Hello, my name is Mike and I am a student at the American Law School. That night, while my girlfriend was asleep, I took out the cash hidden in various parts of the house, and was ready to go out...
The Chinese translation of the film in 1998 is very Hong Kong style. At first glance, I think of Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Stephen Chow, all kinds of magnificent casinos, the special functions of the gambling kings, the god-like old tricks, etc... But this film is not related to Hong Kong. The film is not a style at all.
I wanted to give up the show in the middle of it, because the bad friend worm played by Norton, the "most handsome Hulk", was really annoying, all kinds of delays, and promoted the development of the plot:) After all, in my opinion, a smart and handsome young man gave up gambling, The story of studying hard and becoming an elite lawyer is more inspiring. But after reading it, I feel that this is the life of a gambling king. He has talent, skills, can afford to lose, and is not greedy. Maybe this film should be the history of the growth of the gambling king. Mike has a good friend who will give him advice and help; then there is a bad friend who will pull him back to the casino to find himself after he washes his hands in a golden pot; then there is a life mentor , guiding the way forward when I'm lost... There is also a beautiful girlfriend. To be honest, I really like her. Knowing that her boyfriend lied and went to the casino, I resolutely left this relationship. Saying "you could always count on me, mike" "call me, if you need a lawyer" when saying goodbye at the end are very simple two lines, but they contain all the feelings for the male protagonist.
The beginning and end of the film seem to draw a circle. The protagonist played by Xiao Ma won back the 30,000 yuan he lost at the beginning and set foot on the way to Las Vegas. What will happen next? Did he fail miserably as he started, or did he win? I heard there is a sequel, but it's 9102 now...
In fact, watching this film has two deep feelings. First, gambling is never, ever, a simple matter of luck. There have been many stories of losers who went bankrupt and separated from their wives and children. My distaste for mahjong poker is beyond words. If you're just having fun, it's okay to sit with friends and family to pass the time. But human nature is like this, like stimulation and greed and arrogance, and lack of understanding of their own abilities. Easily fell into someone else's small trap, or a big trap, and then blamed bad luck? Second, the courage to face your own life is the real warrior. There is so much to give up when one chooses one's own life. A stable life, academic future, girlfriend... It takes a lot of perseverance to make such a choice without a way out.
The storyline of the movie is not really thrilling, but I was really attracted, and I even forgot the protagonist's halo and sweated in the last game. After listening to the BGM after watching it, I feel like the next story begins...
