The film is adapted from a novel by the Russian writer Dostoevsky. The writer was betrayed to death by the Tsar when he was young, and was pardoned only a minute before he was sentenced. This made his nerves seriously stimulated. He wanted to obtain money from gambling. With economic and spiritual relief, he spent the whole day in the casino, betting for 10 years, until he lost a big loss, was his wife persuaded the prodigal son to turn back and eventually became a great writer. The writer’s real experience is completely a film, but the film adaptation did not join the author’s final success tail, even the subtitles are very powerful.
Pathological gamblers are like drug addiction, it is difficult to quit. In the last crazy run, I actually thought of Huang Bo in "Crazy Stone".
