Boring, vulgar and disgusting, I don't quite understand how the director fell in love with this mediocre story?
In the 5,000-year history of human civilization, whenever there is social turmoil, disaster strikes, and strong desires, the evil of human nature will inevitably break through ethics and all social norms, do evil recklessly, and vividly show the ugliness of human nature. This phenomenon does not need to be tested by an experiment or a bet. It is almost truth and common sense, and it exists between the lines on every page of the history of human civilization.
This film tells the story of a pair of boring psychopathic rich people who find two Lu She (middle school classmates) who drink to relieve their sorrows in a bar, invite them to party at the rich man's house, and then keep setting up small gambling games for the two to play competitive games. From drinking a glass of wine for 200 yuan to killing the opponent and getting 250,000 yuan, the game became more and more perverted and disgusting. In the end, one person killed a classmate and went home with 250,000.
We are all familiar with the boredom and willfulness of the rich, and the poor people at the bottom who kill people for a bite to eat. The director simply tells such a simple, vulgar and disgusting story, which feels basically meaningless except to satisfy the dark and curious psychology of some people.
If you really want to explore the issue of human nature, you should redesign the story, or let the boring rich men and women discuss first, put forward their own opinions, then make a bet, and then find the prey, just like the plot of the "Millionaire" that year. Or presume that the pair of Lu snakes who finally killed each other were brothers and moral models at the beginning, and then turned into beasts in front of money. The story makes a little bit of sense.
