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.

    The Safdie Brothers' amazing new film, Manic Movie of the Year. 1. Audio-visual integrity and explosiveness are extremely high, with a good hand-held mirror, restrained close-up and close-up, ecstatic electronic music, complicated and complicated sounds, dense lines, overlapping dialogues, endless quarrels and nervousness. The rhythms add radiance to each other, making it so disturbing that you want to smash furniture. 2. Adam Sandler played a blindly obsessed, insatiable, crazy speculative gambler, and it was a pity that he did not nominate the best actor. 3. The end-to-end transitions through time and space are amazing: mine - inside of rough stone - universe - colonoscope & body hole - rough stone - cosmic starry sky. 4. Kevin Garnett's cameo appearance with The Weekend was a surprise, and the cross-cutting of the betting moment was terrifying. 5. The film subtly moves the viewer to and fro between contempt and sympathy for the protagonist (although he is impulsive and irrational, but also has a stupid and pitiful side). 6. The abrupt ending of negative irony can be called the Leopard Tail of the Year. (9.0/10)

    One of Bong Joon-ho's favorites of the year. Wild, restless, energetic. The genius of the script lies not in the lines nor in the structure, but in the tension-filled scenario design. Two examples: ①When KG returned the gem, a group of people was trapped in a small space by an obstacle electric door, and then ran around with the male protagonist who repaired the door. The contrast is stark, and the dispute continues to heat up ②The male protagonist was captured by the creditor just before the child's performance → Negotiated in the car, but found that his winning bet was intercepted in advance → Stripped naked and trapped in the trunk of the car, he could only ask his wife who was about to divorce for help , a series of advanced bad luck is basically the epitome of the whole film. Adam Sandler's show-stopping sense of comedy makes the audience have more complex emotions for the unfortunate male protagonist. This role does need a comedian to play, and the iconic toothy smirk makes the ending of the last five minutes. The shock is doubled. PS Bong Joon-ho and the Safdie brothers have chosen to use stone as a logo element in this year's work, perhaps this is why they admire each other (Joshua Safdie listed "Parasite" as one of the top ten of the 2010s). 90
