Matt Damon’s legal mentor in the play told him a story:

He used to be a child prodigy who could interpret scriptures at the age of 12 and was better than a 40-year-old rabbi, but one day he suddenly found that he could not be Finding the existence of God among them, he could not deceive himself to go on like this, which made his rabbi family father never say a word to him since then, even if he later became a famous law professor.

When he devoted himself to law, he found that he was born to do this-our destiny chooses us,

so Matt asked him: If you have been here again, would you still make the same choice?

He replied: What choice?



There is no other choice.

    This script is old-fashioned and cumbersome. In the first half, Damon wanders between the middle-class life represented by his girlfriend and the rivers and lakes represented by his partner Norton. Anchor target. The process of gambling is mixed with a lot of plausible poker phrases. In summary, it is nothing more than conveying "enough is enough". The generalization of gambling skills is to record cards and observe one's words. These are not shown in the movie, and Norton's tricks are not enough. Not surprisingly, it is incomparable to a gambling movie featuring casino wits. Norton's acting was so revealing that even I could tell he was with Damon in his performance at the poker table. In the end, in the decisive battle between Damon and Malkovich to win back their confidence, in fact, Malkovich didn't need to gamble at all, after all, it was his money, and the whole scene Markovich's angry and frizzy performance was more like a clown. Not a master, of course, the director also has some responsibility for the atmosphere, and Dahl has lost the grotesque film noir style in this film. This kind of bland film mixed into the Venice main competition mainly reflects Miramax's marketing ability.

    The movie is actually quite realistic, John Malkovich is so handsome! And the Chinese translation is not very good, almost meaning
