This title is the title party. No one is hard to kill, either because of luck or because of a strong desire to survive.
After watching this movie, I have been superficially immersed in the beauty of the heroine. Then the next day I mentioned that I had seen this movie and told my friends about the story. A friend asked me, do you think the reason why she can do so well is because she has some characteristics that are different from others.
Good question, I can't answer her and 'others'. I haven't counted the traits of 'others'. I have always been interested in 'others', and since I grew up, I have always liked to dig deeper into the reasons why 'others' can achieve what they have achieved, because they have different characteristics from me. But I didn't tell my friends what I said in my head.
This movie is about the heroine Molly Broom, after an injury and loss in the freeskiing competition, plans to start over and give herself a year of doing nothing. As a result, she met a person at a part-time job (a liquor girl) who offered her a job as an assistant so that she could pay the rent at a friend's house with the money she earned every week. As a result, one day her boss asked her to go to a poker game at night, and since then she has become a poker princess. Tipping is soft, she can hear the latest insider news from people from all walks of life, and more importantly, she has learned everything about playing poker.
The new turning point came from the boss's worsening economic situation, and she planned to deduct her salary. Molly didn't want to do laundry for the boss for free, so she broke up with the boss. She went out and rented a room in a high-end hotel for a lot of money. Good wine, made a professional poker table. Then I dug up the boss's corner with the phone. After she started to work alone, she became even more out of control, and the game became bigger and bigger, but she also saw all kinds of vulnerable human nature, the most important of which was that a person with good card skills but poor psychological quality lost once. Lost a million dollars and couldn't pay it back, Molly had to swallow the bitter fruit. Until one day, he had a disagreement with the most important gambler, and that gambler neatly cleaned up Molly's game and took all the gamblers away.
Molly did not feel depressed after being hit this time. She became more and more courageous. She flew directly from the old base of California to New York, and opened a new gambling game in New York. She recruited gamblers at all costs, whether they were underworld or Russian, and she was also lost in the world of money. She hasn't slept in a long time, and she's been relying on drugs to fight her spirits, but Molly's admirable thing is that she knows she has to strictly follow the boundaries of the law, no commissions, no cheating, and no dating gamblers until she realizes that she has lost a lot of money Only then did cheating begin, and it completely started breaking the law. All this made her collapse, and she forgot her original intention: to take a year off to work to earn money to go to law school.
Molly was lucky and unfortunate when a man broke into her home one day, threatened her with handing over all her money and jewellery and beat her to the brim with blood. Molly didn't go out for ten days, and she didn't dare to go to the hospital, because when she went to the hospital, the doctor would definitely notify the police. It will also implicate her illegal gambling game. She has no money, no job, 35 years old, scarred, and doesn't know the meaning of life. One day the FBI arrested her and charged her with illegal conduct at the casino. Molly found a lawyer to defend herself. The lawyer's young daughter was reading a book called "The Crucible" (The Witch of Salem). Molly went to see the lawyer for the first time, and the youngest daughter met her first. She told the youngest daughter this The book lied, the witch was not burned to death, the little girl was stunned, Molly went on to say, they were hanged, crushed, killed. . . As a result, Molly told the lawyer that I really can't betray the client, so I have to plead guilty. At this point I thought Jessica Chastain's face was too beautiful. She has such a calm and rational and beautiful face that really has a very, very sense of justice. But the good thing is that the judge ruled that the charges against her were dropped, which was really shit luck.
There is also a line interspersed here that is the relationship between Molly and her father. It can be understood as a complaint about the influence of the family of origin on a person. All the father's dedication to the family was wiped out by the derailment. Molly's dependence on money may have come from discovering her father's infidelity since childhood. Among them, her concept was very clearly interpreted by a plot in which she complained to her family about Freud's theory at the dinner table. She is very independent and feminist, thanks to her teachers (I really envy her)
So from a larger time span, Molly is unhappy just because of the family of origin. But she only remembers the bad and forgets the good.
Back to my friend's question, why is she so good and how is she different.
It’s also a family of origin. Molly’s father was very strict with her when she was training freeskiing since she was a child. When Molly was a child, they went to practice. She felt too tired and wanted to go home after practice in the afternoon. Her mother also pleaded with her father and said that her daughter had practiced. one day. Dad said okay, if you can synonymous with 'too tired' we'll get back. The little girl thought about it and said 'weak'. "tired" was just a euphemism for "weak" this is what her dad wanted her to remember, obviously the psychologist dad won, the little girl said, no, I have to practice again!
Then she had a problem with her spine. One day, she suddenly fell ill and was taken to the hospital. The doctor performed an operation on her. Her spine was fixed with steel pins and connected together. The doctor said that she recovered but could no longer ski. After a few months of rest, she started skiing together again, and she got better and better, and squeezed into the top three in the world.
When she had an accident in the game, she had actually done everything perfectly, the fixation of the shoes, the balance of the core, the visual direction, all of which were standard, but there were unforeseen circumstances, and her shoelaces were blocked by a The twig was cut perfectly, she was abandoned and fell down, I thought she was going to be maimed from now on, she passed out, and when her dad came to her, she immediately woke up and said, "Dad, I'm fine", but she was just herself stand up
She is so fearless and powerful in her heart, and I think this is what sets her apart from ordinary people. She looks a little unhuman in this way. Being cruel to himself to the extreme, he also showed his strong heart after "removing the weak". I took this to answer a friend's question.
The movie evades the stereotype of Jasmine as a woman. Except for her sexy dress, she has no bisexual dramas, no sister dramas, and no "girls should be better to themselves" thinking in the movie. She is a soldier, constantly sprinting forward. , tirelessly.
No one wants to go crazy, but tireless sprinting doesn't make people crazy, only a growing void inside. Molly reconciles with her father at the end of the movie, I hope she can restore her humanity and start over. After all, at the end of the movie Molly said that she realized that she was so hard to be defeated-- I am very hard to kill
A person who can say such a thing has come back again and is a hero again.
