a rich poor man

Once upon a time, there was a rich old man who spent his whole life pursuing more wealth. He was good at calculating, and was good at probing the details of his opponents. Earn more money, but be reluctant to spend your own money on others like you are stingy with your own energy. He became very pure when he was old, as if he had polished everything about himself with his life and concentrated on pursuing more money. His pureness can penetrate everything in the material plane of the world like a sharp sword, but when he wants to open a small hole in love and eternity to spy, he can't get anything, just like a knife and a broken water. For his children and his family, he thought it would be a distraction, so he chose to ignore it and leave it behind, but the years would not treat him differently because he had thousands of wealth, and age spots still stubbornly climbed up to him His face, but his inner lust has no strong logic to control and use, let it expand and occupy everything, and at night after the attack is over, he will suffer from insomnia, fear, and fear that his fame will be destroyed. in once. The poor old man has truly become a slave to those money and wealth, and he doesn't know how to use them, enjoy them, and do what a human being should do.

This play runs through the image of Guy, the richest man, but the main line of the plot logic is that the child was kidnapped. Around this kidnapping incident, many people are busy, even if they find out the truth, it is difficult to escape the selfish thought of old Guy Guy. Then we had to arrange for a smart person, a knight, a subordinate character, to expose him angrily, criticize him, and ignite the ridicule and contempt for all the foreshadowing in the play, and the old man finally regained some humanity. Revolving around Guy's billions of wealth, his son and daughter-in-law all wanted to be exposed, so his son fell into the world of drugs, and his grandchildren were also implicated. Wealth has turned into a devil to some extent, controlling the release of evil, stirring the vortex of life, and introducing the filth into the clear stream, so far no one has been left behind. Therefore, the pros and cons of wealth lies in the ability to control him and use it, otherwise it will be a burden and a whirlpool, which can take away all the original beauty.

Although this drama is set in the 1970s and 1980s, it is not outdated at all, but full of retro manor-style atmosphere. Except for the profligate and profligate clips of the rich second generation, what we feel is the same The rich people in "The Wolf of Wall Street" are different, at least not rich, but aristocrats who have always been rich. This is exactly the opposite of the current money impetuousness. The pity of the old man Guy is that no one inherits his ability and property, but as far as he is concerned, he is already an aristocrat created by the essence of a shrewd businessman. Enough to become a model and role model for the rich in this era, especially the nouveau riche.
