Two "idiots" steal the vault, this movie doesn't seem to be a joke

Today, when little fresh meat and little loli are rampant, the most indispensable things in film and television dramas are "a joke" and "a performance".


But it's very strange. In Xiaobei's impression, there is such a magical drama. It uses embarrassment and contrast to create jokes throughout, but the audience does not feel embarrassed at all after watching it. On the contrary, the "stupidity" of the protagonists always gives people a kind of high-end rush.

Saying that the protagonists are wise but foolish, Xiaobei is serious.

This film is called "League of Thieves", and its English name is "Logan Lucky". In Xiaobei's cognition, if the title of this film is a literal translation, it should be called Lucky Logan, but after watching the film, Xiaobei realized that I am a big boy. How wise the kingdom of heaven calls it "The League of Thieves".


The protagonist of the film is named Jim Logan. Although he has such a popular name, his life is unusual, not only unusual, it can be described as constant bad luck.

The mother fell ill, the house collapsed, the younger brother had an arm blown off by a landmine on the battlefield, and the younger sister finally got promoted to the position of assistant by virtue of her work ability, but had to resign because of the boss's sexual harassment.


Even Jim himself had to retire from football because of a knee injury. The chain reaction of this incident is that his wife left him and "elope" with a rich man.

Of course, as far as us ordinary people are concerned, these bad luck has obviously been enough for us to digest for a while, but the fact is, life, there is no worst, only worse - Jim's work in the car repairing circuit at the racetrack after retiring from sports, even He was fired for some inexplicable reason.


This is simply "the house leaks and it rains overnight", what should I do?

What else can I do? Just "do not do it, do it again and again" and steal the treasury of the racetrack.

What? Do you suspect that you heard it wrong? Don't worry, what Xiaobei said was "stealing the treasury", not only Jim from Pojiao wanted to steal, but even his younger brother Clyde, who was missing an arm, wanted to join.

However, the idea is there, but how to carry out theft?

Don't worry, the racetrack is Jim's old club, where he knows everything. So, he and Clyde found Joe Ban, a demolition expert who was still serving time in prison.


Because, even if they are familiar with stealing targets, they still need the most important thing - bombs. It's just that, in Joe's view, Jim and Clyde's idea of ​​stealing the treasury is as silly as a child playing a house.

However, Joe forgot one truth, that is, in life, don't look down on anyone.

If you don't believe me, the Rogan brothers, who were called foolish by others, really succeeded in stealing the cash in the vault of the racetrack. Not only that, but they also took out Joe, who was serving a sentence in prison, and helped them steal the cash, and then sent him back without knowing it.


Are the Logan brothers really stupid?

In Xiaobei's opinion, Qiao, who thinks they are stupid, should be the most dumbfounded.

But if Xiaobei is called a thief just by successfully stealing the treasury, then Xiaobei is too ignorant. The magic of the movie "League of Thieves" is that Jim and Clyde not only successfully stole the treasury, but also Successfully made the FBI give up their pursuit.


This kind of great wisdom cannot be explained by "stupid people have stupid blessings".

After watching the movie "League of Thieves", Xiaobei had to once again have a deep admiration for director Steven Soderbergh.

You know, before that, director Steven Soderbergh had already won the Palme d'Or for Best Picture at the Cannes Film Festival and the Oscar for Best Director for his works "Sex, Lies and Videotapes" and "Drug Network".


And "League of Thieves" came from him, no wonder some netizens commented that this film is the best robbery comedy of the year.

In Xiaobei's view, what this film brings to us is not only the skill of a thief, but also the thrill of revenge. What it brings us is actually the correct interpretation of "big wisdom is stupid"!
