I watched the film mainly because of Giovanni Ribisi. I like him very much, and I have also watched other films he acted in, such as The Suburbs

The Suburbs is a work released by Richard Linklater in 1997. The whole film is relatively depressing and mourning. Personally, I like this film very much, because I belonged to this kind of half-drunk and half-awake for several months last year. I know this is wrong, but I am too lazy to change all of this, and I am afraid to change all of it. Every time I watch this movie, I feel like I am in it

sprint to heaven

Sprint to Paradise is a film directed by Tom Tykway and released in 2002. It shares the same theme as the female teacher played by actor Cate Blanchett. Aside from crimes, I personally think it is more of a romantic film. In the film, Giovanni Ray After learning about the female teacher's life experience, Bixi decided to help her escape from the police station. Later, she established a sincere relationship in the midst of adversity and escaped the real world step by step.

After being opposed by the judge's father, he hoped that he could earn real money as soon as possible. The first pot of gold, to impress my father, and because of the words of a friend, he turned his head and fell into a larger illegal securities company. Going to his illegal casino, he might be thinking about something, he made an appointment with his father, but after sitting down, his father started questioning, condemning, and scolding, rehabilitating, making legal money, and then we can talk like ordinary people, After his father left, it made him think that his opportunity was coming. He had to take advantage of this opportunity, so he decided to go to work in a securities company. In the evening, he told his mother about it. But his father still asked him some irritating questions, which made Seth Davis feel he had to prove himself even more. He threw bait into the sea frantically through telemarketing, and more and more fish were biting. This immersed him and taught the daily news salesman how to sell one morning. At this time, halfway through the plot, Seth Davis forgot his bag at the company and went back to get it, and accidentally found that something was wrong with the company. He is also being targeted by the FBI now, but he is still addicted to this pleasure, and with the help of his colleagues, he sold the first share in his life, "100,000 copies"! He threw the bait on Harry Raymond, the last deceiver in the film. After a while, Seth Davis still felt that something was wrong with the company, so he followed his boss and searched the company for illegal evidence he wanted to know. This time he found out, he found that this company is actually a shell company, junk stocks, they create their own stocks, and then sell them, but each time the first order will not give customers too much, because they have to raise the stock price to give The first customer made a normal income, and then after the customer bought more, it began to collapse and slaughter, but he still couldn't believe it. All the money that was going to buy the house was invested. At this time, Seth Davis' father found out about this securities company selling fake stocks and found Seth Davis and scolded him, I told you to close it. Your illegal casino, get a decent job, you're better off, turn around and do even bigger dirty things, Seth Davis was a little overwhelmed, he went back to the company and received a call from Harry Raymond, When Harry Raymond questioned him about what had happened, Seth Davis was really starting to get scared and he ran to his father for help, he told Dad's own plan, but Dad thinks he's terrible and wants him to get out of here immediately, Seth Davis cried when he heard what his father said, he said it was all for you and me Yes, I thought you would think it would be good, Wo just wanted to make himself better to impress you, and now he feels like he has let his father down, but he really knew he was wrong, and his father still told him he couldn't help He, Seth Davis, picked up his coat and went away, he started looking around for help, he hoped he could escape and get what was meant to be his, and his father called him the next day and told him He, he was willing to help him, he found a relationship, hope he can come over here tonight and tell the story so that Seth Davis doesn't have to go to jail, and at this time, the FBI heard the recording of the call and felt I have enough evidence to start the arrest of Seth Davis. This time he met his father early, and his father asked him, did you betray me? what did you say? FBI agents turned on their recordings of the call... FBI agents asked Seth Davis to help him out of jail and his father could no longer be a judge, Seth Davis felt Maybe, his father had nothing to do with this matter, and he deserved it. You can send my father home now, and I will tell you everything I know. Finally, the FBI agent agreed to let him tomorrow. Go to work as normal, then copy all of his client data files on a floppy disk and leave. The next day Seth Davidson did as he did and tried to help Harry get his money back, and the police began to arrest him.

At the end of the film, Seth Davis begins to say: I've been obsessed with "what if" these days, what if Greg didn't come that day? What if I hadn't forgotten to get my bag...or didn't see Michael walk into that building? What if I left out Harry's business card? What are the chances? What is accidental? This is what I was thinking, hey, I've run a casino, I'm going to find out next, I'm not a lottery winner, I've tried to lift a rock, I'm not going to be opportunistic anymore

This is the first time I write a movie review. I don't know if it is a movie review. It's just that I was in such a life a few months ago. Maybe it's not as big a crime as the movie, but I'm like the movie. The fish is like a fisherman. I got some sweetness from it, but I didn't react when the fisherman closed the rod. I didn't sign up, if I didn't click on that message, if... no if in the movie, same thing in real life, I know it's all my own doing, this time I tripped and I didn't get up right away , I sat there thinking for a long time, I hope I won't fall in the same place next time, also because of this incident, it reminded me of this movie, so I watched this movie again
