Ultimately, the gambler is the gambler

"We can't escape all of this. Our destiny determines all of this."
"In the end, the gambler is the gambler."

Another Matt Damon film, "The King of Gamblers ", I think, I watched this old movie before watching "Mind Catcher". There really is no special reason. I just want to see what special gambling kings of American movies can make compared to Hong Kong movie gambling kings.
First of all, I like the epilogue very much, and the reason is not too clear, because I always like the epilogue, like typing in the epilogue, and listen to it several times without getting bored.
This is a very realistic PP in my own words. Except for Matt’s talent as a gambler, there is no funny taste. It seems to be a serious story about a gambler, and it even makes you have The impulse to imitate, because we must know that gambling is a thing that makes everyone's heart touched and can satisfy our desires. This is the most important thing.
Although it also talks about Las Vegas, the stories are basically carried out in the city's underground casinos. It should be said that the subtitles are very responsible, hehe, this is the only place that makes me a little relaxed.
In fact, gamblers abound among us. Really, when a person is particularly obsessed with something, in fact, in the strict sense, he is a gambler, but he is betting on his own interests, mood and time. And enthusiasm, and the gambler is betting on his own or other people’s hard-earned money. Matt’s excellent performance made me very thankful that one of my noon hours was not wasted. Really, after watching "Scheming", I slowly began to understand this kid who was at his peak. "The Identity" did not have the feeling. It seems that this kind of deep brainstorming film is suitable for him. When other popular movie stars are trying to transform from idols to acting, he is doing the opposite. This is why many directors are keen on him.
Why don't I ask what role I regarded as a role when I watched the film this time, oh no, I never entered the space of the role, because the world inside does not belong to me. This film seems to be a personal biography, and the narration is constantly introducing the environment. I can only be a bystander and listen to him to tell my own story. One may be a story about the early growth of a gambler, but in the end, I understand one thing, that is, "Go your own way. Oh, that will be the path that fate determines you are suitable for. Maybe this is a bit idealistic, but you can't say that he is wrong, can you?
Okay, I know, Many people don’t like others to talk to themselves and talk to themselves. Fortunately, this is my personal space. I am really happy. I can watch the film quietly. I have such a good mood to write something. Now I find that , It is longer to do something quietly alone.
