The last winner, the last with nothing, Reivew on Miller's Crossing

In the last scene, when the male lead put on his hat and watched Leo leave sadly, my mind revolved around the ending song of "Leon" "shape of my heart": He deals the cards as a meditation, He doesn't play for the money he wins, He doesn't play for respect. [He fights wits and courage at the poker table, but never for money or respect]. It is true that the male protagonist, not for money, not for power, or even for his own conscience, does not care about his face, and even abandons his love in the end. In the end, he was the winner of the overall situation, and he also lost nothing. [Then he paid off the debt of less than 2000 dollars, don't count. ]
Some say the least this is a Coen movie, however, like the Coen brothers, I liked the movie, but the film has a connotation Cohen-style movie after all the Coen brothers: satire, impermanence. Some people may have the idea of "This is not a Cohen-style movie" because it involves many emotional factors. Tommy's boss Leo has a soft spot for female votes, and Tommy also has a deep love for female votes. , The other side’s Italian boss’s paranoia about "morality", his son’s obsession, the most important thing is Tommy’s kind of "I’ve tossed so many things just for you to settle everything and I don’t love you, don’t thank me" "Don't pester me" Shake S-shaped Bromance. It was this kind of feeling that made me cry after watching the movie. It also made me like this Tommy, who is "nonsense and confusing to do things". Everything he does is purposeful, but for a horizon where the end flag can't be seen.
