Money is a magnifying glass, magnifying the deepest desires in people's hearts. Money is a full-length mirror, showing the truest appearance of people's thoughts. Money is a concave mirror that twists out the neglected side of the human mind itself.
Some people laughed at old Getty's miserliness, and the old man replied with a very reasonable sentence: If I gave money to everyone who wrote to ask me for money, I would soon be as poor as you. When people laugh at the plutocrat's miserliness and scrimmage, they ignore that it is this calculation that allows him to deduct money from the cracks of the world.
Some people laugh at the old man's neglect of his children's affection. In fact, for most people, there are still a few who can maintain high quality in money and affection. Money magnified his shortcomings and distorted his indifference. After all, maybe a destitute person who has nothing to do has to hold on to relatives and friends to find a way out, but the old man has the "capital" to hold his "beloved" painting and die in a palace-like house.
After watching the movie, I saw some real stories about Getty, combined with the grievances of many wealthy families, I found that no matter how talented the screenwriter is, it is not as good as the plot made by a group of people who climbed halfway up the mountain to compete for wealth.
In Getty's view, seeing the value of things is the most important thing. But the richest people can't see the long-term value of everything in the world. Some people would rather leave a lot of money for their children than bother to study education. Of course, they may pretend to be blind. After all, it’s often said that it’s the hardest thing to wake someone who’s pretending to be asleep. Many people pretend to work overtime and don't want to go home to do housework to look after their children. The old man's alienation from his children's descendants may also be intentional. Anyway, a lot of people neither make money nor take good children, so they don't laugh at the tragedy of Getty's individual descendants.
The rhythm of the film is still very good, and it is still a little nervous to watch Paul's kidnapping in the middle.
The old Getty's principle of measuring things is still very interesting. If he can spend a small amount of money in exchange for his grandson, he will never spend the original price. If he can measure everything with money, he is a genius. I began to believe that in the eyes of some people, everything is measured by interests, and it is their real pleasure to use various means to play more interests, just like Wen Qing claims to be in the spiritual world of true love.
