Poker Princess a little bit aggrieved

In fact, I don't understand why the director must find a reason for Molly, as if everything Molly did was suppressed by her father because of her childhood.

Why is the rise of feminism always accompanied by suppression of patriarchy? Can't women simply want to pursue fame and fortune and be careerists?

Molly could have been a more energetic character, which is somewhat aggrieved.

But this is a biopic, and it can't be too exaggerated. As a biographical film, the narrative is smooth, even if the cross narrative of memory and reality is adopted, it is not very confusing, but has a more comprehensive display of the heroine.

Molly's ambition and sense of justice are interspersed in her three career developments, each climaxing. From a certain angle, it also reflects her confrontation with dirty casinos and men.

Although the bombardment of fast-spoken lines is a bit brain-burning, it can set off the excitement of the casino and Molly's struggling heart.

At first I thought Molly was a poker player, but I didn't expect to be the owner of the casino. But in fact, whether the player or the boss, people spend a long time in the casino, their minds will become different and their bodies will become weaker. I think the ending of Molly's hand is good.

    The narration is as much as the wolf of wall street, very crowd pleasing, idris elba has a showy monologue, michael cera plays tobey maguire is very thunderous, but the pre-credits clip of the olympic trials is not bad central park skating meets dad there too cringeworthy in the seat shaking like a dog

Molly's Game quotes

    Larry Bloom: I'm not.

    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.
