Who doesn't love the fat man?

Although the "Genius Ripley" before "The Bourne" and the movie he wrote and directed have forgotten the name, he likes Matt Damon.

I remember a magazine said that Damon is the most worthwhile actor in Hollywood, with a typical low investment and high return. In fact, Matt will choose the script himself, so anyone who can write the script himself won't just pick it up without even looking at the script.


Back to this film, Damon’s middle-aged dress is still a little tender, but he still managed to make a big joke with his wife, BOSS, FBI and unrelated lawyers, his friends and everyone except himself.


As for the old Damon’s constant chatter, I understand that people with high IQ are talking to themselves subconsciously. Indeed, the genius brain like the old Matt can’t stop and stop at any time. Turn around and keep making arrangements for your own money. Of course, the old Matt is still a game away, too simple to calculate his own BOSS and FBI, this is a moment of confusion for the clever I.

Except for the old Matt, he admires his wife very much, standing behind him from beginning to end, and never suspected that everything in life is based on lies. When Matt finally came out of the prison, he was indeed like a middle-aged uncle, and his wife still did not give up on him. The two hugged me really moved me a little bit.

A few more words, Americans always like to make jokes about the FBI. From the Coen brothers' "Burn After Reading" to this film, the FBI is always a little dull, although there are one or two smart people in the matter. Asked why the old Matt would take such a big risk to report to his boss, and the agent who completely trusted the old Matt took out the family photo he used to fool them and said with a serious face; because of this The photo reminds us all the time that he is just an ordinary person, a person with justice in his heart. This is similar to the ending of the Coen brothers in "Burn After Reading". The FBI boss asked the people below, what are the lessons we learned from this incident? The subordinate shook his head, there was nothing.

I have always liked this kind of cold humor, British comedy, don't need to be too explicit, just click and stop, the lines can be aftertaste for a long time.


By the way, it’s getting harder and harder to sit down and watch movies. The movie theaters are all popcorn movies. I spend an hour or two at home looking for movies and then find online resources. If I'm lucky, the time it takes to watch a good movie. The energy is no less than a day's work.

Of course, if I choose it, no matter how much time it takes, it is worth it. Whoever makes us so difficult to satisfy, just like the middle-aged Matt who just got rich.

The Informant! quotes

  • Mark Whitacre: I read this study in Time magazine when I was at Cornell, which is an Ivy League school, and there were people, including my mother, who never believed I would make it into an Ivy League school. Maybe Ginger, who I met in marching in the eighth grade. And the study said people had nice, sympathetic feelings about people who were adopted, and treated them better. So I made up this adoption story, and people *did* treat me better. And when I got a job, one of my professors told people at Ralston Purina that I was this amazing guy that had accomplished all this in spite of being adopted. And so it was really *other* people who spread the story, not me. Although I admit it was wrong to start it and everything, it was other people who kept it going, even the people at ADM.

  • Mark Whitacre: Mark Whitacre, secret agent 0014.

    Rusty Williams: Why 0014?

    Mark Whitacre: Cause I'm twice as smart as 007.
