First, gambling is not a good thing. It is a direct manifestation of desire, so once an individual gambles, he will surely fall into a quagmire. Don't hold the idea that I am a genius and can control my desires, these are all delusions. Therefore, from the protagonist who is not a gambler, you can see a little gambler's shadow. Let me tell you what I have to say. I want to say that this is a bad good movie (or a good bad movie). Good or bad. These are our personal subjective consciousness, there is no right or wrong. If you say he is good, he will be rotten. fuck off. The film made me think about a lot of things, so I'll just pick one. Just following the above sentence. The background of the protagonist is a teacher, which is very interesting. The scene of his speech in class reminded me of the old Zen master who gave enlightenment. The protagonist says to the students: Unless you are a genius, there is no need to work hard. What a joy to be a happy plumber. Then there were not many people in the second class. . . Having said that, let me say one more thing. A tap dance master wants to recruit people into the group, and he needs to take an exam to join the group. Then he dances very complicated steps in front of everyone and just repeats it, and then says that I will check in 15 minutes. Then went out. . . Everyone present felt that this was impossible, so in the end, there were only a few people left. After the master came back, he didn't watch the people who stayed behind jump, and let them pass directly. Speaking of this, I remembered that the protagonist repeatedly said that he was not a gambler, but his mother, a loan shark, was regarded as a gambler by most of the people around him. To apply the protagonist's words here: fuck off. So, his mother asked him to pay off the debt, and he went on to gamble. And this kind of thing is hinted at more than once or twice in the film. Let me ask, since the protagonist is not a gambler, if he takes the money to pay off the debt, what is it? As for why he "bet"? Everyone who is benevolent sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom.
