Recalling the financial crisis,


a reflection on personal values and the American dream of
business Films in the context of the financial crisis, which has become the focus of attention the past two years the major film companies, where many of them focused on the war and intrigue of the film, or from The work shows the real life of the blue-collar unemployed people from the side. Compared with these works, "Partner" appears to be more individual. On the one hand, it is very close to the commercial focus. The unemployed in the film are all successful people with a certain identity and career in the past; on the other hand, it is closely related to business The dispute itself keeps a distance. What we see more is the choice and destiny of each individual under the turmoil of the financial crisis. As Wells himself said, the role played by Ben Affleck is just a sample of the traditionally defined American dream. He came from the working class, but through education and hard work, he became the backbone of a promising company, but all of this It may suddenly turn abruptly. This brings the film's reflection on the American dream and the company system behind it, and also brings the individual's choices regarding their own interests and the situation of others in the crisis, and the impermanence and moral frustration of the individual's destiny may also be for the audience. Triggered by a personal reflection.

In the financial crisis, the battle between you and me in business has become more serious, and among them, Geely, a partner of the company Bobby once worked for, tried to abide by his own business principles. In this era of turbulent economic depression, their perseverance and transformation are a huge test for individuals, and at the same time they also began to re-examine their own values.
In 2010, when it comes to movies that reflect the politics and business insider of American companies, what most people are looking forward to is "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps." At the same time, the American gold medal television producer John Wells has summoned two powerful veterans, Kevin Costner and Tommy Lee Jones, as well as Ben Affleck, who has been brave recently. The "Partner", which shows the unemployment situation of American corporate people under the background of the financial crisis, is his first feature film in the film industry.

If we talk about you and me who are closer to the real society, this film is better than those "blockbuster films" of financial crisis
