People can be divided into two categories in life. One type of people lives in a daze, and one day is a monk and hits the clock; One is through their own efforts, I am talking about legitimate efforts, and the other is through painstaking calculations and deliberation. The Irish poor boy Wilton is the latter in the second category. In order to squeeze into the upper class, it can be said that he had good intentions, and in order to keep his status and reputation, he did not hesitate to take risks. His lover and the innocent old lady of the landlord were killed by his gun. Although many acts of injustice will lead to suicide, our director Ai did not let him be brought to justice. This may make you a little confused. In most movies, the perpetrators can be punished by the law in the end, or they will die ugly, but this time this kid is not only not arrested but not dead, but continues to live an enviable high life. Yes, although the law is fair, people can't stop it if they want to have luck. Otherwise, why is the movie called "Match Point"? You can often see this situation in tennis, table tennis, and badminton. When it gets colder, the ball just hits the edge of the net. If the ball passes, you win. If the ball fails, you lose. There is no way, only luck, luck can save people. Don't blame the director for letting the bad guys go unpunished, giving people a misguided sense that there is no retribution for evil, and it does not meet the purpose of punishing the good and promoting the evil. In fact, there are many such examples in life, and it is a fact that there are many cases that cannot be solved. A person like Wilton, who is not bad in nature, has actually been punished. If he is not free, he would rather die. The lack of freedom in his heart will also make him suffer more than death in his life.
A great director is always a great director. To be able to make such an old-fashioned story so thrilling with a very simple lens and very little investment makes people follow the plot in the end, without the feeling of hot leftovers at all. not simple. In addition to the director, the success of this play lies in the performance of the hero Jonathan Rice-Myers, whose brilliance overwhelms everyone, turning a poor boy's deliberate, hypocritical and fickle and inner struggles after murder , performed appropriately. Unscrupulous people, people whose desires fly out of their bodies to engage in extramarital affairs, Wilton's result may be yours.
