1. Title
Gambit is a slightly strange title
Checked the Collins dictionary, two meanings, preemptive opening, opening remarks
1.A gambit is an action or set of actions which you carry out in order to try to gain an advantage in a situation or game.
2.A gambit is a remark which you make to someone in order to start or continue a conversation with them.
For the content of watching movies, perhaps the first explanation is more appropriate. Is it the biggest advantage to have mental arithmetic and unintentional?
Second, the beginning animation
The first brush feels stinky and long, the second brush feels quite interesting.
3. Harry's role setting and the final turning point
When I first brushed it, I felt that the final turning point was a bit special. Some suspected Harry's personality, thinking of another "Very Suspect", so I just brushed it twice.
1. Hypothesis 1: The final turning point is planned in advance, not a temporary intention
(1) The transaction with the Japanese should be negotiated before the Japanese came to London. The Japanese have two tasks, one open and one dark, to discuss business openly, and the other one is for this painting, and the boss hides behind the scenes.
It was the first time PJ met a Japanese. They talked in Japanese, pretending to be crazy and stupid almost every time it worked, it should barely be regarded as a hint. In fact, this kind of comparison is really surprising. I thought it was ugly, but in the end it expressed a kind of jealousy about the Japanese pretending to be pigs and tigers.
(2) The time to copy an oil painting will not be short.
(3) When Harry and Major left, they asked if they want to upgrade the PJ cabin. Major asked "howwillyouexplainit". Their plan was actually kept secret from PJ. The Harry in PJ's mind was different from the actual Harry (probably a professional scammer or about to embark on the path of a professional scammer).
Hypothesis 2: Harry has courage, vision, and ability.
(1) Assumption 1 is basically verifiable, so in general there should be three plans.
PlanA: Exchange one real and sell one fake, get two shares.
PlanB: Sell a fake, get a share of money.
PlanC: Change one real, get a share of money.
The original plan was PlanA, and they asked PJ to join her and told her that it was PlanB, but in the end, because of Harry, plan C was finally implemented. To be able to make such a plan, and to hide it from the peripheral members quite well, Harry has the talent and ability.
(2) In fact, it is the major who has the ability to counterfeit in the two-person team, mastering the core technology. But from Harry's relationship with Major, Harry always dominates. It shows that Harry is the more capable and able to contribute in the team.
(3) Major had doubts when pulling PJ into the partnership. But Harry grasped the point at once, PJ's living condition was very bad. He can investigate a family from a painting, investigate the target's living conditions and find the entry point all at once, which shows his ability and vision.
(4) I showed a revolutionary face in front of PJ. I am a gentleman as a witness. I disdain to do illegal and immoral behaviors, including sending paintings at the end, upgrading the cabin, and preparing to go to the third company of Texas. I am really good at teasing and teasing. Very good at teasing.
(5) 36'50", Shabandar's evaluation of Harry, a little shifty, a little weak, afraid to look at his eyes. Although not very convincing, Harry seems to be a little different in the eyes of this tycoon?
Hypothesis 3: Harry wanted to get revenge on his boss, but was clumsy. The last turning point is just a flash of light.
(1) Related to major
03'15"major narration, brave&foolish
Next to 16'00" major, optimist
20'04'' See the major in the rain, two fallen men
41'35''major studio, showing complaints, depression, and cynicism
(2) Harry's YY to the plan
Including demonizing the boss, beautifying yourself, YY results, etc.
(3) Clumsy conversation, clumsy hands
PJ in the bar
The first time I saw my boss, I couldn’t grasp the main point, and introduced the topic bluntly.
After being boxed, I saw the boss for the second time, trying to lead the conversation
Hotel front desk, make an awkward conversation
Argument with PJ, boxed by neighbor
Spread false news to Weber, but in fact, as long as Weber checks the check or asks questions, it can be easily resolved. This is why Weber came out to introduce the two-year salary advance.
Did not detect the security system beforehand, and was finally saved by PJ
(4) The plot of holding the vase
This contains a lot of laughs
So, what kind of person is Harry? I think Hypothesis 3 is untenable, especially (3). When getting along with the boss or PJ, he needs to disguise. (1) (2) It can barely be said that the movie was done to deceive the audience in order to keep the suspense. But (4) this episode is very abrupt, not helpful to the main line, and it conflicts with Harry's image.
In addition, the idea of putting the two paintings together on display was proposed by PJ. I don't know what Harry originally planned. Also, when it comes to proving fake paintings, it's too fake. Wipe out a mouth as soon as I wipe it. Before I wipe it, I know there will be a portrait of a woman. In order to prove the fake paintings simply and concisely, eh~
Four, about values
If I remove the ending, I might agree with the values of the movie more. A person who thinks he is capable is jealous, angry, and ugly of successful people, but he can't see his own shortcomings. PJ’s chicken soup can also be drunk. Sometimes you need a bit of Ah Q's spirit. In addition, do what you can do well.
