Titles like this may seem a little underactive: Is life a gamble? Mark Wahlberg's protagonist's seemingly neurotic way of betting on gambling looks uncomfortable and scary, although in the end...slow, drama reviews are not spoilers!
Back to the topic, is life really a gamble? isn't it? is it? isn't it? is it? isn't it? Am I also sick and going back and forth three times on a question that many people would each have an inconclusive answer to?
Ma Yun made a desperate gamble and blocked his youth, and he won; of course, there are many more people who also gambled to block their youth. Some of the results may seem to have won, but compared with Ma Yun's huge material wealth, the vast majority Everyone has become a loser... Those bullshit chicken soup for the soul is actually a small number of successful people who comfort the non-successful people, or they double up on the losers and continue to blackmail and earn money for books. This world is pyramid-shaped. It is impossible for all of them to become Buffett Ma Huateng! Otherwise, why is it so difficult to realize communism, and now we are also starting to take the line of socialist characteristics, look at the gap between the rich and the poor, and the ideal of communism is getting farther and farther away! In fact, our society is not what propagandists call the law of the jungle, but a life like gambling. Of course, high-IQ gamblers have a higher winning rate than low-IQ gamblers, although both look similar after they become addicted! In reality, if you choose a risky path, you may have a very low probability of success in the future, but you may earn a lot of money; if you choose a stable path, although you are neither poor nor hungry, you will not be rich or wealthy! Why there is religion is to appease the fragile hearts of the vast majority of people. If you have faith, you will be firm, or calm! (Western religions teach people to be firm, and Eastern religions teach people to be calm! Personal opinion, I will argue if I don’t agree, hehe)
Far too far, although I don’t gamble, but I look at the characters starring Mark Wahlberg with a heartache, a few The loan shark boss and the casino boss didn't understand why he was so stubborn, so stubborn that people couldn't understand it, a rich grandfather, a good family background, a good professional university associate professor of literature, a bad habit of gambling, and a little money It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t pay his debts, he still gambles, and it doesn’t matter if he dies. I think he should teach philosophy, not literature, because it seems that he has already penetrated life and death and has become enlightened, a series of abnormal behaviors, this is drama, this is life!
At the end, the loan shark black man said, I will quit this dirty work in the future, which also implies the fate of the protagonist - Fake, I am not gambling for myself, I am not a gambler, although the old man looks like a gambler, Fake Friends, brother is not for money, uncle is going back to start my love road, Fa-king-friend...
