Hello everyone, watch movies together every day, I am a stupid bear who likes to watch movies.
In 1989, Wang Jing's "God of Gamblers" opened the era of gambling films. For a time, there were countless gambling films in Hong Kong movies. After "The King of Thousand Kings 2000" in 1999, Wang Jing and Stephen Chow parted ways. As well as the decline of Hong Kong movies, there is no real gambling movie ever since.
Now Hollywood's rebellious and ruinous director Paul Schrader announced the new dynamics of his new work and a gambling film.
Paul Schrader's "The Card Counter" directed by Paul Schrader released the movie poster , The red background, the black silhouette of the people, the strong contrasting color, at first glance, there is a sort of murderous atmosphere under the age of 18.
The film tells a story of revenge. The veteran Tell is a gambler and meets a young man Chick by chance. Then they found out that they had a common enemy, so Thiel accepted Chik as a disciple, and the two were ready to join forces for revenge.
Later, with the support of the mysterious gold master, they moved to major casinos, and finally prepared to go to Las Vegas to participate The World Poker Tournament, but soon things developed out of Tyre’s control, Cheek couldn’t stay focused, and Tyre himself was trapped in the darkness of the past...
The movie will be due to Oscar Isaac ("Star Wars 7", "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse"), Tai Sheridan ("Top Player", "X-Men : Apocalypse) William Dafoe ("Sea King", "The Great Wall") and other big names starring.
Paul Schrader is a director who specializes in screenwriting, and one of his works is the protagonist. Usually is self-destructive. For example, the protagonists in the masterpieces "Angry Bull" and "Taxi Driver" are all like this. If not unexpected, this time "Card Counting Man" should be like this.
Judging from the exposed plot brief and the director’s habits, the film should be a technique without special features. The gambling film, is a more realistic hard-core gambling film that focuses on describing psychological games.
It should be more like "Animal World" starring Li Yifeng and Zhou Dongyu. However, the content should be darker, with a larger content scale, and a deeper exploration of human nature.
is that "The Counting Man" should be more like the animal world of the weak and the strong than Li Yifeng's "Animal World", and It's not the simple human kindness of a circus performance like "Animal World". After all, gamblers are crazy people, and people who are not crazy cannot be gamblers.
The stupid bear guesses that the relationship between Tyre and Cheek may not be so simple, and it may be like Xu Haofeng’s "Master", the master Using apprentices, apprentices also have their own small abacus, and use with each other. In short, if it is domestically filmed, both Tyre and Cheek should be sentenced to prison in the ending subtitles.
is currently scheduled to be released in 2022, and Paul Schrader’s work has never been introduced in China. So if there is no accident, the film should only be seen on the hard drive.
In the gambling era, Chow Yun-fat played Gao Jin, Andy Lau played the knife, Zhou Xingchi has made a star. I am deeply impressed, and now I can only miss that poker scene in the hilarious "Macao Wind and Cloud".
Finally, the stupid bear asks everyone a question; who is the character that impresses you the most in the gambling movie?
