A world kidnapped by money

1. The movie tells everyone, all the poor and the rich: you can become the richest person in the world by spending your family members without any worries; but as long as the family you care about the most becomes a hostage, and as long as You fight blackmail, and the world of money will collapse along with your emotional, moral, and artistic worlds. Everyone has had the nightmare of hostage negotiations. At the beginning, people thought that they could torture each other with money, and the tortured people soon thought that they could torture each other with morality. In the process, the more ruthless people realized that all the torture must be carried out on the flesh. There is no strategy, no plan, and no thinking can be carried out here, and everything is overhead. This is the true meaning of kidnapping. With money for price and exchange, the world of money has become a world of kidnappings everywhere.

2. When the younger grandson was about to have his ticket torn apart, the old man said, "What a beautiful child," holding the famous painting "The Virgin and Child" by Raphael that he had just invested in. After saying this, he was heartbroken and died. People are not going to let you have a beautiful child on your own accord. The poor don't have it, and the rich don't deserve it. The children of the poor are generally kidnapped by the rich.

Think about it. Think about why it is necessary for artist tyrants and philosopher thugs to be the ruling race—for the sake of children. Does the child exist in a library, sculpture or Raphael painting, in symbolic and emotional wishful thinking, or in a motherly love that fears nothing and sacrifices itself? This question is like a poem by Borges called "The Tiger" (about the third tiger). Only by getting rid of the domination and domination of money can children become a reality, but how is it possible to get rid of the domination and domination of money without letting Raphael have the final say? To be precise, it is enough for Raphael to have a child, and the birth of a child does not depend on the environment. People can continue as they like.

3. The grandson of the world's richest man was kidnapped in Italy. There are letters from all over the world saying that he kidnapped himself. Destroying 1 richest man, but using it against an entire empire is pretty silly and totally messy. what did i see? The history of human beings is at a critical juncture where thinking is impossible, because thinking is unwilling to accept it. Therefore, there is nothing mysterious about the history of making a family. Being rich is not a miracle and art, and the thinking of the rich cannot be attractive. The world of money is built on stifling thinking and art.

    What a treat to watch a Ridley Scott movie in the cinema

  • Johanna 2022-03-25 09:01:10

    Lei Gong's narrative control is extremely stable, and the rhythm is slow but not dull. Kidnapping cases are generally labeled as crime thrillers, but the entry point of the money world is completely different. You will not see extremely hot and exciting rescue scenes. It is a very literary drama. Although it does not lose the sense of tension, it is more to see the value trade-off between family love and money and the disintegration of the family of the richest person in the world. In reality, this incident is far more cruel than in the movie!

All the Money in the World quotes

  • J. Paul Getty: It's a good day.

    Fletcher Chace: I'm glad to hear that, Mr. Getty. It'll make this much easier. We need to pay the ransom.

    J. Paul Getty: I thought you said this was a hoax.

    Fletcher Chace: Your grandson was kidnapped by members of the Calabrese' Ndrangheta. Two of the original kidnappers are dead, and one is missing.

    J. Paul Getty: That sounds like progress to me.

    Fletcher Chace: I'm afraid not, all right? They got nervous waiting for the ransom. They sold the boy to an investor.

    J. Paul Getty: "An investor"? Who invests in kidnapped children?

    Fletcher Chace: You'd be surprised. There's nothing people can't find a way to turn into money.

    J. Paul Getty: You told me that Paul and his mother had cooked this up to soak me.

    Fletcher Chace: And I was wrong, all right? Paul may have talked about being kidnapped with his friends. He put it out there. He's not behind this.

    J. Paul Getty: How do I know that you're not wrong now?

    Fletcher Chace: These people are not the old-world Malavita anymore. Their only code is profit and loss. They will do things to Paul that cannot be undone for any amount of money. We have to pay

    J. Paul Getty: Well, this simply isn't possible. My financial position has changed.

    Fletcher Chace: Really? I mean, 30 seconds ago,you said it was a good day. I mean, I'm not all that bright, but I can multiply as well as you. With oil up as much as it was this morning, you have amassed another fortune.

    J. Paul Getty: Well, what if the embargo is lifted and oil were to crash? I'd be exposed. I have never been more vulnerable financially than I am right now.

    Fletcher Chace: Mr. Getty, with all due respect, nobody has ever been richer than you are at this moment.

    J. Paul Getty: I have no money to spare.

    Fletcher Chace: What would it take? I mean, what would it take for you to feel secure?

    J. Paul Getty: More

  • Corvo: Forgive me, Ms. Getty. Just one last question, regarding your testimony earlier. Why did you think the kidnapping was a joke?

    Gail Harris: It's a *figure of speech*. The whole situation was unbelievable. It still is.

    Corvo: Well, tragic, yes, but not unbelievable.

    Fletcher Chace: It's not tragic *yet*. Maybe you ought to work on keeping it that way.

    [later]

    Fletcher Chace: Did Paul ever talk to you about having himself kidnapped?

    Gail Harris: You've got to remember who the Gettys are. Every time someone stays in the bathroom for too long, someone makes a joke about being held for ransom. Paul might have cracked a joke once or twice among friends...

    Fletcher Chace: [points] There's that word again.

    Gail Harris: What word?

    Fletcher Chace: A "joke". You said you thought it was a joke when it first happened.

    Gail Harris: Now you sound like that policeman. Whose side are you on, Mr. Chace?

    Fletcher Chace: I'm on my own side. Always. And if this is a joke, I'd like to make sure that I'm in on it.
