In the "Animal World" trailer, I saw Li Yifeng starring. When Douglas appeared the next second, I was almost in shock.
I can't help but sigh that there are quite a few commercial films now.
Coincidentally, my mother took me to the cinema today and said that I wanted to watch "Animal World", and I almost walked out of the cinema in surprise.
This is a story adventure film adapted from the manga "Gambling Apocalypse" created by Japanese cartoonist Nobuyuki Fukumoto and remade from the 2009 Japanese film of the same name, and unexpectedly, the remake was very successful.
And his visual effects team is Weta Studio of "Avatar", "Reunion" and Hollywood special effects company RSP.
It's really neat.
The following movie reviews may contain spoilers, students who feel "disturbed" can come back after watching the movie
"The battle that should be fought, I have already fought, the road that should be run has come to an end, and the way I should guard is guarded by myself."
The male protagonist Zheng Kaisi (played by Li Yifeng) was severely traumatized by family changes when he was a child. Once his emotions are excited, he will imagine the people around him as monsters, and he is a clown who eliminates violence, punishes evil, and promotes good. Therefore, he often says I have a "sick mind".
In order to take care of his mother who turned into a vegetative state, Zheng Kaisi lost all his money, and therefore did not have the courage to pursue his favorite childhood sweetheart Liu Qing (Zhou Dongyu / ornaments).
At this time, Xiao Li Jun said that he needed his house as a guarantee to invest in real estate, and he could make a lot of money. At the invitation of Anderson (Michael Douglas / ornaments), he boarded a cruise ship and participated in a gambling game. If he can get out of his life, he can pay off all his debts.
"3 stars, 0 cards, survival or die."
Without further ado, let's go directly to the rules of the game:
Participants in this game are dealt 12 cards in their hands, a group of 3 rock-paper-scissors, a total of 4 groups, buckle three stars on their arms, win a game and take a star from the opponent's sleeve, lose a game If you lose a star, Samsung will be eliminated immediately .
This is a game without any moral rules (you can make money, you can cheat, and you can do anything except that the card can't be flushed down the toilet). The winning conditions are simple: the game lasts for 4 hours, and when the time is up, you can hold it in your hand. Those with 3 stars and 0 cards can get off the ship alive.
During this period, you can borrow money from the ship's bank to buy and sell stars and cards from other players, but the interest rolls over by the minute.
This is a game that even my mother can understand, but it is also the most exciting and most revealing part of the film.
At the beginning of the game, a little saucy man in a red suit threw out an olive branch: We all have four sets of the same cards in our hands, as long as you arrange the order of the cards with me, play the same cards, and destroy all the cards in your hand. cards, we can safely disembark and pay off our debts with 3 stars and 0 cards.
The casino Xiaobai Zheng Kaisi was happy when he heard it, and he dared to be good and win-win, so he agreed. Is this how they play??
The first 9 cards Zheng Kaisi and the red-clothed Xiao Sao Nan abide by the agreement and play 3 sets of scissors-paper-rock cards together. Zheng Kaisi is very happy and feels that he can fully believe that when Xiaohong plays the scissors again (step A) , Xiaohong hit a stone, and Xiaosi lost a star.
At this time, Xiaohong showed annoyance, pulled Xiaosi aside and apologized repeatedly, saying that she had arranged the last few cards in the wrong order, and the next time she produced scissors, it was enough to deliberately lose to Xiaosi.
Unexpectedly, Xiaohong, an old fox, made a fool of himself when he showed the trump card of the scissors to Xiao Si, and covered a piece of cloth. Xiao Si, who was new to the casino, chose to trust him and played a stone (step B), and so on. Come on, Xiaosi lost two games in a row, with only one star and one cloth card left on his body, he can't take another wrong step.
(Because it is arranged according to memory, the card color may be slightly different, please forgive me if there is any mistake.)
This is the first aspect of bestiality: greed and deceit.
This reminds me of a game a friend once recommended: The Evolution of Trust.
In this game, both parties can choose to cooperate and invest one gold coin in the camera obscura, and the other party can harvest three gold coins and make a net profit of one. You can also choose to cheat, and the other party will lose one gold coin, and you will gain three net profits.
It is also possible that both parties choose to deceive. There are five different types of people in the game, and exchanging gold coins with each one will get different results.
And according to the algorithm of game system game theory and probability theory, the last one with the strongest survivability in society is——
It's a repeater . Surprisingly, I recalculated the game between Zheng Kaisi and the man in red with the thinking of a repeater, and came to the conclusion that if Zheng Kaisi played cards with the thinking of a repeater, he could play in this game. Get out safely!
That is to say, after Xiaosi found out that Xiaohong lied to him in step A, he chose not to trust Xiaohong anymore, but Xiaohong dropped the rock, and told Xiaosi that he would produce scissors. From this, step B can be calculated. Middle and Xiaohong will give out the cloth. At this moment, Xiaosi's scissors have been released, so he cannot win Xiaohong. He can only give out a cloth to get a draw. Win Xiaohong's scissors.
But this is based on a twist of trust. If Xiaohong is really a trustworthy person and just accidentally messes up the order of the cards, the repeater's playing method will make Xiaosi lose everything. In a world full of animals that prey on the weak, humanity can survive.
At the end of the road, Zheng Kaisi met Liu Jun, who had lost a gambling debt in Macau, and Meng Guoxiang, a fat man who also had only one star left. The three depended on each other and formed a team to survive, but this also meant that the three of them Gotta get another 6 stars.
During the period, there were many interesting games, such as guessing that a fat foreigner with 9 cards was a player with a balanced probability, so he lured him to bet three games in a row with himself, and he played the same three cards, similar to Tian Ji Horse racing speculation.
For example, when the three of them figured out that the fewest cards left were scissors, they started to take out loans to buy cloth cards, but what they didn't expect was that other people started to stock up on rock cards.
For example, when there are not many people left, everyone starts to play the cards.
For example, when there was a chance for redemption in the end, Zheng Kaisi's two partners both chose to protect themselves in the face of money and gave up redemption. etc.
A huge casino also reflects all kinds of life.
1. Zheng Kaisi, who has been deceived many times, finally chose to make an alliance with the Chinese, and the foolish foreigner who keeps his promises is only the object of his single transaction.
2. The intention of the clown is not to be "sick". It is precisely Zheng Kaisi who is the human being who is not sick and has pure humanity - compassion and justice, while those who are selfish and greedy are all animals.
3. The Story of the Scottish Black Goat:
One day in the 1970s, three British scientists, William, Muhint and Hedi, went from London to Scotland to attend a scientific research conference. Shortly after crossing the British border, they found a black goat.
"It's really interesting," said astronomer William. "Goats in Scotland are black."
"Mr William, it is unreliable for you to make such an inference without extensive arguments," the physicist Mushint said to William, "as to the question of the black goat in Scotland, we can now only conclude that in this place in Scotland, , some goats are black, but not all."
The logician Hedi immediately went on to say: "Mr. Musint, the conclusion you said is not rigorous, the conclusion we are really sure about at this time is only that in this area of Scotland, there is at least one place living in At least one black goat."
4. Some people say that Zhou Dongyu's love scene and the ending of Zheng Kaisi's redemption of the old man who was saving his son's medical expenses were deliberately sensational. I don't think so, because emotions are also part of the purity of human nature.

The previous draft... let it go
1. The image of the clown
"The battle that should be fought, I have already fought, the road that should be run has come to an end, and the way I should guard is guarded by myself."
When he first appeared, he felt very similar to Spider-Man. Even if he redeemed the old man in the end, he felt that it was a symbol of justice. In the face of human nature, deceit, greed, and all kinds of animal nature, he would still choose to stick to the purest human nature. I never feel that human nature is derogatory. We are higher than animal nature because human nature understands compassion and justice.
Although he kept saying "I'm sick".
But the insinuation is: those who are greedy and selfish, they are sick.
2. Douglas's loan repayment game for biochemical experiments is a bit awkward. Do you still need to select people like this for biochemical experiments? You said it would be a pity if the smartest of the three stooges were actually used for experiments. Is it to highlight the nature of animals that he can still be redeemed after such a pass? ...I don't quite understand it, and I also ask the audience for advice. There is a suspense at the end, I don't know if the second part will explain it well.
3. Gambling
Everyone has 12 cards in hand, 4 sets of rock-paper-scissors, three stars on their arms, one star for a win, one star for a loss, and immediate elimination if there are no three stars.
In this process, there are no moral rules and rules (you can make money, you can cheat, except that the cards cannot be flushed down the toilet), and the winning conditions are very simple: after four hours: 3 stars in hand, 0 cards, you can get off the boat.
During the period, you can go to the loan, and the interest will roll by minute. You can also buy and sell stars and cards.
It's a game that my mom understands.
This is the most exciting and most revealing part of the film.
Because the impression is still a little vague after reading, there may be a lot of wrong places to add later:
From the first game when I was pitted by my own red-clothed little show, I thought of a game: the evolution of trust.
My mother urged me to go home and write.
