Two very touching words

The old Getty sent his confidant, Zeiss, to help the mother redeem her grandson. The mother felt that she did not need Zeiss, but only needed $17 million. Then Zeiss said the following to his mother:

Money is not a problem for Mr. Getty

I've done deals with a lot of people

There are chiefs, there are Sudanese

I know very well that money is never just money

it always stands for something, usually something people don't have

If you don't understand, then all your efforts are in vain...

Combined with the Minotaur's china when Paul was a child, the mother took it to exchange money and found it was just an ordinary tourist souvenir.

Imagine if the old Getty was selling this Minoan, and if the potential buyer wanted from the old Getty what he so desperately wanted but only the old Getty could offer, would he be happy? 1.2 million US dollars to buy it?

Old Getty's life experience has made him a money man completely, using money to understand and operate the world, but he cherishes his family very much from the bottom of his heart, and his family represents the complex human beings. This caused a contradiction that he could not solve by himself. He paid the ransom in a proper manner, and the grandson went home, but it violated the principle of money that he has always succeeded in. The grandson could not let his wealth grow, and the price of the grandson was too expensive, so he did not pay the ransom. , grandson will die, this loss is unbearable for him, from the time he knew that grandson was kidnapped to when he finally couldn’t bear the pressure to die . However, judging from the results, the descendants he saved and those he never saved did not make him proud, nor did they learn to control money, but were mutilated by money. The old Getty's father always predicted that he would never be successful, that he had children and could not take risks. For a child who was poisoned by his parents' script, the old Getty died of struggle. If he took the risk and didn't pay the ransom, his grandson would be torn apart, but if it didn't affect his business success, then he broke his father's script. If he doesn't take the risk and pays the ransom to redeem his grandson, then he hits the father's language, look, I say you don't dare to take risks at the critical moment. But the grandson was torn apart and broke his own principle of life. He must love the people of the Getty family. The final plan is actually a compromise, bringing back the grandson with the least amount of money, but he paid the price of his own life, just to break or Follow the father's script.

Originally it was just a very simple decision, 17 million was a drop in the bucket for him, let Zeiss be the commander-in-chief, take the 17 million ransom, the children go home, and leave the rest to Zeiss or the police, a person who participated in the overthrow of the Iranian regime. Detective cia, executed the kidnappers in a very cruel way, and warned other bad guys in the world who wanted to hurt the Gettys: don't act rashly. Isn't this a very cost-effective investment, 17 million, to protect the 14 grandchildren of the Getty family.

    The incoherent editing without a sense of rhythm may be the direct reason why the emotion is split and the facial motives of the characters are unable to figure out the details. I don't know if it has a direct relationship with the eight-minute cut in the domestic release version. The plot arrangement is like listing the script outline once and hurriedly without any room for aftertaste. I vaguely feel that the impact of the Kevin Spacey incident on Lei Dao may be devastating.

    The old Getty's thinking mode is not surprising. Family and blood are his investments in the future. The failed investment in his son and the bad deeds of his grandson made him dare not invest again. This concept has allowed him to get money from all over the world. Lost the love of the world. What makes people strange is actually the bodyguard of the negotiation. In addition to performing "Patriot's Day" again, you also did Shen Mo?
