Listening to Little Flying Insect saying that this is the most spiritual movie so far, I resolutely played it again last night.

Indeed, the film expresses the battle between two inner voices (much like ACIM's Holy Spirit and the ego), and it is rare for a film to reach this level of spirituality. After defeating the ego, Mr. Green was praised by Little Flying Insect as a true hero and an unforgettable screen role in his life.

Because the characters and plots in the film are mixed with reality, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. There are a lot of psychological monologues in the lines, which requires a certain amount of English listening (pay attention to the voice, tone, and meaning of those monologues), in order to distinguish which words represent the ego and which words represent the voice of the Holy Spirit , which words are the voice of me (the chooser) as the intermediary.

The plot is clarified:
1. Mr. Green is a master of gambling, and was later coerced by the gang boss Macha to participate in a gambling game. Mr. Green won the gambling game, but because he could not stand the abuse of the gambler, he shot him. Cause conflict.
2. The gang put all the blame on Mr. Green, and threatened the life of his brother's family and he was not allowed to tell the police. His brother's wife died in a clash with gangsters.
3. Mr. Green was arrested by the police, and he chose to spend 7 years in solitary confinement. During his captivity, he finds that the two cellmates next to him are the deception master and the chess master. The two mysterious cellmates communicate with each other by taking notes on the books they read. Green takes the opportunity to learn from them and learn from them. Worship them deeply.
4. Mr. Green was released from prison after serving his sentence. The Eddie team from the gang immediately came to collect his debts from him. At this time, Mr. Green began to perform tricks and tricked them into lending him money with high interest.
5. In order to get more interest, those people borrow more and more money from the gang boss to Mr. Green (the first principle of making a fortune is to protect the people who help you make money, I also learned it~)
6. Mr. Green Green runs away with the money, and the Eddie group is stunned because he can't repay the money he borrowed from the mob boss.
7. Mr.Green went to the casino and began to challenge the gang boss Macha directly (here is the plot at the beginning of the film), Mr.Green won a lot of money, and Macha ordered the killer to kill him.
8. With the help of Zach's Avi, Mr. Green escaped. (At this time, Green didn't know the real identities of these two people, and thought he was trying to cheat him of money, so he had a monologue in his heart: Hmph, play tricks with me~)
9. Zach and Avi put Mr.Green's money on loan sharks to make money, And stole the drugs that Macha was going to give to Mr Gold.
10. Because the drug was stolen, Macha decided to buy it from a Hong Kong guy at double the price so that it could be provided to Mr Gold.
11. Zach and Avi ransacked both gangs. Macha and Hong Kong guys thought it was the other party and they were ready to fight.
12. Killer Sorter foiled the Hong Kong guy's plan, saved the boss Macha, and then went to destroy the Hong Kong guy.
13. Mr. Green donated all the money that was defrauded to a children's fund in the name of Macha. And it was published in the newspaper and widely informed.
14. Mr. Green went to see Macha alone and told him to donate all his money to charity. (This paragraph has the most important psychological description, Mr. Green finally defeated the voice representing the ego in his heart)
15. Macha sent people to arrest Mr. Green's brother and daughter, among which Sorter was unable to bear the accomplice to torture the little girl. Rebel and kill other thugs.
16. Mr. Green took the drugs to exchange hostages with Macha. At this time, he finally knew the identities of Zach and Avi (actually, it was Green's inner voice representing the Holy Spirit, helping Green overcome the ego and taking him out of the "prison"). ”)
17. The gang boss Macha’s heart was completely swallowed by the ego, and he committed suicide in endless fear. The end of the play.
