"Rough Diamond" 7 points Life is ups and downs, it's really exciting.

—————Spoiler dividing line————

The Safdie brothers use extreme spatial scheduling, untimely plot pushes, and sharp character relationships. To interpret such a story of human nature, a gambling businessman, a marriage on the verge of collapse, several creditors who are chasing after him, a beautiful woman who is standard in film noir, and an NBA star.

At the beginning of the movie, it was not very easy for people to enter, and it always felt that the plot was too sharp. In the scene where Garnett came to return the gem, the door lock was deliberately destroyed. See the director's deliberate arrangement.

And the director of the ending also set up a smoke bomb. In traditional noir films, femme fatale is already a standard, making people think that the mistress will run away with the rich man with the winning money, and let the audience relax Adam Sandler. On one side of the contradiction, the audience always thought that Adam Sandler would reconcile with the creditor. The sudden shot was like a solid punch in the face of the audience, and it also gave people sudden emotional ups and downs, which was very pleasant.

    As netizens said, the male protagonist of a Jewish jeweler who loves to gamble can definitely be ranked among the ranks of suicide in film history. The economic conditions are good. The hotel keeps a junior and runs a jewelry store. I accidentally got an acoustic diamond block from South Africa. When I got it, I was so excited to show it off in the store. Then exchange and borrow the championship ring. The male protagonist contacted the auction house and made a bet at the same time. However, due to the previous debts being charged, the betting on the right game was invalid. He concluded that Garnett would win the auction at the auction, and it would be a mistake to find someone to raise the price and sell it to the other party at a low price in private. .
