting or giving up, box office or winning, reflecting or revealing secrets.
This is a topic that can only be discussed if and only when top artists touch top wealth.
It's a pity that Director Scott saw that the answer slipped, but he didn't ask.
And the protagonist of this true story, the real rich man Paul Getty, only concludes with practical actions and his long family history.
6.
At least half of my neighbors are feeling "I kind of want to see Kevin Spacey's version".
But my personal prejudice is that Spacy, who is 22 years old by makeup, may not have a better understanding of the 80-year-old than Mr. Plummer.
To use last year's buzzword: Spacey is too greasy and too coppery.
Apart from Oliver Stone, no one can fit this role better than Christopher Plummer. Although I definitely don't want to know this kind of person in reality, there is no denying that he is very attractive.
The film review section fell to the ground with feeling that the old man was stingy, and this type of judge was too simple and rude. How can there be such a duality in the world? How to save the unsuccessful grandson is always more interesting from a multi-point dialectical perspective.
In addition to the rough evaluation templates of good and evil, generosity is good, stingy is bad, which zodiac sign you are, there are more complex and subtle confrontations, more esoteric and sophisticated scheduling, and more subtle and unpredictable thoughts in the movie. , And the sincere power to break through all these complexities.
So fans who have not yet watched the film, for the film "The World of Money", might as well watch an elegant old devil and a diamond-like sparkling woman only with a taste of beauty. Gao, the stubborn golden oil idol everywhere, is also very interesting.
