Cooler than cool films, the violent aesthetics from the soul.
The protagonist is an old and rough bourgeois, so the only way to pursue the excitement of life is to gamble and play for money, like drinking Red Bull and beating chicken blood, the protagonist is always in an excited and tireless state. It is undeniable that the protagonist is as pure and natural as a rough diamond, and even has some romantic flavors: he can live a good life by running a jewelry store, but he does not take the usual path. The fancy pursuit of money and a restless way of life are engraved in the genes. The protagonist brings this state to the extreme, so the film creates a Jew full of enthusiastic life from beginning to end. The way others make money is boring and reserved. , Others Bao Xiaosan hides, and can't even give Xiaosan romance, but the protagonist has a complete idea, whether it is making money or other aspects of life, the protagonist is full of coincidences in the next second, so in the whole film, the protagonist is full of coincidences. While dealing with these coincidences with rational, shrewd and slightly rough tricks, another coincidence is also happening. Of course, this is all of his own making. In the balance of active and passive, the changing process of the film's value load is like riding a roller coaster. The audience endured this exciting and panic-filled viewing process.
Such a charismatic Jew seems to be trapped in something. He is like a controlled machine, turning tirelessly, like thousands of wolves in the American middle class and Wall Street. The protagonist is trapped in the trap of capital. In the lie of money and money, but no matter how advanced a machine is, it is not a perpetual motion machine. There will always be a power outage. When the protagonist is at the moment when the horsepower is at its maximum in his life, he sees a huge reward is about to come, but he is shot to end his life. . The end of countless movies confirms a principle: death is equal to zero. He played so much in the world that he ignored or challenged some of the laws of the world, which was his achievement but also led to his destruction. The audience must have felt a big gap in the ending, but this is the best ending, as Robert McKee said:
Cinema is the art of time...The first admonition of all time art is "You must save the best for the last"...The last act of the story and its climax - these will be the most satisfying experiences i experience.
The first one hundred and twenty-five minutes of the film are devoted to the "life" of the protagonist, and then the "death" of the protagonist is given in the first one hundred and twenty-five minutes. What better ending to this movie than death? Even if the protagonist dies, there is no need to regret it, after all, he was experiencing a more exciting experience than shejing just before his death.
