The world of the rich, the poor don't understand

Probably the best movie I've seen about kidnappings, and I'm also impressed with the "Ransom" that Mel Gibson played many years ago. This Ridley Scott's from true events has a bigger story. The world of the rich does not understand the poor. I understand that the film develops according to this logic. At the beginning, the child was kidnapped, and then the marriage of Gedi II was introduced. The daughter-in-law and the child once lived in the mansion, but the old Gedi was incompatible with them. Instead, he focused on using a scene to describe the dialogue between the grandfather and grandson; They all thought that Lao Gedi could afford it and would definitely redeem his life for his grandson, but he never expected to be categorically rejected by this "Grande". What the hell did the rich think? Then I will talk about Lao Gedi's way of making a fortune. He is shrewd, cunning, strong-willed, and uncompromising. Let us understand that the old guy has his life creed, the difference between the rich and the poor! Lao Gaidi secretly asked the former agent to rescue his grandson, but the premise was that he could not pay. The daughter-in-law began to contact the agent, and started the child's life in captivity, as well as the intersection with one of the kidnappers. The American civilian woman is unyielding to the richest man in the world. In order to leave the house for her children, she overwhelmed Lao Gedi in her aura, but she had to bow her head to her father-in-law when the ransom was needed. It really happened, and he resigned to Lao Gaidi. This dialogue is a turning point in the movie. Lao Gaidi decided to pay, but his grandson was already in danger. The final rescue was very shocking. The grandson finally escaped, but Lao Gaidi fell asleep. , The board of directors explained that the richest man in the world is stingy because he can't spend money but can only invest. The poor really don't understand! The whole film is compact in structure, detailed in characters, and the dramatic conflict is reasonable. The event takes place in Italy, and it also shows the various social forces involved, as well as the anarchy in remote mountainous areas. Ridley is a director I admire very much, and he can make works of various subjects amazingly talented.

    The old Getty has a lot of scenes, and it is amazing to have such a finished product in such a short reshoot time. The details of the era and the place of the black Italian police paparazzi are all good, and the soundtrack and rhythm are also highlights. But the whole viewing process is how KS will act and what the Italian accent of hippo belly is.

    I always feel that something is missing? Kidnapping is not exciting enough, and greedy is not staggering enough. Both grandparents and grandsons, both named Plummer, played well. However, I still can’t help but want to watch the first banned movie of 2017: There is Kevin Spacey’s version of "Money World"...

All the Money in the World quotes

  • J. Paul Getty: It's a good day.

    Fletcher Chace: I'm glad to hear that, Mr. Getty. It'll make this much easier. We need to pay the ransom.

    J. Paul Getty: I thought you said this was a hoax.

    Fletcher Chace: Your grandson was kidnapped by members of the Calabrese' Ndrangheta. Two of the original kidnappers are dead, and one is missing.

    J. Paul Getty: That sounds like progress to me.

    Fletcher Chace: I'm afraid not, all right? They got nervous waiting for the ransom. They sold the boy to an investor.

    J. Paul Getty: "An investor"? Who invests in kidnapped children?

    Fletcher Chace: You'd be surprised. There's nothing people can't find a way to turn into money.

    J. Paul Getty: You told me that Paul and his mother had cooked this up to soak me.

    Fletcher Chace: And I was wrong, all right? Paul may have talked about being kidnapped with his friends. He put it out there. He's not behind this.

    J. Paul Getty: How do I know that you're not wrong now?

    Fletcher Chace: These people are not the old-world Malavita anymore. Their only code is profit and loss. They will do things to Paul that cannot be undone for any amount of money. We have to pay

    J. Paul Getty: Well, this simply isn't possible. My financial position has changed.

    Fletcher Chace: Really? I mean, 30 seconds ago,you said it was a good day. I mean, I'm not all that bright, but I can multiply as well as you. With oil up as much as it was this morning, you have amassed another fortune.

    J. Paul Getty: Well, what if the embargo is lifted and oil were to crash? I'd be exposed. I have never been more vulnerable financially than I am right now.

    Fletcher Chace: Mr. Getty, with all due respect, nobody has ever been richer than you are at this moment.

    J. Paul Getty: I have no money to spare.

    Fletcher Chace: What would it take? I mean, what would it take for you to feel secure?

    J. Paul Getty: More

  • Corvo: Forgive me, Ms. Getty. Just one last question, regarding your testimony earlier. Why did you think the kidnapping was a joke?

    Gail Harris: It's a *figure of speech*. The whole situation was unbelievable. It still is.

    Corvo: Well, tragic, yes, but not unbelievable.

    Fletcher Chace: It's not tragic *yet*. Maybe you ought to work on keeping it that way.

    [later]

    Fletcher Chace: Did Paul ever talk to you about having himself kidnapped?

    Gail Harris: You've got to remember who the Gettys are. Every time someone stays in the bathroom for too long, someone makes a joke about being held for ransom. Paul might have cracked a joke once or twice among friends...

    Fletcher Chace: [points] There's that word again.

    Gail Harris: What word?

    Fletcher Chace: A "joke". You said you thought it was a joke when it first happened.

    Gail Harris: Now you sound like that policeman. Whose side are you on, Mr. Chace?

    Fletcher Chace: I'm on my own side. Always. And if this is a joke, I'd like to make sure that I'm in on it.
