Treat money like your life, you will surely die of greed and betrayal

Two brushes. It is said to be based on real events. Through a kidnapping case of the children of a rich man, the film shows the coolness and even the sadness of family affection under the power of money, and reveals the uneasy state of mind and even the abnormal psychology of people in the shaking world. Getty I was undoubtedly an outstanding businessman and a slave to money. The film vividly shows his perseverance, cunning, and ruthlessness in his business operations, especially when he is usually dealing with others. Especially before paying the ransom, it is necessary to organize discussions and consider what channels can be tax-free, and don't forget to take this opportunity to take back the custody of the child from the former daughter-in-law. This is not something ordinary people can think of and do. This is the temperament of a rich man, and this is the temperament of a leader. For them, only more money can give them a sense of security. For this reason, their lives are constantly pursued, and for this reason, they can overdraw everything in their lives. If there's any essence or anything like that, it's that they won't make it if they don't, and the movie allows the audience to see through it all. It was an era of economic downturn, and various ideological trends and the resulting social movements also stirred up turmoil in the world. It can't escape the incitement of left-leaning ideology. It can be seen from the movie that Italian left-leaning political parties do anything to govern. The masses are the real heroes, but they never think, they only know how to rush forward, enjoy the momentary joy of destruction, and endure the long turmoil afterward. Powerful governments have problems, but in a country where anarchist ideas prevail, it is easy for the underworld to run rampant, black and white collusion, and systemic corruption is inevitable. We should be delighted that the development of science and technology later changed the world economic situation at that time, but there are all kinds of bad signs and trends at the moment, and we must maintain a high degree of vigilance. The image of the mother in the movie is very emotional. It started from the daughter of an American magistrate who married into a wealthy family, and then experienced various changes, especially the darkest moment when her son was kidnapped. She had to deal not only with the vicious mafia, but also with the ruthless. The father-in-law of Getty I. All of the mother's experiences made the audience sigh and ponder, and the movie revealed the glossy skin of the rich. He regards money as his own life, and always maintains a high degree of tension to deal with it, and he will surely die from insatiable greed and betrayal. The so-called palace he runs is also his grave.
