Since everyone is willing to gamble, then as a film and television work, they will definitely rush to it, especially Hong Kong movies whose primary purpose is to make money. Over the years, there have been countless gambling films on the screen, and many creators who have filmed gambling films. Gamblers who are addicted to gambling have been portrayed as positive images, and shameful cheating has become ingenious and elegant in their hands. The dazzling stunts, they have even become idols worshipped by people. In addition to the gods of gamblers, the saints of gamblers, there are all kinds of gamblers, tyrants, boats, etc. on the screen. To sum up, it can be seen as a process of gambling gods - gambling saints - gambling heroes - random gambling.
Beginning with "God of Gamblers", Hong Kong films began to truly deify "gambling". Gamblers who are addicted to gambling are portrayed as positive images, and shameful cheating is turned into ingenious and elegant dazzling stunts in their hands. The second person thought, and in this film, Chow Yun-fat's comedy performance is also a highlight. After amnesia, the childlike innocence and innocence are diametrically opposed to the king of gambling gods, but they complement each other, which is really wonderful.
Beginning with Zhou Xingxing's performance as a gambling saint, the "God of Gamblers" series broke away from the nest of drama films and turned into a completely alternative movie. The individual performance of Zhou Xingchi, the king of nonsense comedy, made the "God of Gamblers" series a watershed. The father and the elder brother are two completely different ways. Any drama with a star boy must be brilliant and unique, and the audience will be delighted.
After the God of Gamblers achieved good box office results, Wang Jing immediately broadcast the "Gambler" series. In addition to inheriting the "God of Gamblers (Chow Yun-fat)" and the funny "Sage of Gamblers (Chow Xingchi)", the protagonist also joined Andy Lau's "Gambler" role , The final gaming table battle of the film is also a show of supernatural power, one is wonderful and funny, the other is handsome and genuine, which can be described as the supreme duo in the gambling world.
After 2000, when the development of gambling films went through three brilliant stages, there was also a problem of lack of subject matter. All the actors that were supposed to be acted, and the various heights of this type of films were reached, and they could be shot again. what? The most important thing is that the theme is gone, and there are gods, saints, and heroes. Is it impossible to play ghosts? But gamblers are hard to listen to and not very attractive, so we saw that the later gambling films basically belonged to "random gambling". Such as "Chinese Gambler", "Sparrow Saint" and so on.
Although watching gambling films belongs to leisure and entertainment, gambling films can still lead us to think about the phenomenon of gambling and the mentality of gambling. Gambling is the best way to see a person's character, what kind of person you are, strangers may not feel it in a few ordinary contacts, but if you play a few laps of mahjong, some characters will make people feel clearly arrive. In the face of the most direct gain and loss, you must make your own choice. Even if you don't choose, "not choosing" itself is an attitude, and you have to suffer the consequences. Since you are in the game, you must bet on it. Gambling seems to depend on luck, but in fact, you can see the overall quality. After a few games, from IQ to being a person, it is clear at a glance. A true master must rely on wisdom and courage to survive in this field.
From this point of view, gambling can actually be understood as a way of life. As ordinary people, playing mahjong and fighting landlords online; having spare money to buy a lottery ticket is basically gambling. Some people like to gamble and bet a lot; some people are more cautious and take every step of the way. The former has great risks and great opportunities. It is very hard to lose, but also happy to win. The latter comes slowly, and the harvest is not necessarily small, and it may be achieved in the end if it accumulates slowly. The key to this is to look at your mentality. There is a saying that "a gamble in life, no one is really cool, winning or losing is unbearable." It is true that who can not be moved in the face of winning or losing, but the gambling game is like a circular field, it is difficult to get out after entering, and if you want to enter, no one has never made money, otherwise there is no reason to stay in the game. But as long as it is still on the field, the money earned will be invested, and the result will become unknown again. The so-called pocket is safe, and it is also staged. If you drop your pocket today, you have to take it out tomorrow. Until the final checkout, no one can easily say who wins or loses.
Therefore, I am most afraid of the person who wants to win and is afraid of losing. This kind of person is the most common in gambling films. When he sees the excitement in the game, he can’t help but feel flustered and wants to win it. They were all sweating. It would be fine if he didn't participate, but after sweating, he thought he had seen the way, and suddenly a leopard gall was grown, and it was plunged into the water without even showing a tuft of hair. Most of the results are not good. If he loses, others will have nowhere to save him. If he wins, in this state, unlike Fan Jinzhong's move, it's strange to be half crazy.
Therefore, extending from the phenomenon of gambling, life is also full of choices, and no one has to face various wins and losses. Winning or losing in life is not determined by a moment of honor or disgrace. Winning today does not mean winning forever; losing today is just not winning yet. At any time, an indifferent and persistent mentality is the most important quality. Perseverance to the end is victory!
