Upside down trump card

The inverted trump card is easily reminiscent of another film, Schindler's List. He and Schindler's list have one thing in common, which is to use other people's disaster (unfortunate) to get something. But it is very different from Schindler's list, the former is evil, the latter is the best.

The inverted trump title means "flop". A down-and-out reporter who was fired from 11 American newspapers. He is very ambitious and has always wanted to make world-shattering news. He looks down on weather news, popular science news, and even The slogan "tell the truth" on the wall of the new owner. Once the boss asked him to go on a business trip to do news about Rattlesnakes. During the business trip, he picked up a big news, thinking that the miner was trapped in the mine with his legs pinned down. The reporter thought it was a big news because the mine has been a long time The former book contained the Indian treasure, and many people died tragically due to digging the treasure. The reporter combined this legendary background with the misfortune of the miners to issue the first report, which, as expected, was on the front page and sold well. . Many curious and nosy ordinary people came to watch, including an insurance broker.

Ambition prompted the reporter to be more courageous, and he recruited a policeman with a bad reputation and a group of rescue teams to come to the rescue.

Police, rescue teams, ordinary citizens, the media, etc., a large number of people flocked to this uninhabited and uninhabited town just to read a story, a story of being punished by greed. Business opportunities followed. The small shop run by the miner's wife was booming, selling hamburgers and drinks, and the shop was filled with good people every minute.

The young and beautiful wife, tired of living with her husband, even wanted to walk away while her husband was in trouble, but was stopped by the reporter, the reporter Chuck (God I finally remembered what his name was) pushed hard Pulling her hand, she said viciously, do you want to go away now? The barbershop bleached your hair, and it looks like they bleached your head too. The young wife lost her mind for a while, and eventually the temptation of business opportunities made her stay. Every day after that, the cash register tinkled and the income continued to flow. She even called a circus, built a playground in the town, and charged everyone who came to the town a fee.

I'm getting the story here, and everyone may be wondering, what are the rescue teams doing? Is this a business conspiracy? The reporter and the rescue team Baotou met in the tavern. In the crowded environment, Chuck discussed with Baotou how to save people. Chuck said slyly, why don't we drill a hole from the top of the mine to save people? The simple and fat Baotou replied that it would take 7 days and 7 nights. Chuck said, just do it, this is the safest way.

During these 7 days, a large number of people poured into the town where the birds did not fly over the top. The local folk singer made a song for the miners in the town and sang it with affection. There, insurance brokers handed out business cards one by one, looking for clients. Children in the playground sit on the merry-go-round while eating ice cream, and hawkers sell them everywhere. The sound of the machine excavating the mountain was mixed with the broadcasts of many media and the singing of singers. The whole town was very prosperous, and the young wife made a lot of money every day.

Everyone was there in the name of caring about the miner, but no one cared about him.

Another professional and sincere miner told the truth, he said in an interview, I think all this is very strange, because I have had a similar experience, and someone has been trapped like this, but our approach is to use The wood supports those walls that are about to collapse, and then saves people. This is the fastest way. I don't know why it took 7 days to open the mountain this time. "Of course his voice was muffled.

The ending of the story is that the victims died underground because they could not survive for 7 days. As for the fate of the reporter, I believe this is no longer the point.

This is a story about human nature, a story about gaining fame and fortune by trampling on an ordinary person in distress. When watching the movie, you seem to have guessed what Chuck is going to do next. When you see Chuck's greedy eyes and the naivety that the miners believe, you think you can see the ending, but it's too late to be sure. The audience has always had a question in their hearts, did the miners survive in the end? Did Chuck save him? This is the concern of every conscientious viewer. But the director is very cunning. He makes everyone in the film only care about their own interests, and is led by the nose of the lively transaction, as if everyone has forgotten the existence of the victims and that it is all because of an unfortunate man Get up. Except for Chuck, he is not for money, it seems not for fame, not even interested in women, he is only excited by the scoop, and even before his death, he wants to sell the truth again.

It's not so much a story about a conspiracy as it's a story of people walking along and eventually forgetting their original intentions. For 7 days, the town was full of people. After 7 days, the town returned to its original desolation. The young wife was chasing the car that could take her out of the town with her high heels as if nothing had happened. No one remembered it. that victim.

And successfully rescuing a person is as simple as supporting the broken stone wall with wood.
