Old themes are hard to make new achievements

Although the small fresh meat and old handsome guys from the United States are assembled. And it's based on real events. But the movie doesn't feel good.

The reason is that the subject matter of the movie is not new, but it is the "Black American Dream", and criticizing the Americans for "making big money easily" is the ability and respectable. As for how to make money, no one cares. Therefore, two Harvard graduates, relying on their circle of friends and their "courage" (putting down their conscience and making a fortune), began to play the old-fashioned "Ponzi scheme". Unfortunately, when Langzi met the old fox, the old fox seemed to join in and help them, but in fact he had already transferred their money secretly. The two wise men who were driven to a dead end had no choice but to take the road of no return and kill the old fox (but could not get the money). He turned back to help a Mexican diamond dealer smuggle in, but accidentally killed someone. Therefore, the reality is not that they are brave enough to be smart enough to control. They have no way to cover up the evidence, and they are finally arrested by the police, and they also play "mutual frame".

In any case, their glorious lives, the lives of luxury houses and luxury cars are fleeting, and all that awaits is prison.

Why the movie is not good enough, obviously, we know that there are too many good films before. What "The Wolf of Wall Street", what "Enron: A Room of Smart Men", what "Hand of Deception"...

What's more, in the same theme, the film does not focus on their fraud (of course it is very simple) process. So the story loses its appeal. 18.7.28

Billionaire Boys Club quotes

  • Ron Levin: I had been working at Rothschild for a year. When suddenly I found myself thrown in front of a discipline committee and was forced to defend myself. And... I had nothing. 21 stories and none of them good. So I came clean.

    Joe Hunt: They take your license?

    Ron Levin: No, I mean they could have, they should have, but no. Because what I was doing wasn't illegal... yet. I was ahead of the law. I mean, it was unethical and corrupt. Immoral if you believe in that sort of thing. But it wasn't illegal, so they had nothing. So guess what they did. They asked me to write the code to prohibit the kind of trading that I had been doing. How brilliant is that? That hearing made me with the SEC. And I realized that day... sometimes the truth is the best lie.

  • Ron Levin: You sell a BMW, you pay your rent. You refine a tanker full of crude... you cover your overhead for a year. But if you perform on the account I just handed you... then your lives will never be the same. Think big and you will be big.
