Not just a gambling film or a film depicting the experience of math genius dazzling, but also a very wonderful life philosophy film.
The film uses flashbacks. The protagonist Ben is applying for a Robinson Scholarship at Harvard Med. The professor asks Ben what dazzling experience can impress him. The story begins! Ben has always been a top student at MIT. He was spotted by Professor Micky in a nonlinear equation course. Under the repeated encouragement of his crush on Jimmy, he joined Professor Micky's card counting group in order to earn money for Harvard med. The first half of the film is a bit slow, but I actually like the slowness because I like the way of life that the film portrays. In the second half, the card-counting team went on a killing spree in Las Vegas.
There are two of the best plot twists, one is when Ben screwed up for the first time, and Ben returned to Boston to find he had nothing, because the ruthless Micky took away all the money Ben made. The other is that Ben finally managed to get a sum of money from Micky by calculating, and it was seized by the gang boss, and he had nothing left. From the beginning to the end, from nothing to nothing, from nothing to nothing, from nothing to nothing, and finally from nothing to nothing. In the end, this ending made many viewers sigh, but does Ben really have nothing? In it, he had an extraordinary experience, a dazzling experience, and even got to Jill, which eventually led him to receive a Robinson Scholarship, which finally allowed him to realize his childhood dream: to go to Harvard Med and become Doctor Campbell .
