Gamblers have to gamble every time

As a movie audience, I think that if a movie has the desire to say what you think about it after watching it, the movie is considered a good movie. Uncut Diamond is exactly that kind of movie. Even though my viewing experience was not that good. Yesterday, I watched "Rough Diamond", which was highly recommended by the major film critics of the previous year. Two hours, noisy and noisy, made me very tired. The incongruity of the soundtrack at the beginning increases the unease of the viewers. It can be said that the entire viewing experience is unease. Everyone said that the protagonist Sandler played well, but when I was watching the movie, I didn't have the energy to pay attention to his acting skills, and I kept complaining in my heart. This movie tells how crazy gambling addicts are. The protagonist is betting every time he chooses. He wants to bet back his previous losses, but he loses every time. In the end, win money and lose yourself. Since I don't like gambling, I can't get into it at all. But watching the last half hour does make people follow the plot. A sultry and emotional audience like me prefers quieter movies. "Uncut Diamond" is not for me, but it is also a fresh viewing experience.

    4.1 points. The old horse's New York successor has been found, and the restlessness of "Goodfellas", "Gangs of New York" and "Wolf of Wall Street" is doubled, but compared to these films, the Safdie brothers go a step further, they don't Seek an epic presentation of the nooks and crannies of society, and focus more on the anxiety and restlessness of New Yorkers. If the old horse is a sociologist, the Safdie brothers are psychologists. In addition to the second act, the part where Sandler gets along with his family is a bit clichéd. In other parts, the sense of oppression and panic that makes the bullet hit the glasses is always there and cannot be eliminated. The final result is very surprising. Sandler neither loses nor wins, but wins and then dies. What could be more black than a cardiac arrest after bliss?

    [A] To be honest, this film didn't give me the feeling of being as light and agile as "Good Times" most of the time, abandoning the simple and direct underlying single-line narrative of the previous work, this "Rough Diamond" uses Howard's trapped beasts. The Fight presents a dazzling upper-middle-class world, as manic and psychedelic as ever, but a little bit of style is lost in extreme balance, which Adam Sandler makes up for with his obsessive performance. A single shot has no "personality", but when it is spliced ​​together, it can burst out infinite charm in triviality and chaos, especially the scheduling of group play dialogues, which is terrifying. The ending is even more shocking. Not to mention the power of its own play, it is not just "sublimation of the whole film", but through the infinite desire to combine all the previous content and give it a higher value, In the face of the hypocrisy and prosperity of Hollywood, this rough diamond shows the universe between inside and outside the screen.
