ROUNDERS

Highly recommend rounders, because Matt Damon and Edward Norton.

Haven't figured out what rounders mean. Look it up in the dictionary, the explanation is 'prodigal son'. I still don't quite understand. Does the old beauty call a child who doesn't study hard a 'prodigal son' .Although

they are all about gambling, the feeling of watching it is completely different from the Hong Kong-made Gambler, Gambling X. Watch Fat Brother, Andy is so cool, you will think gambling is very...

What is the weakness of KGB?

In the last paragraph, when Damon was gambling with KGB, he said that KGB's weakness had been found, so what was KGB's weakness? I didn't understand it very well, maybe torturing the opponent to death, seeing the opponent's helpless appearance is the happiest thing for KGB. The shot where Damon sees KGB's weakness is when KGB is routinely breaking a sandwich biscuit in half. I noticed that the last time KGB broke the biscuits, he didn't put it in his ear to hear the cracking sound of the...

Compared with this film, it seems that Hong Kong-style gambling films are closer to the rhythm of Hollywood.

Compared with this film, it seems that Hong Kong-style gambling films are closer to the rhythm and blockbuster style of Hollywood. Is the director intentionally using self-redemption, brotherhood, monologue, and gambling analysis to distinguish himself from those superficial gambling films?

With his usual gorgeous acting skills, Ed appeared suddenly and left suddenly. After watching the first prison scene (ed with confidence and cynicism, plus the soundtrack), I thought that ed would...

My girlfriend's name is Zuer

Matt Damon and Edward Norton are good friends with a common hobby of gambling. What, is there a mistake? Sorry, I was wrong. I'm talking about in the movie "The King of Gamblers".
Gamblers hanging out in New York's underground casinos have an out-of-this-world dream -- to play in the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. Mike deliberately lost all his money in order to get rid of his gambling addiction and live a good life with his classmate Zuer, a law student. But the word "addiction"...

You cow you go. you pig? sorry, this is a movie

For some reason, the protagonists of Matt Damon's early films seem to have been carved out of a mold. Soul Catcher, and the King of Gamblers I watched today. Two movies must be 90% similar (well, yes, I calculated it with cosine similarity, smirk by hand)

But why does this movie feel more intimate?
In fact, the fame of Good Will Hunter should be bigger than this movie. It is about a normal guy who suddenly finds that he can solve the world's problems in mathematics, and with the...

There are so many big names, I like Norton so much, no matter whether he is a gangster or a handsome gentleman, he is so stylish, and he is a good actor if he acts like something. This film reminds me of a group of gambling films in Hong Kong. Matt's God is not in court, but in Las...

I have been waiting for the explosion point, and then it has not appeared, but it is more reasonable not to appear. Norton is nasty enough, and Matt Damon has his blond moments. four...

Movie quotes

Mike McDermott: [Narrating during their final game] Doyle Brunson says" the key to no limit is to put a man to a decision for all his chips" Teddy's just did it his representing aces the only hand better than my cowboys I can't call and just give him a chance to catch I can only fold if I believe him in a heads up match your stack is almost as important as the quality of your cards I chopped one of his legs off in the first hand now all I have to do is lean on him until he falls over

Mike McDermott: [Narrating] the rule is this: if you spot a man's tell, you don't say a fucking word I finally spotted KGB's and usually I'd let him chewing those Oreos until he was dead broke but I don't have that kind of time I've only got until morning not even Teddy KGB is immune to getting a little rattled
Mike McDermott: [In bar] Mind if I sit?

Professor Petrovsky: Please, have a seat

Professor Petrovsky: That was a nifty trick the other night

Mike McDermott: Thank you

Professor Petrovsky: Marinacci and the DA were ready to cut cards for your services, of course it was altogether a different trick you pulled today, the disappearing act at your meeting.

Mike McDermott: Yeah, I figured I owe you an explanation.

Professor Petrovsky: No, not to me, I'm sure there was a good reason you left, you just have to work harder, prepare and smooth things out with the others, I'm sure there was a good reason why you left.

Mike McDermott: [nods]
Professor Petrovsky: [sitting across from each other in a bar] I know a magician doesn't reveal his secrets

Mike McDermott: I'm not a magician

Professor Petrovsky: If it wasn't "magic", how did you know what everyone held?

Mike McDermott: It's a combination of things: I was watching when the cards came out, that's just an old habit with me, it's like breathing

Professor Petrovsky: Watch the cards?

Mike McDermott: I watch the cards but I also watch the player react to the cards. That's how I knew the DA made his two pair and judge Kaplan missed the flush, I was watching their eyes when they checked their river cards, their faces tell you everything

Professor Petrovsky: [Confused] you watch the man? I never knew you had to calculate so much in cards

Mike McDermott: here's some advice, just play premium hands, you only start with jacks or better if its good enough to call you've also got to be in there raising, tight but aggressive and I do mean aggressive, you've got to think of it as a war

Professor Petrovsky: [Jokingly] you're officially never invited to our game again

Mike McDermott: I don't blame you, put a guy like me in that game, cards don't even matter I'll play it blind
