In 2011, D went to university in Edinburgh, D came from a wealthy family in China, and he made a lot of friends. Introduced by a friend, he joined the school community organization Lifeshow, which is mainly a newspaper about school life, published every week. Because the traditional paper media has been excluded from the media, the attention of Lifeshow has been declining in the school. Therefore, the president of the newspaper had to ask the following members to pull some sponsorships to support printing. D is very active in the newspaper office and is often praised by everyone. One week before Mother's Day, the newspaper planned to plan a Mother's Day theme to attract attention. D gave a plan that everyone admired, organized a condolence activity for widowed mothers (children who died), and then invited charities to raise funds. , Of course, this event needs to find several businesses to provide money to support. D met L in the AGTA class. L is an Indian and has a good family background. L revealed to D that he is the TOP manager of a social networking site. At that time, TOP was very popular in the school, and he also invited D to participate in the luxurious party held by the TOP website at Arthur's Seat, and parties like this were relatively secret, and they needed a secret invitation to participate! When D told L that he needed sponsorship, L offered to sponsor himself, and promised D to give $1,000 in sponsorship and free admission to the luxury party of 50 TOP social networking sites. website. D is very happy to come back to discuss with the council. He said: "This is a brand new opportunity. This is the best online and offline cooperation between new media and old media. Time is urgent, and we need to seize this opportunity." Then the newspaper vacated 2 of the 8 pages to cover the event, and on the front page wrote an advertisement for the full cooperation of the big TOP social networking site and sending out party invitations. This issue of the newspaper has been printed with 500 copies, hoping to get more attention from the school. However, the day before the publication, the newspaper had not received a sponsorship of $1,000. The president needed D to coordinate, and L kept putting off D, telling D that the TOP Council was discussing the synchronization of the website update. Two days after the publication, the newspaper suddenly received an infringement complaint from the TOP website. The TOP website did not participate in the event, and there were no party tickets. The website also reported it to the school, hoping that the school would deal with this infringement. In the absence of any evidence to verify that L is the administrator of the TOP website, the newspaper published the information on the TOP website privately, losing its credibility, and the school sent the newspaper a penalty of suspending publication for one semester. Everyone finally realized that L was only one of the members, and L promised D these conditions for the sake of face. Finally, at the council, after everyone voted, D needed to pay for the cost of printing the newspaper and donate 1,000 to charity. dollars, and quit the newspaper.
When I saw this movie, I suddenly thought of this story. Who knows if L is an undercover agent of the TOP social network? back
Let's start with a few characters to talk about the human nature in this movie.
The male protagonist Ai Wen, Ai Wen in the whole film, his heart has been changing with the rhythm of the film, from meeting Sidney, to conspiracy to deceive, to contact with FBI agent Rich, and then to the city. Long McCann, Ivan's life has been changing!
Humans are a high-level animal, and we label ourselves as high-level animals because we have an additional psychology of desire and temptation. If we are no different from other animals when we face the natural law of "survival of the fittest", we need to constantly optimize ourselves to make ourselves look stronger and have a better living space. Therefore, we will do whatever we can to make ourselves survive. However, when our life is stable, the desires and temptations of high-level animals begin to be exalted. When an FBI agent wanted to use some performance to promote himself, he used a method to test human nature-desire, temptation , which in itself is a major flaw of human nature, pulls a bunch of MPs into the trap and arrests them. This is a humorous game. If you use the shortcomings of human nature as a game, you are likely to be against God, because you are not the main carrier, the genius is, God created this characteristic of man, You can never control human nature. In this process, you are very likely to enter this game because of your human participation, and Ai Wen is one of them.
In the whole film, Ai Wen is unwilling to live with the status quo. Ai Wen met his cheating partner Sidney at a friend's pool party. Ai Wen likes this woman. You know, Ai Wen is attending this party. At that time, he was already married and had a cute little boy. Ai Wen wanted to divorce his wife all the time. The reason was that his wife was a house girl who refused to go out or talk, so she couldn't communicate with her. Ni, it can be regarded as Ai Wen's derailment, and it is also driven by human desire. This is Ai Wen's first psychological change. Later, Ivan and Sidney started a scam game. Sidney and Ivan have been cooperating and directing and acting, playing the role of a scam. A lot of people are tricked into this game and are willing to give them $5,000 just because they can get more loans. The director slowly opened the prelude to the film from the gag of this small con Use some legal common sense to avoid some risks. When the third male protagonist FBI agent Rich appeared on the scene, Ivan was always vigilant and did not accept the check given by the agent, but Sidney took it, so the girl Taken away by the FBI, Aiwen has nothing to do. Having said that, let's continue to talk about Ivan's changes. On the third day of Sidney's imprisonment, Ivan appeared in prison. For Sidney and his own interests, he agreed to the agent's request. This is Irwin's second change. The story also unfolded. In the following plot, Ivan contacted Mayor McCann, and cooperated with Detective Rich to formulate another game scam, and let McCann slowly walk into the game. sink in. In the process of the game scam, Ai Wen changed his strategy because of the mayor who really loved the citizens, the people in the poor neighborhoods, and regarded himself as a friend. This is Ai Wen's third change. This is probably a candy given to us by the director, otherwise the film will be too dark, everyone is cheating for their own interests, just like some people choose to do some charitable things after doing heinous things. . Throughout the film, a question is thrown: Does Ivan really love Sidney? Or does Sidney really love Ivan? During the three days Sidney was locked in the dark room, Richie had a conversation with her, which I think was also an introduction given by the director. Richie said: "Do you think he really likes you? He really Does she love you? If she loves you, he will come to you as soon as you come in, but he doesn't." In the end, Richie said abruptly, "I love you." This conversation seems to be a jealous one people say. But it buried an introduction for the relationship between Ivan and Sidney. Let's take a look at the heroine in the film - Sidney.
I always thought that it was Sidney who was good at taking advantage of human nature. After watching the whole movie, I kept thinking, how did Sidney go to that pool party, did the strip girl go to the party to make a living? Why did she come into contact with Ai Wen? Sidney himself may be the fate of a diaosi. When he encounters Ai Wen, a master deceiver, he is like a Chinese person when he is dealing with someone. The first time he met, he said three words more frequently: you how old are you? where are you from? Do you have a (boy) girlfriend? When this person tells you that he is from Wenzhou, and that he is doing real estate here, your heart will immediately emerge. So, this diaosi fell in love with the man who fooled him, and was willing to deceive the rivers and lakes with him. Did Sidney love this man? In the film, we have been rendering a theme with us: when you can't get what you want, you will do whatever you can to get it, so that you don't think much about it, this thing is really you Want it? That's what Sidney did, asking the question again: Did Sidney really love this man? There are at least two places in this film that can explain that the girl may not be: The first is that when the actor, Detective Richie, appeared, this person was obviously a handsome guy, and the reason why the director was able to find Bradley Library Pearl came to play this role, first of all to fascinate a large number of female audiences (of course Bell is also a man, but Bell is a very uncle in this film), and secondly, to make Sidney change his mind and love this handsome guy. , When Richie first appeared on the stage, he said that he had two meals with Sidney, and Ivan didn't know it, which seemed a bit unexpected. You may say that Ivan's surprised expression was because he was in Acting, in fact, in this scene, I think it is very important that Ai Wen is acting with Sidney, but in the process of dialogue, Ai Wen got some other information, so, in the process of dialogue, Ai Wen There is something real beyond acting. At least, the girl also admitted that she likes handsome guys. The second time, Sidney swore to tell Ai Wen that for her and Ai Wen's sake, she had to make the detective fully believe in herself, so the director gave another shot, that is, in a room, The girl is dressed very sexy, attracting the detective to approach step by step, intending to have sex on the desk, but in the end the detective stopped, if the detective further exerts the charm of male hormones, do you think Sidney is Because you want the detective to fully believe in yourself, and then willing to go to bed? This is a serious joke! Later, the girl cooperated with the detective to do a lot of things,
In the end, Sidney seemed to let Agent Rich trust him and left a way back, but if you think about it carefully, what Sidney did did not help them in the future. to what effect. In the back of the film, it was Aiwen himself who came up with the method, using the friends he met at the pool party to play the lawyer of the Mafia, and took the $2 million as a counterweight. For Sidney, Richie may only be ambiguous with each other. Richie is more concerned about being praised and promoted. While working, he can also be ambiguous with Sidney. Why not do it? ? And Sidney, because of the same excuse, gets along with the detectives and enjoys the joy of being with the handsome guy. Of course, in this part, the film does not give many shots!
Therefore, Ai Wen and Sidney, throughout the film, are using each other to achieve their desired goals, but in the process, the two people have undergone some changes because of desire and temptation. There are many scenes in the film. It is described that Ivan eats Sidney's vinegar. Sidney tells Ivan that as long as he divorces his wife, they will have a result. In fact, this also vaguely reveals another flaw in human nature, that is, the never-ending possession want. When we have no money, we long for money, we cry so hard for love, just because we don't get the love we want! Isn't that what Ivan and Sidney are like? They both hope to occupy each other and serve themselves, but is this really the case? Do you really love this person? No, you are too possessive, you want to have everything!
I think the most tragic thing in this film is Ai Wen's original wife Rosalind. She is a typical person with no opinion and simple mind. Although she has no opinion, she also takes advantage of the shortcomings of human nature and catches Ai Wen's inconvenience. Divorce, saying that this woman is a tragedy, the tragedy is not how much she seems to love Ai Wen and does not want to break up the family, because there is no example of divorce in her ancestors, so I use some handles to bind Ai Wen. The real tragedy is the meaning of this woman's existence, which has no meaning at all! She bound this man, and after leaving this man, she would be at a loss, so when Ai Wen proposed a divorce, she vowed: "My grandma has never been divorced, my mother has never been divorced, come to me , I also won't get a divorce." And when she met Mafia subordinates and found rebirth, she took the initiative to tell Ivan: "I'm reading a book recently, called the role of ideas... I think we It should be divorced." Then you realized that this sister is really simple-minded, just to survive, to get some attention, the child's family is not important, what do you mean by her existence! When watching movies, I am always attracted to some characters, many of them are fabricated by screenwriters, but most of them are based on facts. The character Rosalind seems to live around us, in every corner - backsliding, In the film, she can talk to the mayor's wife about nail polish, she can talk to a bunch of casino operators about the style of house decoration, she can play tricks with you Emphasizing 'the power of the mind', she can also find a man to cry and hug at random in the casino. In real life, it seems that similar shadows can be found. How many people have read a paragraph of Weibo, a paragraph of friends, or a constellation, and will share these words on a certain occasion and enjoy teaching. happy, and often, this kind of person is the most tragic. Live forever in a virtual imagination.
In this film, there is another character that I have to mention, and that is the top leader of the FBI in this film. He is slick, different from the shrewd and cautious FBI agents in the United States in our impression. It's more like a male model. He is sitting in his office, smoking a cigarette. This scene is very similar to Corleone in The Godfather, a trader who holds power in his hands! He was able to agree to some of the help that his subordinate Rich needed, just because he could get benefits from it, that is, to catch those who took bribes, and then get promoted and rich, reported by the media, and recognized by the public. He is a rotating shaft in the movie. Without the planes, luxury hotels, and huge deposits provided by the top leader to deceive, the game machine would not be able to rotate, and the plans would all go to waste. He seems to be a bit like the mayor in the movie, but This mayor is doing "real things" to build his reputation. Many people say that the mayor is a kind and simple person. He regards Ai Wen as a friend. In my opinion, the reason why the mayor does this , is also driven by his own human desires. He legalized gambling in this state because he wanted the local people to have more employment opportunities. Everyone has a job, and everyone has a job. Maybe the mayor will be elected as The governor and even the congressman, but the plan lacks funds, and the appearance of Ivan solves this problem. Driven by desire, the mayor must "flatter", so treat Ivan as a good buddy! The most comedic thing about this film is that at the end of the film, Ritchie finally got nothing, and the Mafia was not caught, but caught a bunch of officials who fell into the trap, and this top leader's dream came true and received great attention!
After watching this movie, I was reminded of another movie
At the end of the film, Ai Wen reaps happiness again. He lives with Sidney and gets custody of his children. The original wife is also stupid and naive to leave with the mafia's younger brother. Ai Wen uses A card for ingenuity reduced the mayor's sentence to 18 months and allowed the Mafia to escape the law. Evan is a complete winner in this film. I think the screenwriter Eric has ulterior motives. He let Ivan tremble in front of the character of the mayor. People can't always be evil, and they can't always cheat. They must have a real friend, and the mayor will Ai Wen became his true friend. However, in the real society, there are many people like Ai Wen, but is there such a person who will make Ai Wen tremble in this more complex society?
Here, let me talk about the story I told at the beginning, D is the owner of TOP social network, L is D's partner, TOP became more and more popular in that semester, and lifeshow eventually became a supplement of TOP. At the end of this article, a question or an unanswered question is raised-does Ivan really have a heart attack?
