Although this movie is hard to find, when I saw the introduction, I felt familiar. Probably when I was keen on "Watching Movies" magazine in high school, I read its film reviews.
The story tells of an avid second-rate baseball player who is already at a high age and it is time to retire. At the time when he was most impoverished, the deceased uncle's 300 million dollars fell from the sky, but the condition of inheritance was that he had to spend 30 million dollars in 30 days without any help, otherwise he would have nothing. So a variety of ways to spend money came on the scene, hiring high amounts of bodyguards, car teams, partying, investing, decorating, gambling, donating to charities... Actually spending money is not that easy. If a friend is kind, he will earn money again. Come back, so that he is back to the starting point.
He was unable to explain, his behavior seemed to outsiders to be crazy, and he was a nouveau riche who had no taste and wanted to show off. No one can understand why he is angry about making money, why he spends money like water. Everyone has done the American Dream. With money, one has status and reputation. There is also a girl. He became a news figure and participated in the election of mayor of New York City. He ridiculed his opponents for corruption and bribery, and claimed that any candidate was unqualified, and encouraged people not to vote for anyone, which in turn made his reputation soar. Seeing that he was about to succeed in the campaign, he chose to claim to withdraw from the election after he lost the baseball game with the New York Yankees.
His uncle was locked in a cupboard by his father because of smoking cigars. He had no food or water to drink, and he could not come out for three days until he had smoked all the cigars. He was supposed to be the object of his uncle's entertainment, but he was luckier than his uncle. At the time of his bankruptcy, some friends generously raised money for him, and some friends worked hand in hand to help him get rid of difficulties at a critical juncture. Although his game with the Yankees failed, he was faithful to his dream and fulfilled his pursuit. From a second-rate baseball player to a professional player.
A person who simply inherits a huge amount of inheritance may not be dazzled by sudden wealth and lose himself. But a game of his uncle made him see clearly and hate money.
After watching the movie in the middle of the night, lying on the bed exhausted, suddenly thought of something, felt the black and wrote on the paper:
"Friends, not necessarily the people who accompany you all day long, not necessarily the ones who want to take refuge when you are in deep trouble; but they must be the ones who lend you a helping hand when you need help the most."
