Sunglasses are very entertaining.

I want to cry, how many people collapse in similar situations, how many people give up and sink. But he did not have the courage to fight for the last time, or accepted the alms that did not need to be repaid but were despised.
The male protagonist also has the idea of ​​letting himself go and ending his life. He wants alms, but he doesn't accept it childishly. He takes it for a gamble and loses. There are too many people involved in reality, and he couldn't choose to die in his heart, so he didn't choose. Many people who are filthy on the edge live half-life and half-dead, and can let themselves go, and because of their lovers, their relatives can't let go of themselves.
In the end, he has nothing, without the courage and courage like the male protagonist, and unlike the male protagonist who recklessly explores the deepest redemption in his heart, it is too difficult, too lucky and too terrifying. We are afraid that we will lose if we are afraid of losing. No one knows what will happen without fear of losing, and the male protagonist is also in a cold sweat in the end.
He's still a gambler because he doesn't respect his life.
As for the final run, the woman who is waiting for the harvest, who doesn't want it. Do you want to get people to understand in such a marginal and extreme situation, or that sentence, do you have the courage?
Just to mention his sunglasses, very clever. We are embarrassed on many occasions. If it is us, we will also cover up. If we cover up more, it will become cool in life. It has nothing to do with Mark's acting without sunglasses. This is a real, careful and smart arrangement in the movie, which directly makes the audience feel his embarrassment.
It's a film in itself that's won, and doesn't need to be sublimated.

The Gambler quotes

  • Jim Bennett: You're born as a man with the nerves of a soldier, the apprehension of an angel

  • Jim Bennett: I've been up two and a half million dollars.

    Frank: What you got on you?

    Jim Bennett: Nothing.

    Frank: What you put away?

    Jim Bennett: Nothing.

    Frank: You get up two and a half million dollars, any asshole in the world knows what to do: you get a house with a 25 year roof, an indestructible Jap-economy shitbox, you put the rest into the system at three to five percent to pay your taxes and that's your base, get me? That's your fortress of fucking solitude. That puts you, for the rest of your life, at a level of fuck you. Somebody wants you to do something, fuck you. Boss pisses you off, fuck you! Own your house. Have a couple bucks in the bank. Don't drink. That's all I have to say to anybody on any social level. Did your grandfather take risks?

    Jim Bennett: Yes.

    Frank: I guarantee he did it from a position of fuck you. A wise man's life is based around fuck you. The United States of America is based on fuck you. You're a king? You have an army? Greatest navy in the history of the world? Fuck you! Blow me. We'll fuck it up ourselves.
