I am sorry for my poor ambition. After watching the movie, I was thinking all night about how I could take away such a large pocket of money. Then I found out that not only the protagonist 13 can't do it, neither can I!
The movie was originally directed at the cosmic hunk Jason Statham. Although Jason is also the number one supporting actor, he played a complete bastard: Not only did he leave his parents to spend the money to treat his brother’s illness, He also pulled his brother out of the hospital to play "Russian Roulette" to make money. In the end, when his brother died, he was ready to take the money back from the protagonist's life... What a shame. If you watched this movie a few years ago, you wouldn't have to watch Jason's movie.
Well, an underground gambling, there is not much drama. However, because of the shallow pockets, we can thoroughly understand the "essence of capitalism." Marx said it was bloody. Actually, not only! The essence of capitalism is desperate, dead, and surely dead!
In the beginning, it was a very simple social security issue. Father, the pillar of the family, had an accident and nearly died. However, the family is a united, active, and progressive family. My mother, sister, younger sister, and the protagonist No. 13 insisted on not giving up, and even sold the house to pay his father for medical expenses. But even so, he still owed sky-high bills. As the son of the family, although he has not yet graduated and has not obtained an electrician license, he has also started doing odd jobs to make money.
Although there is no hope, the family is working hard. He even held a birthday party for her younger sister, even though she couldn't afford the gift she wanted—a little lamb.
When working part-time, on the 13th accidentally "stole" an opportunity to make a fortune. He knew that it would make money, but he didn't know what to do. But for the family, for the father, he can only fight hard. It turned out that it was a bloody gambling of rich people hiding in mansions-Russian roulette. The rule is simple. A group of numbered people hold revolvers, hold the heads of the people in front, form a circle, and then shoot when the signal light comes on. In the first round, each person had one bullet in his gun; in the second round, two bullets; in the third round, three bullets. As the probability increases, the bets and odds of the wealthy off the court are also higher. After three rounds, very few people can survive. Of course, there will be the last round. The surviving people draw lots—two people—holding guns against each other's heads. There are three bullets in the guns, and the same signal lights will fire as soon as they light up. On the 13th, I got the most hated number in the Western world from the beginning (our Chinese "4" is even more powerful), but luckily survived. Moreover, he can get close to two million dollars, just put it in a big pocket. At this point in the story, we can understand, right, capitalism, a paradise for adventurers. As long as you bet your life, anything is possible. Life is to have a good time instead of being muddled. Question, the story is not over yet.
Think about it, is it easy to get out of the casino? After all, the protagonist is a novice, even a teenager who has just left the house. Different from other gamblers. Just like in the film, a guy who was taken out of prison and thrown into the casino, after all, he was a gangster, "courageous and conspiracy". Therefore, he first lured the guy who monitored his competition, saying that as long as he was running with him, he was hiding a lot of stolen money, but they didn't believe it. So he wrote another note, telling the guy that if he died, he would go to the place on the note to withdraw money, and then divide his son half. This is true enough. He did this in the hope that the guards would believe in himself, and then cheat for himself (for example, stuffing a few duds to the guy behind him). Anyway, if he proves that he has survival value, he will have a greater probability of living; Even if he died, he really hoped that the guard would talk about justice and share his son's share of the pie. However, the guards couldn't do it. Instead, they took a fancy to his money, and when he was lucky, they planned to kill him to grab the slip of paper. Fortunately, the people at the casino stopped him, and he also took out a blank paper, threatening to lie to the guards. He turned around and burned a real piece of paper, and then left.
What about the 13th in this dark world? With the money, the person who has been in charge of guarding him has already been eyeing him. And the old man who won more and more money on him actually said to him very kindly: You can take my ride, and I will send you to the nearest train station. When I heard this, I felt at the beginning that the story was finally over. The young man died after nine deaths, and he could finally change his destiny. Then you can go home safely. But No. 13 is smarter than me, because he has been observing the world, just like watching how Jason cheated his brother. He knows that these people who can use their lives as a gambling tool can do anything for money.
Yes, this is the essence of capitalism-everything can be done for money.
Number 13 is very smart. He agreed "happily", and then immediately passed through the basement full of corpses, jumped over the window, ran to the woods outside, and ran all the way with a large bag of money. Fortunately, we arrived at the train station. The problem is that the police are already investigating underground casinos because they are regular customers and it is difficult to start. It is rare to trace the invitation letter from the casino to the "gunman", so it was traced to the 13th. The police quickly surrounded the station through the taxi driver. On the 13th, the money was thrown into the trash can. Then in the police station, he insisted on where he was going but ran out because his identity was exposed. He didn't know the location or what happened there. The young man is much hotter than my piece of ginger. After the police station came out, on the 13th, he dug up the money for his life in the garbage dump. Then he thought of the best and safest doctrine. He went to the post office, got a box, spent 20 yuan, and sent "a large bag, almost 2 million dollars" to his home. Then, call to explain that the mother must wait for the mail at home. Looking back, he was as light as a swallow. He went shopping on the street and bought the little lamb that his sister wanted. The boss said it was not for sale, and he bought it for 100 yuan. Happily took the train home. However, just like seeing people participating in gambling at the train station at the beginning, he met Uncle Jason again. After Uncle Jason greeted him, he shot him a few times and then snatched it away. His bag ran away.
Yes, just because everything is done for the sake of money. Therefore, in the world of capitalism, one can take a risk, but everyone around is watching, even if there is money, it’s just inevitable. Therefore, the essence of capitalism is not bloody, but deadly. 2020-12-15
