The protagonist, Ben, is an excellent student, even a bright student. He studied at MIT and was admitted to Harvard Medical School, but he needed $300,000 to attend Harvard Medical School. He also participated in the A 2.09 competition, this competition is a design robot competition, this is a competition for him to prove his ability and talent, he and his roommate have been preparing for this competition for more than a year. The beginning of the film is that he is applying for a scholarship, but when the examiner asks you what life experience has made our eyes shine, Ben can't say anything. He is indeed very good, but there are also many excellent people. , other people also have his halo. At this moment, I realized that everyone's family background can change a person's life. If he had a good family background, he wouldn't need to worry about the 300,000 living expenses. He also Don't find yourself without a life experience to be proud of when you apply for a scholarship. His life is very hard, it can even be said to be hard. Friends commented on his life, school, home, and 2.09 games. He is a very hard-working and smart person, but he is still worried about his livelihood. This may be the difference between people.

An accidental speech in class made the professor notice him. He invited him to join his team and make a lot of money together. Ben refused, but because he couldn't afford the tuition, Ben joined the card counting team. , There is a girl he likes, Ji Qiu, in this team.

He started playing in high-end clubs, and I can also feel that he seems to have changed. He used to say that he would stop when he made 300,000, but gradually he began to like that kind of life, feasting and feasting, He began to live a different life, and he gained some different feelings, such as money, beauty, high-end hotels, respect from others, but at the same time, the study he insisted on before has been completely replaced by card counting.

Later, people in the club noticed him, and he was warned not to come again. During a game of cards, he also got into a stalemate with Professor Xiao Qi, and his life took a big turning point. Because he went to the club every weekend, he did not go to the club. In class, he was told that he could not graduate, and at the same time, the money he had saved for Harvard was also stolen. He has nothing now, and the days when he was the best man in the past are gone. Seeing this, I can't help thinking, in the end What caused him to do this? It is his growing desire, he has become greedy, he began to want more, but when people gain something, they also lose something. He became a card-counting machine, becoming more and more impersonal. He pursued too many things and wanted too many things. At this time, I realized that people’s desires are terrible. People need to control themselves and not be confused by the outside world. Otherwise, they will fall into the abyss. People may succumb to some things under the weight of life, but at the same time, we must learn to control yourself, and realize whether or not what you have done has crossed the moral line.

When the examiner asks him again about his life experience, he can proudly tell the examiner about his experience this time, yes, he has experienced so many things, but in the end he still did not lose his nature, so he still got his own want.

The biggest insight is that people must learn to try some different lives and gain their own life experience from them, but in the process, they must learn to reflect on themselves, not to lose themselves, and to be clear about their life plans and goals in life. , I have always felt that life is colorful, but our vision is too narrow, we do not see the colorful side of life, we must learn to broaden our life experience and vision, so that we will come into contact with a more complete world.
