The King of Gamblers? Or "The Road to the King of Gamblers"?

The gambler played by Edward Nord has never repented from beginning to end, and feels a little regretful, but his roguelikeness is expected to tempt some female fans :-). While watching the movie, I figured out how to handle Matt Damon and Edward Norton's relationship at the end, and nine times out of ten, they parted ways. Sure enough, the last sentence "As for worm, well, i figure we're even." confirmed my guess.

It was completely aimed at Matt Damon and insisted on watching it, and somehow felt that the whole film was sorry for the name "The King of Gamblers". At the beginning of the film, Matt Damon is determined to go to Las Vegas to show his skills. He thought he would become the gambling king of the casino, but he did not expect to be broken in the community. . Community, Khan. . I checked the meaning of rounder, which is slightly derogatory, "prodigal son, drunkard, profligate spendthrift", the king of gambling kings? I personally think it's an exaggeration. In fact, round means "circle, ring", and in Matt Damon's monologue at the end of the film, I'm back where i started. That is, returning to the starting point. I think "get up from where you fell." That's what I meant to say.

Too many similarities to Good Will Hunting: college, talent, conflict with girlfriend, professor pointing the way, and finally driving, taxiing into the future. Well, both were released in 1998, and the male protagonists are on their way to the future.

  • Worm: [to Roman and Maurice, chastising them for deliberately speaking Russian to each other while playing poker] You wanna see the seventh card, stop speaking fucking sputnik! I'm sure you guys were talking about Pierogies and snow but let's cut that out.

  • Worm: [Pretending to be a sore loser at the college fraternity game] Like my uncle Les used to say "When the money is gone, it's time to move on". So enjoy it, you secret handshaking assholes.
