This is a new movie released last year. The title seems to belong to a suave, polite drama, but it's not. It tells the story of drug dealer Mitch Pearson. Mickey started as a small gangster with a ruthless heart. After years of adventure, he gradually built his own cannabis empire. After becoming rich, his appearance, demeanor, and demeanor have naturally changed a lot. Raymond, his most powerful man, said: "He has become a gentleman now." Not only Mickey, but also Raymond, his rival Matthew, the Chinese drug dealer Sir George, etc., all of them are well-dressed and elegant. Make friends with the nobles and the royal family, just like a gentleman in the upper class of the British society. Time flew by, and when he was middle-aged, Mickey suddenly thought: "I followed a muddy road and climbed to today's height. My beautiful hands are stained with blood. If this industry is legal, it will be regarded as respectable. Under the umbrella of the industry system, such a business would need an agent with a clean past. Sadly, I don’t have one.” So he planned to sell his dozen or so secretive cannabis plantations and retire himself. What the audience did not expect, but Mickey had already thought about it, was that this idea of quitting the arena would also attract a bloody storm. This group of "gentlemen" has revealed the true colors of the past. There are some descriptions of Chinese people in the film. Such as George, dry eye and so on. In this regard, Fletcher made it very clear that they are "the offspring of the dirty dragon". This may be a very common view of the Chinese in the Western world. I think that might be the case in reality. This is the truth of "southern orange and north citrus". After a lot of hard work, there are very few people who can succeed in official career and technology. If you want to live a serious life, you can only starve to death, so you have to open a casino, open a smoke shop, and smuggle drugs. There are not many Chinese genes left on them. They have become wolves in the jungle. In the film, the dry eye tries to get past Matthew, who whispers to him: "You've only been in this shallow pool for two minutes, I've been swimming with sharks in the ocean for 20 years. I'll tell you. What is the ending, you will drown." As expected, he said. There is a line in the film. Mickey's wife said, "The law is what guides crime." This is a bit of an interesting statement. Think of a metaphor. In the past, we built the wall, and after repairing it, we had to insert some glass ballasts on the wall to prevent thieves from entering. So someone said: "Putting glass ballast means to tell the thief that the wall can be turned over, but be careful not to let the glass cut your hand." This analogy, like the above sentence, sounds absurd, but it is not without reason. The performances of the actors in the film are excellent, especially Matthew McConaughey, who plays Mickey, and Private Human Detective Fletcher's Hugh Grant. I didn't like Grant's films before, always felt very creamy. This time, I imitated Sean Connery and grew a beard, which is very good-looking.
