Personal interpretation: you lose if you are serious

The old man doesn't really care about his wife. He knows that she worships money, so no matter how many lovers he has outside, he will eventually return to him. It is young people who really interest him.
Although there is no description in the film, we can imagine that the young man should not be the first to come to negotiate with him, and unfortunately, like all his predecessors, he lost in the first game and fled. But what makes him different is that he is a smart man and has faith in himself. So he made a comeback and was ashamed in the second game. At this time, the old man started to look at him with admiration, and he really put him on the same level as himself for a contest, so he had a PK in the third game.
In the third game, the old man used the power of money and even changed his sexual orientation to lure the young man to stay with him. I don't want to delve into whether his actions are true or false. Whether it is because of the feeling of sympathy between the opponents of each other or pure play, the starting point should be based on a basic fact, that is, this is just a game. And true and false, false and true is not the essence of the game.
I think the young man should be a little tempted at first, but a phone call from the old man’s wife awakened the man in his dream, allowing him to finally understand the nature of the matter. If he accepts the old man’s conditions, he will be completely defeated. So he pretended to greet him and acted well, and at the last moment, he gave the old man a sap, telling him that he was free and would not be attached to anyone. Yes, if you have to draw a conclusion, this contest should be won by the young people.
As for why the old man shot him in the end, I think it is because of unwillingness in the final analysis. Although he keeps insisting that this is just a game, we all know that whoever is serious about the game will lose.

    A one-act play for two people. The two main characters are quite related. Michael Caine's "Alpha" and "Footprints" later remakes starred Jude Law. The role of Jude Law in this film is that of Michael Caine.

    game of Thrones. Fun classic drama, simple and extraordinary relationship design. Replace the figurative "eye" symbol in the 72 version with surveillance footage + surveillance-like lens scheduling (including close-ups), retaining the original dialogue and settings. A new, confusing, mutual outing is added, which is fascinating, but slightly contradictory. The performance is superb and full of passion, and Jude Law is still too much. Sculptures by British artist Antony Gormley were used. Samsung and a half
