The Dialectics of Money and Family

Money World ☞ The real story of the kidnapping of the rich three generations.
I happened to read the detailed introduction to this kidnapping incident before watching the movie, so I have some understanding. It is
not like a suspense drama that can have subversive answers. , the documentary films that can only be ordered by class have been solidified a lot less interesting.
Therefore, according to the reality, the whole kidnapping case does not revolve around how to rescue, but how to persuade the big boss of the Getty family to pay the ransom, which is very humane and helpless
. In the whole film, only his mother and witnessing him are the ones who really worry about John's safety. The kidnapper, who is in an increasingly dangerous situation and whose conscience is still alive, is here.
The former kind of mother's love that is always unwilling to give up at critical moments no matter how bad the child is, has a feeling of sighing and sadness. So don't belittle yourself easily, at least your mother will still be there for you.
The latter kind of bad and incomplete people are everywhere in reality, but the direct fuse of the kidnapping started from them, so it can be regarded as a great fortune in John's misfortune.
Another major feature is still the shortcomings that are very easy to appear in the film: the reality in this story is too weakened in the film, the choice of character presentation is simplified and symbolic of the
father Getty II, the explanations of other family members are very sloppy, newspapers, etc. image is too extreme. The important four main roles in-depth analysis should be just a flat role.
What impressed me the most was Chase, who was indispensable but showed no negotiating ability at all. In the early stage, he was even a little arrogant. He successfully persuaded the richest man at the last minute to argue that "he has the ability to control security measures"... very unreal .
In the end, I really hope that many movies can be turned into TV, and the stories will be longer and fuller. (Then it was finally discovered that the male protagonist was the one who attacked Boston)

    The camera touches a world of rich people that we have never known before. "It is not difficult to become rich, but how to be a rich person is difficult." The complex characters are difficult to show perfectly under the tense narrative rhythm, but as the case progresses, the image of Getty, a "devil" alienated by money, is still full. The nine-day remake can have such a degree of completion, and I have to admire Lei Gong.

    Before watching the film, I went to Getty Villa, where I learned that Paul Getty is a very generous, kind, and artistic person. But I didn't expect him to be so stingy and greedy in the film. It's good to know the two sides of a legend in one day. The two Getty estates in Los Angeles have also become extremely ironic and true.
