I didn't want to write a review of this movie, but I read the reviews on the first page, and they all went astray, some said about entrepreneurship, some about feelings, some said about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice... If all the film reviews are like this , I think I can claim to be the one who understands finance the most among the people who watch movies, and the one who understands the movie the most among the people in finance (smiling face). Check out my other reviews for yourself.
The director and screenwriter of the film, Kim Nguyen, a Vietnamese-Canadian, is clearly a newcomer, and the film is also clearly an immature work.
This thing has a story prototype. The prototype is a Canadian. So I understand that the Canadian director must feel like a treasure when he sees this material, and he wants to shoot it immediately. But definitely not authorized. Because a movie needs a complete story, with ups and downs and climaxes. So the director took the collected stories of multiple characters, and then cut them into it according to his own technical blind concept and perspective. So, it smashed. Where did it hit?
1. The story is not good . This story is a piece of clipping from multiple stories and rumors, which will be described below. The director and screenwriter's skill is obviously not enough. This story is very ugly, the plot is not smooth, the climax is not climax, it is very ordinary. And the movie, you have to look good, everyone likes to watch it.
2. The financial part misses the point. The financial part is about the arms race in the trading market, the arms race in weapons of mass destruction. What is it like in the film? fooling around.
3. The technical part is also a mess. slightly.
4. Performance is restricted. In fact, the actors are all good actors, and their acting skills are superb. The male protagonist, the second male lead, and the villain can all perform much better than they can now. However, it was obviously limited by the director's request. For example, the reason why Anton, the second male technical housekeeper, is not because of the pressure from the first male and the villain, or because of various unpleasant things, but because he cannot concentrate on technology. This is too much nonsense, it is completely the director's incomprehension of the technical house. Therefore, these settings and plots make the characters thin and one-sided, and even talented actors cannot play.
5. The director is ambitious, and also wants to make a film that is well-received and well-received like "The Big Short". Many small parts in the film have been done with great care, for example, the hero Vincent (played by Jesse Eisenberg) is a metaphor for fiber optic mining when he inserts a gastroscope. However, the small intentions cannot cover up the big mistakes. Throughout the whole film, in order to extract a moral high ground, the director discriminates against the evolution of technology, which is obviously a technically blind thinking angle, and it is particularly naive to forcibly elevate the theme. In the film, the director praises the down-to-earth Amish people who advocate the primitive and reject technology, and the farmers who grow the coffee beans are the real stakeholders. This...is metaphysics.
Going back, let's take a look at the prototype of the story. Vincent was abstracted from a team of more than 20 people, led by a Canadian, and Anton was also abstracted from a technical team of more than 10 people. The heroine of the opposite side is actually a practitioner who abstracts the hundreds of competitors in the market. Vincent and Anton's team used to live very well, doing transactions in a big bank and earning a lot of money. Then there are all kinds of people in the industry who are trying to get a competitive advantage. For example, someone digs fiber, and there are man-made microwave towers. Yes, not Vincent did it, someone else did it. People who dig optical fibers and build microwave towers want to rent at high prices to make money, and they don't want to find VCs. Vincent came up with a way to let the trading parties in the market trade at the same time, thus negating the advantages of fiber optic and microwave towers. Yes, it's not that they dig fiber, it's that they abolish the advantages of other people's fiber. So they decided to leave the original big bank and open an exchange by themselves to realize their ideal of one world harmony.
You said that the ideal of great harmony in this world has become the entanglement of this petty family in the director's hands? How did the Amish people who advocate primitive and reject technology bring insights to the protagonist?
Therefore, readers, if you think about the difficulty of starting a business, the direction of the right direction, and the feelings of feelings on this broken story, it is a waste of time.
To sum up, the director is a novice, loses focus in the overall situation, and is too deliberate in small things. Forcibly denying technical development in order to sublimate the theme, it suddenly shows the lack of screenwriting skills.
One more thing to add: the big banks were also very kind to them who left, and they didn't send a witch to hunt them down. Goldman Sachs is chasing former employees. The one being hunted was a Russian. Russian features were adapted to Anton. Anton also did not launch an attack on Goldman Sachs in prison, but wrote code on white paper in prison...
The director and screenwriter messed up.
