Continuing the Aaron Sorkin series, I watched Molly's game this week, the first film written and directed by Aaron, and our Huayi Investment, based on real events. The protagonist Molly has a legendary experience. She went to school as an academic bully and an Olympian. After retiring, she started working as a part-time job and entered the upper class directly, from Hollywood to Wall Street, from Lakers to Yankees, and then to Russian gangsters until she hit the FBI, is it the end? I started to publish a book again, and the lawsuit became hot again. What a theme!
With such a theme, plus a gold medal screenwriter, this film is not bad, but after watching it, I feel a little "thin". Aaron's first directing, the filming was quite satisfactory, with flashbacks at the beginning, a lot of flashbacks in the middle, quick editing, some documentary style, and explained the glorious history of the protagonist, and finally returned to the family, of course, there is a court scene that the director is good at. And then there's Aaron's signature massive amount of quick dialogue, an impassioned speech. Discussed women's rights? family relationship? Judicial Darkness? Perseverance in adversity? The rotten life of the bourgeoisie? It seems to have been mentioned, but it seems that it is not so in-depth. Maybe it is the director's first time to direct, and he thinks too much. The last 140 minutes can't be loaded.
After reading it, I feel that poverty really limits our imagination. Rich people really don't take money as money. They lose millions of dollars in a gamble. They will come tomorrow. Molly initially insisted on not taking a cut. Living in a luxury house and driving a luxury car, in the end, they played too much and were worried about the risks that the venue could not guarantee, so they began to take a cut. Of course, this is just one side of the protagonist's words, why take a cut? Maybe the more money you make, the more you want to make money? Of course, this eventually pushed himself to the front of the FBI. But what if this is in a country without the FBI? Is there no such game? Then whose game will it be?
After reading it, another impression is that there are so many good people in the world. It is said that the protagonist Molly is already good enough. In fact, his brother Jeremy Bloom is even more good. He was inducted into the U.S. Skiing Hall of Fame; when he was a student at the University of Colorado, he played American football and was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles, but he relentlessly went to play with those muscle sticks instead of playing in the professional league; he opened a software company in 2010, and was then selected by the Philadelphia Eagles. The American Business Awards named him Best New Company, and Forbes Magazine named him one of the 30 most influential young people under 30 in technology. Hey, people are more popular than dead people. Is it better genetics or better education? When it comes to education, his father is a psychology professor, a typical tiger dad, who believes in tire is synonymous with weak, and it is actually played by Kevin Costner. He is unsmiling, and it is cool to talk to his daughter about his cheating. It happened that Kevin played the GM in the draftday I mentioned last time, and it seems to be this cool style.
