Money Slaves (to be perfected)

"The World of Money" Paul Getty (rich, but also a slave to money)

violence of money

difficult person

Although he is the richest man, he can't enjoy the money. He thinks about how to save money, how to avoid taxes, and how to cut the price to the lowest price. Bargaining is power. It is simply a kind of ascetic, others look bright.

With his ability to appreciate art, he has insight into the evil of human nature, so he wants to find the beauty of human nature from the unchanging works of art

Money doesn't just mean money, it must mean something.

When grandson helped grandpa read and reply to the letter, he liked to do these things very much, and grandfather also said that he hoped to change and make a difference.

I have money, but I have no spare money.

He has a charitable trust. Although he has never donated money for charity, he can avoid taxes and the like. The disadvantage is that he cannot spend money casually, so he can only continue to expand and invest in art.

Getty: It's easy to be rich, but it's hard to be rich, because after you become rich, you have more choices, and desires also increase, but desires can devour and destroy people.

Facilitate deals, bribe relationships, and show that you can walk away at any time.

You can't trust the mouth of a rich man, even if he expresses his appreciation for you, or even presents it to you.

If you can't be a rich person with ability, or don't want to get any big benefits from them, don't get involved too much with rich people. Some people have no way to deal with rich people, so they will start with you, because you don't know what to do with them. The public of the truth thinks that you have gained a lot of benefits, but you are insignificant to the rich, because you cannot protect yourself if you don’t get the benefits. You can only put yourself in danger and become cannon fodder.

    One month before the film’s release, due to Kevin Spacey’s sex scandal, it was decided to change roles urgently, and it took 9 days to finish filming the new feature, and it was guaranteed to be released on the original schedule... Old man Lei and Old Plummer are amazing. ! It might be better to remove the 20-minute movie.

    Two and a half stars. The taste is too bland and the strength is not enough. I don't think Christopher Plummer's performance is too brilliant. As usual, once again lamented the creativity of director Ridley Scott. It's a pity that a potentially wonderful story fell into the hands of a screenwriter with little strength.

All the Money in the World quotes

  • J. Paul Getty: I had to focus on my mission, you understand? On my business. And... I couldn't be weighed down mentally with a family. You understand that, don't you, Paul?

  • J. Paul Getty: Pardon the laundry. I just see no point in paying $10 for room service to come up and launder my undershorts when I could do the same thing for just a few lira. And it's tax-deductible. Almost everything is if you know how to play it.
