The translation of the titles of "uncut gems" and "Rough Diamond" is not very accurate. The gem in the movie is actually a rough opal stone with an open window. It is more appropriate to translate it into "Gambler Stone". A modern version of The Little Match Girl. Adam Sandler's hero is a jeweler who owes a fortune, and all his hopes lie in an uncut opal rough. Whenever he seized a little bit of hope, he put it into the casino, and God had been cruelly playing with his fate, and when he thought he had finally made it all the way, the match went out. Kevin Garnett was his most important customer, the match that lighted his destiny, but he didn't catch it. The rhythm of the movie is fast and the control is very good. In the last 20 minutes, Adam Sandler's acting skills are outstanding. This guy has been making some mental retardation films. This film has completely entered the field of acting. The director and the lead actors are great. The wolf king played the role of the true character, and Tilda Swinton also rolled a kick, did not show his face, and played an auction company manager with his voice. The girl who plays the little three is impressive. good. 7 points.

    4.5 is in the same vein as "Good Times", a fable in the dark night under a bustling city. This time, Safdie will focus on money, the monster of modern society. When Jewish miners in Ethiopia risked their lives, the gems dug up became New York The motivation for the Jewish people to make a fortune has become the power for sports stars to gain confidence, and the hope for saving broken families. In a world where everything is centered on money, it seems that everything can be measured by money, fate, love, and affection. And friendship, the existence of the Jewish community has also become the target of Safdie's irony. The universe implied in the gem at the beginning and end of the movie is also the acme of this irony. Compared with the vast universe, you think it is successful. And flashy is just an ethereal moment, can Howard, who was lying on the ground at the end, consume this sudden "lucky"? When a million dollars suddenly comes, all the irritability and stress are gone, but in the New York game of Jews, blacks, whites, Europeans, luck itself is a false proposition, because the rules of the game are different, your luck is in other There is nothing but emptiness in the universe

    Absurdity, aggression, madness, tingling, the gushing desire and the fate of the wind and clouds face each other. The director twists the male protagonist and continues to run rampant on the streets of New York, looking for a breach in the tight frame and editing. Compared with "God Knows" and "Good Times", he is more interested in surviving and begging for mercy in the social cracks from the perspective of introspection.
