After reading the short review, I couldn't help but want to say a few words. I thought it would be good to give a four and a half points, but after reading low low's comments, I think I can give it a five.
This is the paradox of secular ideas. It's like the loan shark and casino operator who can't understand what the protagonist is doing, simply thinks he wants to kill himself, and then squeezes the remaining value of his family. Sure enough, some works are for some people who understand.
Those who say that the protagonist is "gambling life", please pay attention. He won 240,000 at the beginning of the film, but he didn't take it. At the end of the film, he pressed 260,000, and he didn't take it. Are these numbers good? He's not a gambler because he doesn't enjoy winning or losing. The source of unhappiness is not money, but the conflicting impact of three generations of labels, family conflicts, and values.
Fuck Off is because her mother and the world around him valued money more than his father and son since he was a child, and he thinks that human feelings and souls are more important (his father died in kidnapping and tearing tickets, he deliberately owed money to the underworld to gamble to death) and finally let his mother withdraw the money Just to cut off the relationship, echoing what his grandfather said at the beginning, if I don't leave an inheritance, what is your value. Several of his students symbolize the innate intelligence of different people, and many people choose to "not be themselves", cater to others and be ordinary or "use it for other purposes".
Because he despises the way of life and values that fuck off, buy a house, rent a house, support his life and rely on interest and exploitation... He wants to put aside everything he has inherited and pursue himself (writing books, encouraging students, etc.) The tennis guy didn't take that. 50,000 yuan and the basketball guy continuing to dream are the best praises for him. This concept of will has been carried forward.
So the "hidden thread" of the story, he deliberately threw away all the money given by the family and re-acquainted himself (although I think this is very obvious, but it can't stand many blind young Wenqing). The comment area said it was a bad movie, one is that there is no observation, and the other is that the inner structure is too small.
