The life of a gambler can be glimpsed in the gambling game. Ace is a "guaranteed winner". Nicky said, "he bets like a fuckin' brain surgeon." Before placing a bet, he must examine and control all the factors that affect the game. Bet, then win. This is his logic: control, give, and reward. The logic of his life is the same: he desires complete control over his career and family. He runs the casino meticulously and meticulously monitors his wife. He is obsessed with rules and order. Investment and return are the most basic rules. He is proud to run the casino decently and enjoy the wealth and glory that comes with it. The same is true for love and family. When he first proposed, Ginger bluntly said that she didn't love him. But he still insisted, believing that as long as he gave enough trust and love, he could change her. And this is not so much trust in her as it is a superstition of the rule of return on investment. What he didn't expect was that there is no buffer zone when there is no love in marriage.
For Nicky, the Italian gangster, violence is the highest truth. He is the worst gambler I can imagine: if you win, you collect money; if you lose, you grab money. For him, the casino is nothing more than a tool for collecting money, but it is obviously not as good as violence. And he is not too lazy to bird Ace's rules and principles. What he cares about is money, power, and the means to obtain them-violence. This kind of violence was surprisingly primitive and barbaric, and eventually destroyed their business. In modern society, this is really not a scientific method of running a gang gambling business. If something blocked his way, he would swear, and then—kill them, regardless of whether he was a veteran or his boss. At first, he wanted to do business with Ace. But Ace obviously didn't want to mix with him. So, despite some hesitation, he started to think about pointing the gun at his former brother...
At first, when Ginger caused Ace to be overwhelmed by the sight, she and a customer were gambling with joy and secretly stealing chips from him. This is her profession and her way of life-to squeeze out these big guys, and then take the money home to her boyfriend Lester. For her, Ace is just another big boss who can lick her, and marrying him is just a long-term relationship. She has always maintained love and loyalty to Lester. She didn't want to and couldn't change for Ace, because she didn't love him at all. So when Ace beat Lester, she started to hate him and struggled to get out of the relationship. So after a series of seemingly endless quarrels, cheating, revenge and betrayal, their marriage finally collapsed. She naively thought that Ace would really keep her promise and allowed her to take away the two million in the divorce. She didn't understand that the money was a symbol of trust for Ace, and when she destroyed this trust, the promise was naturally invalid.
All these conflicts in character and belief will inevitably lead to the end of the tragedy. Some people think that when thinking about places like Las Vegas where money is piled up, the relationship between people will be particularly fragile, and it will show more and more people's greed and cruelty. However, the relationship between people is always fragile, always. This is not a question of whether human nature is dark or not. It is just that everyone is a slave of their own thinking. God knows how easy it is to misunderstand and lose trust between people.
