classic commercial film, a classic civilian background but a well-educated small salesman, Bud, in order to realize the value of life-make big money and make beautiful women Through perseverance and diligence, he impressed the master speculator Gordon and worked for him. After walking around in the world of extravagant wealth and beauty, he finally realized painfully that he was just a pawn, and even more terrifying was that he almost betrayed his father and friends. , So he repented and took Gordon into the army. The ending of the film was cliché but in line with human nature: Bud and Gordon were punished by law together.
There are a few interesting places.
A: Bard finally entered Gordon's world through unremitting efforts. Gordon said that those Harvard graduates are rubbish, and the only ones who are really usable are poor and smart people because they are hungry and thirsty. . .
Very sharply summarized what the ideal employee in the heart of a greedy boss is—hungry and thirsty. . . People with such passion can desperately use every means to pursue the most favorable results. For the owner who knows the way of shopping malls, the result is more important, and the process has nothing to do with him.
But the pitiful thing about the hungry and thirsty craftable material is that it can only be a pawn forever. This kind of expansion of the psychological poor who desperately need the recognition of wealth and beauty is actually very easy to satisfy, so some money is enough to be a beautiful woman. Trap him.
So I think that the waste Harvard graduates in Gordon’s eyes are more cute; since ancient times, it is useless to be a scholar. The uselessness is that the eyes are good and the hands are low, and the stomach is filled with ink to grow up in the superior environment of the stars and the moon. With a green onion, in fact, he neither knows how to behave with his head down, nor is he willing to put down his body to do things, let alone use cruel methods. This kind of person, most of them can't achieve great things, but they can still get a reasonable salary and live a plain life with the aura of history, nothing more.
The last time I watched "Looking at the Red Mansions", it said that Baoyu and Daiyu were born in the wrong time. If they are placed today, they can live in the city, but they are just a pair of ordinary middle-class young couples.
I feel very right. These trash guys are by no means the generals that the boss can rely on, but there are always ordinary people with likability.
B: The conflict between Bud and his father in the second half of the movie. Bard tried his best to persuade his father, the representative of the Blue Star Aviation Union, to support Gordon's purchase of Blue Star Airlines.
My father calmly pointed out that you were being used by him... (The lines are unclear) My father's calmness and sharpness impressed me deeply. Although an ordinary blue-collar worker has not seen a more bizarre world beyond the class, most of his life experience is enough to let him see the world and understand human nature, "the rich always eat the poor like this", no matter what, stick to the bottom line. Be blinded by interests and do things that are contrary to conscience.
This mundane gene of integrity finally played a role in Bud. When he realized that he was involved in the Gordon Lions plan to covet aviation workers' welfare for the second half of his life, he decided to help Bluestar Airlines save the situation and become an enemy of Gordon. "Lover" Dai Ling "persuades" him that even if Gordon doesn't buy Blue Star, others will do it, Bud said, but at least it wasn't the trigger I pulled. It is gratifying that conscience defeats self-interest and gains the upper hand.
Bud told Gordon, no matter how much I wish to be Gordon, I have to admit that I am just Bud.
C: The attraction of the movie is that it is not only a business war film, but also a Wall Street revealing insider film, which vividly demonstrates the process of internal trading and manipulation of stock prices; it has also been successful in shaping Gordon’s cold-blooded and greedy image. The blood of the merchant is dirty.
What's more interesting is that the film shows the "success" of greedy smart people, and it also leaves classic lines such as "greed is not good, it is indeed a good thing". In the end, it is a warning to the world that it must not be overly greedy.
The reason is also very simple. The essence of greed is the excessive expansion of desires. Pursuing wealth that shouldn't belong to oneself must find ways to change the rules of wealth distribution in this world. However, it is hard to commit anger and unscrupulously let oneself occupy more. "Come out and pay it back sooner or later."
