Contradiction is fascinating

Only Molly in the movie is discussed here. As expressed in the high-rated movie reviews who have read Molly's autobiography, Molly in real life is nothing but chicken feathers.

Jasmine is a paradox. She is greedy for vanity and refuses to use sex. She cares about the salary of 450 yuan a week but is generous to the guests in the poker game. She has a bright future at Harvard Law School but hangs around in the glitz of the so-called "high society". in the phantom. The most special thing is that a person who climbs for the sake of profit is willing to give up his interests and choose a false "reputation".

There have always been two views, one is the individual decision theory that people can change their fate; the other is the environmental decision theory. Jasmine is the product of the entanglement of the self and the environment.

At the same time, I want to complain that the so-called quality education and burden reduction in China are bullshit. Take a look at how Jasmine's father, a psychology professor, cultivates his children's moral, intellectual, and physical (oh no virtue) to develop in an all-round way. Under the application system of European and American universities, would Jasmine go to Harvard Law School if she didn't have a ranking in skiing? Look at how black lawyers give their daughters extra homework. How many parents who are clamoring for happy education in China have the ability to do this kind of private kitchen?

    Molly Bloom: It wasn't a purse snatcher, Dad. It was the mafia.

    Larry Bloom: I don't care if it's the leader of the mob. Someone put their hand on you, they're gonna suffer.

    Molly Bloom: Dad, I'm fine.

    Larry Bloom: No, they're gonna suffer.

    Molly Bloom: Dad, I'm alright. Really, I'm fine.

  • Douglas Downey: There's a poem... a famous... uh... a poem about... thoughts left unexpressed. "Two roads emerged from the woods. Do they explode? I dunno" You like poetry?
