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 help of a few professors, he found himself in the next step. Mathematical talent. But the film does not focus on mathematics (otherwise the audience will be small?), but focuses on the male protagonist's self-discovery and following his heart.

Personally, I think that Matt in Soul Catcher is more unreal than him in The King of Gamblers. (Hey, you said that he was not real enough to have evidence?! I'm sorry, because I watched it a long time ago, and the plot has been forgotten a bit, but I remember that the touch at that time was not as big as I imagined.) The male protagonist in the King of Gamblers has a wishful female vote, but he opposes him to play at the table again; (This is not nonsense. You even lost the tuition fee with one card, you are still studying, you let you How can my sister feel at ease with you piapiapia~) And then the male protagonist has a gay friend who is also addicted to gambling. Before going to prison, he owed a lot of money for some reason, and he had a face like Edward Norton (yes, It's that fine score in Fight Club), and it's a good deal. After his good friend was released from prison, he pulled the male protagonist to resume his old business with him. During this period, Norton cheated his teammates in various ways. However, the male protagonist actually wanted to help his base friend at the end of the film, so he said "I think we are even now" at the end.

Remember the math professor in Mind Hunter? Yes, there are similar characters in King of Gamblers (it's like the sweeper in martial arts movies, the prophet in The Matrix). The old wetness of the male protagonist is an existence of sauce: he can see the talent of the male protagonist in playing cards with his eyes, and he does not think that it is not a proper job like the male protagonist's female ticket (Excuse me? It really is because the gender is different and can't fall in love), He also took the initiative to invite the male protagonist to drink, and told the male protagonist that he had a similar experience with him, and that the choice he made to follow his heart at the beginning (it was a copy of the male protagonist) At the most critical moment of the male protagonist, he also appeared Money to subsidize the male lead's dream. (Anyway, it's the old wet from someone else's family.) So, in the end, the encouragement of the old wet, the assist of the female vote (the female vote is actually a good person, but she can't stand the male protagonist's repeated obsession with gambling), as well as the teammates' gods and pit fathers, etc. In terms of (drama) profit (love), cause (need) and prime (need), the male protagonist finds his old enemy and completes the counter-kill. In the end, when she broke up with the female ticket, she also left a handsome back that made the female mainstream forget to return. (The protagonist's halo is good.)

This story tells us that if you know that you are one of the great of the greatest, you can do what you think is right regardless of everyone's opposition; if not, just wash and sleep.

    It's a work of brushing his acting skills to practice his accent. From this perspective, Norton's role as a scumbag is really smooth. Matt Damon's literary drama in the 1990s was just a few brushes. Markovic's Russian accent is really... Is it actually a Polish accent? There is a slight irony to the society with gambling, such as rich tourists who love gambling but no skills, legal elites, hey, the dream of diaosi. Well, I actually came to see Turturro... There's a lot of John in this crew. .

    Before watching it, I was very excited to see that the cast was so strong. After watching it, I really felt bored. Maybe I have watched Hong Kong movies and all kinds of gambling king movies since I was a child. . .

Rounders quotes

  • Mike McDermott: [Narrating] I've often seen these people, these squares at the table, short stack and long odds against them. All their outs gone. One last card in the deck that can help them. I used to wonder how they could let themselves get into such bad shape, and how the hell they thought they could turn it around.

  • Teddy KGB: That ace could not have helped you.

    [drops all of his chips onto the table]

    Teddy KGB: I bet it all.

    Mike McDermott: [laughs] You're right Teddy, the ace didn't help.

    [pushes chips towards the center and flops down his cards]

    Mike McDermott: I flopped the nut straight.
