The real history shows the cruelty of Paul Getty

Ludwig 2021-12-21 08:01:05

1. The sons of Paul Getty: 1. The eldest son George II (born in 1924) was his most important, but he died in 1973. 2. The second son Jean (born in 1929) was born to Paul Getty's third wife, Adolfin. At the time, the two were divorcing. Adolfin "robbed" and gave birth to his fourth wife, Annie. The purpose of this child is to fight for more property. So he didn't like this child. Later, Gene was even revoked the right to enjoy the family trust fund, and was supported by his two younger brothers after bankruptcy. 3. The third son, Getty II (born in 1932), was the hope of the successor to Paul Getty's career. The first job he arranged for his son was an oil extractor with a monthly salary of US$100. He hoped that his son would start to train from the bottom. But Getty II likes beauty and excitement. The first wife of Getty II was water polo star Abigail, who divorced in 1964; the second wife, actress Talitha, died suddenly in 1971 due to an overdose of heroin. Getty II himself has been addicted to drugs for a long time, and has therefore entered a drug rehabilitation center. In 1973, his son, 16-year-old Eugene Paul Getty, Getty III (born in 1956) was kidnapped in Italy. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of $1.7 million-only one-tenth of the 17 million that the movie said. , The real history shows Paul's cruelty even more. Getty II asked his father Paul Getty for help, but Paul Getty refused, saying that if he paid the money, the other fourteen grandchildren (the youngest granddaughter Christina was born in 1975, the sixteenth Paul approved Grandchildren, the daughter of the second son Jean) will be kidnapped. The kidnappers sent an ear and a bunch of hair and raised the ransom to $3.2 million. Getty II begged for his father (the person who begged was not the mother Gemi in the movie), Paul Getty agreed to $2.2 million, which is the highest amount he can deduct for tax. The rest is regarded as a loan to Getty II, with an interest of 4%. Paul Getty also bargained with the kidnappers, and finally redeemed Getty III, who had only one ear left, at a "preferential price" of $2.9 million. This incident may have irritated Getty II and made him hate this kind of money-first family relationship. Getty II later lived in the UK and became a well-known book collector and enthusiastic supporter of cricket. He donated 140 million pounds of wealth to cultural and artistic careers, and thus won the jazz title. In 1997, Getty II became a British citizen. In 2003, Getty II died of lung disease. 4. The fourth son Gordon (born in 1934) is Paul Getty's only hope in his later years. Later, Gordon inherited control of the family business. In 1983, "Forbes" magazine listed Gordon, who was worth $2 billion, as the richest man in the United States. However, Gordon's dream is to become an opera actor, and once formally apprenticeship, he joined the family's oil business only to please his father. Ten years after his father's death, he sold the family-owned Getty Oil Company for $10 billion. Today, he still appears in the media, but has nothing to do with the oil business-he is a well-known venture capitalist and philanthropist, donated to many politicians such as U.S. Foreign Minister Kerry, is a composer, and has written many operas. He also made a name for another incident: In 1999, some media broke the news that he had an extramarital affair that lasted 10 years. But he was more humane than his father, and included his 3 illegitimate children (Nicody, Kandal, Alexander) on the inheritance list. 5. The youngest son Tim (born in 1946) is Paul Getty's favorite. But when Tim needed surgery for a brain tumor, Paul Getty kept complaining that medical expenses were too expensive. In 1958, 12-year-old Tim died in an American hospital due to complications after surgery. Paul Getty was living in the UK at the time and didn't even go to his son's funeral. 2. The real situation after Eugene Paul Getty's rescue: Getty III contracted drug abuse because of PTDS and disability (Getty III's change in temperament was due to illness rather than weak will or self-destructiveness), and later due to overdose Suffering from drug abuse and long-term illness, he spent his last days in a wheelchair since 1981 and died in 2011-not as the movie said, "Soon after, a generation of wealthy old Getty died, and the young Paul inherited his grandfather. All of his inheritance.” Paul’s property was given to his fourth son, and he never thought of giving it to Getty III. Getty III’s younger brother Mark (born in 1958) studied at Oxford University and studied politics and philosophy. He founded Getty Images in 1993 and is one of the world’s largest photo companies.

    The old Getty has a lot of scenes, and it is amazing to have such a finished product in such a short reshoot time. The details of the era and the place of the black Italian police paparazzi are all good, and the soundtrack and rhythm are also highlights. But the whole viewing process is how KS will act and what the Italian accent of hippo belly is.

    I always feel that something is missing? Kidnapping is not exciting enough, and greedy is not staggering enough. Both grandparents and grandsons, both named Plummer, played well. However, I still can’t help but want to watch the first banned movie of 2017: There is Kevin Spacey’s version of "Money World"...

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.
