Some feelings about "From Casino"

After watching "The Irishman" and "The Good Guy" a few days ago, I fell in love with the movies of Lao Ma and Rodney all of a sudden, and "Casino" also came to them. Oh, yes, and the old and spicy Joe Pessi.

This film shows us the real Las Vegas casino ecology map, operating mechanism, management mode, casino rules, punishments for old people, using old people to counteract old people, gambler psychology, and even the internal operation of slot machines Both the probability and the probability are real, and it can be said that it has influenced many later casino-themed movies.

After watching this film, I basically understand a truth, in that era, behind the business is huge manipulation.

The rise of Ace is the trust (just a money-making machine) and use of the mafia bosses behind it, but it is more about manipulation and profit, and the decline of Ace is also the politician's making things difficult and the bosses' neglect.

To find out the reason, I think the most important thing is that Ace married a woman he should not marry the least. Even if his wife does a lot of extraordinary things, she will ex-boyfriend, tie up her daughter, and ask for help from his brother Nizi, but a large part of the reason is with Ace. Personality is also related. I always feel that Ace has a strong desire to control, is suspicious, and has serious machismo. It can be clearly seen from the fact that he spends a lot of money to buy a pager for his wife. Another reason is the relationship with his brother Nizi. If you haven’t dealt with it properly, Nizzi is a stunned boy and a second stunned boy. This may be artificial, not afraid of the law, not afraid of death, bold, even breaking the bottom line of the Mafia’s principles and engaging in a brotherly woman, but Ace From the beginning to the end, he didn't like Nizi, full of complaints, and even thought he was a cumbersome. This also caused the struggle between the two to intensify and eventually collapse.

The infighting and decline of the mafia bosses, Nizi's being buried alive, the rise and fall of gambling groups, and the rapid changes in the casino, everything changes with the passage of time, but in the end Ace is as always, maybe he is the final winner.
