Everyone has their own troubles.
A basketball student has a talent for playing basketball and has a patient at home. He wants to enter the professional league early and become a star to make money to support his family, but the coach said that you can accumulate more auras in your senior year to enter the professional league, but his knee is injured, maybe He couldn't make it to college to become a star, so his talent became a thing to torment his life, and he had to take a modern literature class in order to get enough credits.
As for Miss Phelps, she has a gift for writing, and the homework she handed in was given a high A++ score by the male protagonist Jim. Her future as a writer may be promising, but she is troubled by ordinary families with some problems. Can't show up, nor dare to show up.
As for the male protagonist, the male protagonist’s grandfather is ranked 17th in California, but his parents have problems, his mother is too strong, his father died early, and his mother gets married and divorced again and again. Keen, he said in class that he was the first to interpret the five shots used by the protagonist in Camus's "The Outsider" to kill the Arab, and why a six-ball revolver fired five shots. I didn’t notice this problem at all. Although I read the novel The Outsider several times in high school, until Jim said that the last bullet was for himself, oh my goodness, isn’t Camus’s existentialism always Are you discussing suicide? It can be said that I didn't have a new understanding of Camus' suicide until I saw this movie. The protagonist of the outsider "I" is a person who has no trace of survival. He has no sense of his mother's death. He killed an Arab in an unclear chaos. During the trial, he did not defend himself and left the prosecutors. He accused him of killing an Arab with the heart of killing his mother, and did not confess to the priest before he was executed, and even imagined the crowd cheering wildly in front of the gallows. Suicide with a pistol, and being killed by society for various distorted reasons, are actually suicides, but their value is not the same. Suicide with a pistol is a matter of obscurity and is a very hidden self, and it is judged by the society. That is a way of solving contradictions under the influence of various social relations. He used the killing of strangers to intensify social contradictions, making the originally seemingly stable society instantly ridiculous. His not confession is a kind of resistance, and his Death has meaning. As long as the person who pays attention to this trial, he will put a label on himself. The judging process is the process of discovering meaning, the process of initiating thinking, and the initiative to reflect on this. The social process, as for hanging, there is no difference between death at the age of 30 and death at the age of 70. The reserved bullet has already killed "I". Jim's thesis attracted the attention and interest of the university, so he was able to enter the university and become an associate professor teaching modern literature, but he found that his associate professor was meaningless to all students. He had literary talent to hide himself, or not need it. His guidance is also a literary genius. People who don't need him either go to class and play with mobile phones, and think it doesn't matter, just like another girl said: You can't say that she is the most genius, everyone's creative style is different. There is also a boy who is similar to a schoolmaster, who treats the history of literature completely arguably, unable to give his own judgment. So Jim was very disappointed in his own existence. He gambled and lost again and again, and he didn't know why. Until this time, he was betting more and more fiercely Bo behavior, first completely cut off the connection between him and his mother-this is what he really wanted to cut off. Then, it involved basketball students and the personal comfort of the blonde and beautiful girl students, so it was actually his own increasingly dangerous behavior, which caused his future behavior to have an increasingly important impact on other people’s lives. For example, if he loses the bet, not only will he die, but also the blonde girl will die. The student may be forced to pay off his debts. The student who was originally meaningless to him becomes his most important person, the person he misses, And students who think he is meaningless, when things come, they have to take responsibility for his life because of deep communication with him. In this way, he felt that his gambling was meaningful. He borrowed 150,000 yuan to the basketball student to treat his father. Whether he wants to play a match-fixing or not, if he plays a match-fixing, he can use 150,000 as a reward. If he doesn’t Playing match-fixing, Jim is killed, the money will still be used to treat illness. In addition, the money to bet, one-time roulette, wins and pays off debts, loses, he will be a hundred. Anyway, he doesn’t know about the future, but there is a small loophole in this movie. The loophole is based on the plot. They all win first and then lose. The gambling in the movie is first win and then lose. The reason why he dared to change to a casino gambling that he had never been to before was because he felt that there was a high probability that he would win the first bet. If he wins, he will go. The dealer is likely to grab him, but he said that he was betting for two loan sharks, so the contradiction should be resolved by two black guys. He stopped betting. In the plot, he wins first and then loses every time. In the movie, he wins first and then loses in the gambling.

The people who lend usury are actually very poor. The trick of this business is not how to lend, but how to ensure that even the principal and interest are recovered. The risk is high and scary, but also very entangled. Don’t lend, don’t make money, let’s lend. , If you can't get it back, you will lose your money. The three black guys both love and hate people like Jim.
From this point of view, although the activity of gambling is meaningless, it is just a probability, but the stakes are very meaningful. He does not use regular movable and real estate as collateral, but uses various important relationships that constitute his own life as collateral. Things. Between winning and losing, the relationship between the past, the present and the future is completely different. He doesn’t want the relationship to lose, and he wins the relationship he wants. Why he can’t always win to the end because there is nothing worth winning. He wants to lose everything he doesn’t want. It is understood as Regardless of whether you leave or leave, or understand it as rewriting the life script, you need to pay a price, a huge price. Students like Phelps don’t know their own value. Only Jim’s insights gave her a new understanding of her life. She had to fuck with him to establish a kind of professionalism. She belongs to the relationship of her own beacon of humanity, but she has to pay the price of bearing the consequences of his dangerous behavior, she doesn't know. Just like Jim and his mother, although the maternal love is very good, Jim has to endure the hurt of her continuous marriage and divorce, and will always endure her judgment of herself. The same is true for his grandfather. If he wants to inherit his property, he must accept His set of worldview values is Jim as a grandson. He is worthless without inheritance. The greatness of Jesus lies in the fact that the appearance of Jesus changed the social relations among the people at that time. Judaism is a conservative religion and believes that as long as one’s own people live well, it’s because of God’s assurance that they will be affected in history. The oppressive thing is brooding, using this brooding history to imprison the new generation and even generations of Jews, and also use God’s guarantee to poison the Jews forever. Therefore, Jesus said, don’t be so narrow and love everyone, he His remarks give others hope that as long as they love their neighbors, it is possible to bridge the gap between religion, race, power, class, gender, occupation, intelligence, and wealth. Then the benefits caused by the existence of these gaps Didn’t the moat collapse? Doesn’t it affect the vested interest groups, so he must die. He died instead of fulfilling his purpose. He died as a martyr, triggering endless thoughts about his death. . Jim doesn’t want to be Jesus, but Jim seems to have mastered the know-how of Jesus and become the core of some interpersonal relationships, rather than bystanders. Are outsiders really outsiders? No, he used his own death to make all ignoring the existence of real life. Those who entered the game. Jim's old relationship is empty, and Jim's new life relationship is connected to other people's flesh and blood.
The fat white guy played by John Good impressed me deeply. He said that people should have the ability to say fuck you. He will not lend money to those who are crying and want to draw attention to people who pretend to be poor ghosts, nor will they lend to poor households who are hopeless and powerless. He will only borrow money. To those who can say fuck you. Jim manipulated relationships. Dexter was a college tennis rookie. He introduced Dexter to his mother or a wealthy person as a tennis coach. Dexter owes favors to others, so he is willing to go to the casino to place bets on his behalf. Jim is the only person besides the doctor who knows that Rama has a knee problem, and he is willing to give him the money he needs urgently. Since he can give him the money, it is possible to leak the fact that his knee is injured, so Rama helped him play a match-fix. Originally, Jim thought it was very difficult to play match-fixing, but it was an eight-point win in Lamarr.
Jim's bet mainly came from loan sharks. At the opening of the Korean casino, he took 10,000 bets and won hundreds of thousands, and lost all. Then the Korean old man said that you still owe me 260,000. The Scarfaced Negro loaned him 50,000 and lost all of it. His mother gave him 260,000 and lost everything. Borrowed 260,000 white fat guys and 150,000 old Korean guys based on their ability. The money his mother gave was mainly used to sever the family relationship between mother and child. The money borrowed by usury, according to his understanding, is venture capital. At first he asked the fat white man to borrow money, the fat white man said a lot of nonsense, and finally said, as long as you say that you are rubbish or something, I will lend it to you. Jim said, be refreshed, what do you want me to say, the fat white man said I want you to say: I am not a man. I will lend it to you. Of course it is not borrowing, this is not an investment, this is a personality insult, not an equal relationship. The black Scarface asked him the phone number of Rama without explaining the situation at first, but he gave it a fake. Later, Scarface said that he would rely on pull codes to play a match-fix. Jim went to ask Lamarr and learned that winning only eight points is technically very common, and it is not against Lamarr's own morals. So he invested in Rama, saying that the proposal was very tempting when investing: Do you want to make 150,000 yuan in 2 hours? In the end, when he put more than 400,000 on the roulette, the two loan sharks were more concerned than Jim himself. After winning, he said that I was betting for these two gentlemen. Why did he have an unprecedented ease and joy after winning. Because he organized a business entirely on his own, and it succeeded. The loan shark, money-fixing and match-fixing, are all methods. He used his excellent organizational and planning skills. When all the people involved in the gambling appeared in their respective positions according to the arrangements he had booked, he did what he arranged to do. , He has already won, and the final result is just a result. If he loses, he will die, but he has achieved a complex division of labor, the so-called great achievements in human history, such as those so-called turning point battles, Qin Shihuang repaired the Great Wall. , Li Bing and his son repaired Dujiangyan, Dayu ruled the waters, Chairman Mao unified China, the French Revolution, and Steve Jobs’ second entrepreneurial venture came up with the Apple mobile phone... They are all kinds of people who have an idea, then organize resources, use resources, coordinate contradictions, and finally achieve their goals. Behavior, human beings are greater than animals in that they can act and succeed with a purpose, rather than relying on instinct to act and succeed. At this point, Jim and Jia Yueting are a bit like. Jia Yueting did it. Although he ran away from the United States, it was just a result of throwing the dice. Jim is the same. What his grandfather said, I want to know if I don’t leave a legacy to What is your value? who wants the world at their feet? It's hard to understand, isn't it? Jim replied, I will do my best. Grandpa said: You are me now, see if you have this capability. This dialogue is very simple, but it is indeed the theme of the entire movie. Everything Jim does in the future is to prove his value, what value is, value is to be able to control everyone. His mother didn't love him, so she gave money to help him. His mother treated him as a trouble, a problem that couldn't be solved. The content of the chat between him and her mother by the pool was that his mother said that eventually I also had to say goodbye to the one I love. I did it many, many times. Jim asked, you did this when my dad died. NS? When her mother gave him 260,000 yuan, she was very sad and determined. Why? Jim did not take the initiative to ask his mother for money, but his mother took the initiative to give him money, because the debtors kept calling her and harassing her. As a lady, she was embarrassed to have such a son after the bank came out. Why do you perform so excessively? Just give yourself an explanation. I don't want the problem of this son, and don't ask me again in the future. She is not solving the problem, she is avoiding the problem.
