Molly's Game (2017)

The film is based on real events

Break the inherent narrative structure

tells the story of 'poker princess' Molly Bloom

Alan Sorkin, who was a director for the first time, also once again presented wonderful and close character dialogue skills

Molly Bloom focused on skiing in her youth

The level is at the forefront in the world

However, in the Olympic selection, she bid farewell to the sport forever as the fourth place

Just because she tripped over a tiny nail

I use my ability

Add code to business card

Molly taking the blow

Decide to give yourself a year off before going to law school

So she went to Los Angeles and became a waitress

With excellent communication and communication skills

She has the privilege of being a personal assistant to someone who has access to celebrities

Then she used her wisdom to help him manage the casino

But Molly won't be reconciled, she slowly accumulates contacts

until you completely replace your boss

Open your own casino in LA

Although Molly successfully escaped to become the master of her own business

But I didn't expect a similar betrayal to happen again

Only this time she changed from giver to receiver

Suddenly she lost everything

In the face of hitting Molly, she showed silence, negativity and even anger

But she's still the Molly who won't give in

Just turned around and created another bet in New York

Molly made millions in eight years by opening games

Most of the people who come to her gamble are some Hollywood stars, rich and tycoons who like to play cards

And Molly didn't cross the line because of these people's identities and prestige

Always be clean

Admit your own charm but reject everyone's admiration

reputation

is the only thing left of me

Molly was indicted on a series of charges for opening a gambling table suspected of illegal operation, suspected of being involved in the Russian mafia, etc.

In desperation, Molly found lawyer Charlie and hoped that he could help her

Charlie didn't have a good impression of Molly at first

Because her autobiography makes no secret of what she did

even proud of it

Overexposure in the media makes Molly a target

with further understanding

Charlie discovers the kindness, tenacity, wisdom in Molly

That's what keeps her up to this point.

Molly can't even pay her own attorney fees

But still put at least $2.5 million in debt out there

Just because she didn't want to take back her property in a violent way

She understands the "gamblers"

Just a few bad games in a row will cost them money

Some people have to start another life in order to pay off their debts

even depression

Molly's favor is not only reflected in this matter

In the years when the casino was opened

For some people who are in poor form and lose consecutive cards

Molly will also remind the other party to let go at the right time

Betting again and again is a big taboo for losers

Like she used to stop Harlan from continuing to gamble

But the huge frustration completely defeated Harlan's sanity

Not only did he miss his wife's birthday

Also lost all property and wife divorced

Smart people can be in the noisy and diverse information

extract what you need

That's what Molly has done for so many years

She sits on the sidelines and watches the game of these people

At the same time receive information that they inadvertently disclose

Involving politics, entertainment, economy, personal privacy and other aspects

And her mobile phone has maintained communication with these people for many years

It can be said that Molly has the value of this information

no less than all of hollywood

Prosecutors once offered this in exchange for Molly's acquittal

and will return Molly's property

But Molly said "No" to that

Charlie doesn't understand what she's insisting on

In fact, Molly is just sticking to the reputation of "Molly Bloom"

The reputation she has worked so hard to build over the years

Her emphasis on personal privacy

She doesn't want the news to be released to separate families and relatives

She rejects this despicable behavior

I am a person with strong vitality

We know that every penny of Molly's money comes from a legitimate source

She never took any extra profit in any hand

In the days when Charlie was defending Molly

once tried Molly was just a waitress

Not an organizer's argumentative skills to win the judge's sympathy

And Molly rejects this act of devaluing herself and despising herself

Of course this trick doesn't work for the judge either.

Prosecutors then try to lure acquittal and property

Molly also turned down the opportunity

Just after Molly turned down any 'relative bonus' chance to reduce her sentence

I thought Molly would eventually be convicted

In fact, they are all sins

Fortunately, the judge believed Molly was innocent.

Molly escaped on the field eight years ago

Molly survives court eight years later

Maybe she really is more prosperous in her life.

Labeled as a "strong woman"

Many people questioned in this film

What is the difference between Jessica Chastain's performance and

Also strong female characters

I don't think there's anything wrong with being an independent woman

Even if it is labelled like this

It is also a recognition of the acting skills of the model worker.

Because she can indeed show the confidence, independence and tenacity of such people.

You know she's going to face blows

But you know she doesn't waste time

Her resistance and intransigence seemed predictable

And you're glad to see her get up again

like the nail that tripped her

It was just bad luck

Can't represent the circumstances of her life

    The performance of the model worker is the biggest highlight, and perhaps the only one. The rhythm is fast but the whole thing is long and procrastinated, which shows that Sorkin did not cut down the complicated and simple, and that all the nonsense of the bombardment is really meaningless, and it just makes the film more bloated. A mature screenwriter cannot save a rookie director, especially when both appear as the same person. "The Social Network" > "Steve Jobs" > "Jasmine's Game".

    Sorkin is very persistent in showing his love for the myth of the 1960s that "no matter how smart and independent women are, they can't lead middle-aged men to survive".

Molly's Game quotes

  • Larry Bloom: I didn't know you got beaten up until I read it in your book. It was a hell of a way to learn about it, you should know. And if I'm hiring someone to find the guy who did it then I'm hiring someone to kill him.

    Molly Bloom: Don't even joke about that.

    Larry Bloom: I'm not.

    Molly Bloom: It wasn't a purse snatcher, Dad. It was the mafia.

    Larry Bloom: I don't care if it's the leader of the mob. Someone put their hand on you, they're gonna suffer.

    Molly Bloom: Dad, I'm fine.

    Larry Bloom: No, they're gonna suffer.

    Molly Bloom: Dad, I'm alright. Really, I'm fine.

  • Douglas Downey: There's a poem... a famous... uh... a poem about... thoughts left unexpressed. "Two roads emerged from the woods. Do they explode? I dunno" You like poetry?

    Molly Bloom: I did until a second ago
