The Ethiopian scene at first made me think it would be a serious drama like Blood Diamond, but it turned out to be a satirical drama. If there is one word to describe this movie, it is "a bloody case caused by a worthless stone". If there is one sentence to describe the protagonist of the movie, it is "Your great sorrow and joy are all self-inflicted". Let's take a look at the protagonist of the film first, and in the process, the story of the film is presented. The protagonist is Howard, a diamond shop owner played by Adam Sandler. If you just look at his exaggerated appearance, you will think that he is a nouveau riche, or a character who can mix black and white. But it's actually a gambler, someone who seems to have everything under his control, but nothing. This Howard went to bet on football as soon as he had money. He often used this and that to mortgage the pawnshop, but often he lost all of it and couldn't redeem the mortgage.
Howard's life changed when he bought a rough Ethiopian diamond. Because of this rough diamond, he had an intersection with NBA star Garnett, and exchanged this stone for Garnett's championship ring. Then use the money pledged by the ring to bet on the ball. This time Howard hits the ball, but the money for the bet was taken from the banker by the creditor, so it was empty. Then he wanted to take advantage of Garnett's liking for the stone and wanted to sell it at a high price at the auction, but he was told by the auction agency that the stone was worthless before the auction. So he colluded with his father-in-law to raise the price, but Garnett really didn't buy it. The father-in-law took a picture of the stone, and he really laughed to death when he saw it. As soon as the auction ended, Howard wanted to sell him at Garnett's bid, and Garnett eventually bought it. Just when Howard and Garnett were talking about the business, the debt collector came to the door. Howard asked the little lover to take the money away from the window and bet on the ball. This time Howard bought it again, but after the little lover got the money, Howard He was shot to death by a debt collector - "Rough Diamond"
