First ask a question: What is success? Is it Gordon's power or Bud's father's integrity and ordinary support for a happy family?
When we watch the brilliant ups and downs of Wall Street in our movies, and business people look forward to Wall Street-style success, let me define success as: wealth, status and power. In fact, many Chinese people do measure like this,
but character determines fate, and people with different characters are destined to be able to achieve such success.
Gordon is the type of person destined to succeed. And it is typical enough: the greed and self-confidence in the first part; after eight years in prison, he still believes in his consistent beliefs, and once again played around with people around him and sat in that position.
However, Gordon finally chose family affection. Is he no longer greedy? No, he hasn't changed at all.
It's just that time is changing, even if we become numb and dull, one day we will realize that time is not forgiving, it will never return, and life is limited. So he chose to invest in family affection to preserve the value of his limited remaining life.
When people are young, it is easy to be greedy, because they have nothing; once a person achieves the so-called success, it is difficult to stop, because there is always something better. Keep going.
Greed and desire are innate, everyone walks forward with enthusiasm, and few people stop to look back on the way they came. You are growing up slowly, but you don't realize that the relatives around you are slowly getting old and even dying, and even the feelings are drifting away. One day you will replace the feelings with desires.
Life requires balance. Excessive greed will tear our hearts and bodies apart, but maintaining the necessary greed for life is also the driving force behind our struggle. We have to move forward all the way, but we also need to look back from time to time, and don't ignore the fact that time is going against you.
Money doesn't sleep, greed doesn't sleep, and night still falls. Time creates fear. No matter how far off, the fear of the last time will recalibrate us. But we all hope that it will not be too late.
