An "unexpected" movie

——First of all, it should be stated that this is a movie that is not interesting after the spoiler, because there are so many "bends", it turns so coincidentally. -
the movie is good, the end of that sucks, so many loopholes, the plot but was eventually persuaded. I've seen some of this kind of dragons among people before, "How to Get Away with Law" or something, and I've been a little numb to this kind of god creation. The various systems in America are so perfect that directors repeatedly yawn people outside the rules. However, this movie does have a bit of depth, with highs and lows, and the pacing is well controlled. When you thought he was about to get caught, they escaped like that; when you thought he was guilty of losing money, but Not in that one; when you thought they finally made a fortune and ran home, but it was the same ending; when you thought they were freed from the haze, but faced the end of looting again; when you thought he was just a When the dream was empty, he won and came back... The movie repeatedly uses various ways to make you think that this is the case, but it turns subtly, and you can never guess what is behind until the end.
This movie also taught me a lesson. I had already thought about the "Three Doors" before, but of course I guessed it wrong. It completely confused me, who had studied "Probability Theory". It took me a night to figure it out. I went to take the test of my father specially, and was very proud of it. However, this movie made me see how far there is a gap between learning some things and really understanding some things.
It can be said that the core of this movie is the sentence "Always count the variable change.", the change of variables must always be considered (technically speaking later), and as I said at the beginning of the movie, I don't know how to adapt and die. Mind, at the end of the movie when Corl was about to take advantage of the fire, the anger in my heart made me want to fight with him on behalf of the protagonist, which shows how stubborn I am. Of course, it was also this stubbornness that made me learn so much knowledge. Just like the protagonist at the beginning, he was resistant to all kinds of unfamiliar new things and hated changes. Everything was found in textbooks, so it was smooth sailing. There are no major mistakes in it. However, just like the protagonist, there is always something missing in such a life - experience. At the end of the movie, the protagonist has completed his transformation, and I haven't. Variables, "Three Problems", rushing back at the peak, "I'm only for 300,000", we have learned a lot of these knowledge and life lessons, but knowledge is always knowledge. In life, at that moment, knowledge is If it doesn't work, you will still be wrong at that point, and you will still have various excuses to break the shackles you set yourself: "Yeah, that was what I used to think, but I'm different now, no longer That little hairy boy", how many people use "not forgetting the original intention" to escape reality, and use it to deceive themselves, "that's not what I want". But the most important place this teaching should appear is when you become rich and have everything, tell yourself that you are still an ordinary person in that small town, and don’t forget why you came here in the first place. Of course, this is just some knowledge. Experience cannot be inherited, wealth can, and knowledge can, so wealth and knowledge have always grown since human beings have written records. But experience can only be obtained if you work hard and experience it yourself, and this is also the greatest fairness to everyone. Looking at the end and the beginning of the film, the state of the protagonist when facing the professor, this is the most direct comparison of whether a person has experience.
Next technically, "Always count the variable change". The plot of the movie is also developed through repeated variable changes. It is very different from the settings of many previous movies. Many people in the movie are changed (some movies only make the protagonist fluctuate and change, more In the movie, the protagonists have not changed). First of all, Fisher's long-term accumulation, jealousy, and the betrayal that occurred have made the protagonist, and the previous setting for him was just an unruly person; the protagonist started the story decently, repeatedly claiming that he would stop, and speaking to the professor on both sides , The heroine said it again, but, for a long time, it was corrupted by money, and another character variable caused him to become another person and meet his tragedy; the professor changed his previous calmness and rapid retreat, and entered the game again, he got a halo and a god Tan, so, the ending to welcome him is to be arrested for greed; in the end, the protagonist wakes up and uses his sincerity and mind to find his friends and future. The movie can't help but make people think, this movie is not about what ending for someone, but what kind of ending a person will meet if he changes. This is the unique aspect of this movie, and it is also the reason why the plot behind it can never be guessed.
Let’s talk about a few actors. I was surprised to see that there are several Asian faces in this film, which added some sense of intimacy. The professor’s actor Kevin Spacey is very familiar with him through “House of Cards”. In the movie, his acting skills are a bit like a house of cards, like a political animal, not panicking in chaos, only talking about business. The heroine looked a little old, but later I felt that I was deceived by her various sports and youthful clothes, and later I felt that I really didn't watch it. As for the male protagonist, the close-up view after disguising feels that his eyes are too similar to Harry Potter. I think, this is the aesthetics of mainstream American society? I still prefer the kid version of Harry Potter =.=

    Some of the lenses and camera designs are very good. But the story is poorly told. The principle and operation of Count are also not clear. The characters don't come out well. The CG of the show should be placed in the middle and not just at the beginning.

    Looking at Jim Sturgess, one of the most annoying Hollywood actors of the new generation, and Hayden Christensen, if he has no acting skills, but no connotation, he just looks annoying.
