What would you choose instead?

Allure Story

Fairy tale-like plot, but said to be based on a true story.

I thought it was a romance movie. But in general, the emotional lines of the male and female protagonists are very restrained, and they are more like-minded and natural.

The whole film is also discussing a classic question: "jokingly, buy a lottery ticket with a stranger, do you want to share the winnings when you win the lottery?", or another macro-level question: "How about a huge amount of money and commitment/integrity?" trade-off". For ordinary people, this is not an easy question. So every audience will have a sense of substitution "what will I choose if I change it"? I think that's what makes this game so successful.

The ending is a bit vulgar, but normal people should like it. It is also a bit clever, and does not constitute a reason for deduction.

By the way, such an "old" film can also show how much influence the media has on the public's understanding of something.

I like this line:

If you don't want me, that's different.

If you don't want me, I'll walk right out that door, and you'll never see me again.

But please stop talking about the money.

It means nothing to me.

---OK, in fact, money still means something, but money is only a means, a resource, not an end. At least for the male lead. Ordinary people can only admire and learn as much as possible.

Taking the kids to play baseball at Yankee Stadium and meeting them at The plaza were two good episodes. Also the ending scene is amazing.

Finally, Bridget Fonda is so pretty.

All in all, I give five stars.

    It's because he made me believe again that people were fundamentally decent.

    Get up early with a beautiful movie, and the whole person is happy. Walking on the road and listening to Zheng Zaihuan's story in "Zhumadian Sad Stories Collection", I was moved after waves of emotion. As long as people live, as long as they live, good things will happen. I also grew up in that country, and I used to envy others for not being able to pay 50 yuan in tuition, and I used to hate my father, but fortunately, fortunately, we all came out of our anger. I think, just like the hero and heroine in the movie, we choose to redeem ourselves with kindness, and our life is finally in our own hands. God gave us life, we have to create our own luck. There are two new books sent by Zheng Zaihuan on the bedside. I am really happy for him. He saved himself and the world is opening up for him. fairy tales can come true, it could happen to you! Always be kind! It's up to you to decide what the world is like!

  • Angel Dupree: [Narrating] Tonight, I had the opportunity to study grace and generosity under the direst of circumstances. Even in "their darkest hour", Officer Charlie Lang and the good-hearted Ms. Yvonne Biasi shared a bowl of soup with me. When I left, this good Samaritan gave me money from his own pocket, wishing it could be more.

  • Angel Dupree: [Narrating] It took Charlie and Yvonne three days to open up all their mail, and when they were done New York had given them a six hundred thousand dollar tip, Charlie happily returned to the force. Yvonne got her coffee shop back. Eddie could only get work driving a cab. And Muriel, she married Jack Gross... who cleaned out the checking account and fled the country. Muriel lives in the Bronx with her mother and works at a nail salon. Charlie, Muriel and Yvonne all lived in a city where people prayed for miracles every day, and sometimes they happen.
