What is money to us

It took me two lunch breaks to finish watching this movie.

Why did it take two lunch breaks, because the rhythm of the film was really not tense enough at the beginning, and it did not achieve enough attractive effects, but because it was adapted from a real event and the score was not low, I decided to watch him with patience.

Paul's appearance, first of all, I don't have the habit of reading the introduction first, but if I don't read the introduction, you will not connect him with the grandson of the richest man in the world. He is like a sloppy homeless man with a bad track record. children. He was kidnapped and I had no idea what was going to happen next.

Then the old Getty appeared. When my son was going home, I never thought that the old Getty would accept them so easily, and gave the grandson a piece of art worth 120 knives. What do you want to say in the movie? The richest man has a heart and loves his son and his grandson. Sure enough, he has to reverse it. If it does not reverse, it is an ordinary story.

Little Paul was kidnapped, and the kidnappers demanded a ransom of 17 million knives. What the old Getty did here really made me nervous. Little Paul was in deep danger, but he was not in a hurry. I couldn't understand him. Is there a plan or not enough love for the grandson. Later, Chase was invited to help Paul's mother, but he always emphasized that the transaction should be concluded at a reasonable price. Is this just an ordinary transaction?

Seeing this is a bit chilling, but it is understandable. After all, the kidnappers will speak loudly, and negotiation is not a bad idea. But no matter who it is, if the relatives are kidnapped, they will panic. Since the problem that money can solve is not a problem, but for Old Getty, except for money, everything else is not a problem. So much so that when the kidnapper finally brought the grandson's ear, he still only paid $1 million, and on the premise that Paul's mother gave up custody, I was really angry when I saw this, isn't my grandson's life the most important thing? ? ? ?

At this time, Paul's mother's courage and firmness really impressed me. She kept her calm and finally had to make a risky decision. It was this decision that made Old Getty completely admit defeat and decided to pay the full ransom. Paul Thrilling escape.

What touched me the most was that old Getty left this world, this world of money, miserably and coldly on this night, in a stormy night, holding his treasures alone, with no one around. He said that he loves Paul the grandson the most. I want to believe this is a sincere statement, but he also loves his money. He cannot balance the relationship between money and love. Many people scold the old Getty, saying that he is ruthless and deserves loneliness. The end of a tragic death, I think it is too cruel, he is actually a very sad and pitiful person, he may have mastered all the methods of making money, but he has not learned how to love, love himself and the people around him.

In today's society, due to the huge pressure of life, many people rush for a house, a car, and a good quality of life, but it is often easy to get lost and forget what we really want to do in this world and what is the real meaning of our life. , I don’t know since when our ideals have become to buy a big house, buy a good car, wear business cards, wear luxury goods, etc. We need money, but in addition to money, we should stop often or slow down. Experience life and take a good look at the people around us. Maybe you won't know anything after you die, but even so, it's better if you don't have any regrets

In addition, the old man's acting skills are really nothing to say, praise!
