電影背景:描述年僅16歲的Paul遭到綁架後,他的母親Gail說服Paul的祖父兼石油大亨J. Paul Getty支付贖金。然而J. Paul Getty不肯,於是Gail聯手談判專家Chase在Paul被撕票前使Getty改變主意並成功救回兒子的故事。
短評:從本片最喜愛的一段話開始:
Chase: You need to pay the ransom, Mr. Getty. J. Paul Getty: I do not have the money to spare. Chase: No one has ever been richer than you are at this moment. What would it take for you to feel secure? J. Paul Getty: More.
此句話透露出Getty的行事法則及個性,極度不信任人性並專注於實物的性格。而下ㄧ段文字則顯示出有錢人的思考模式與一般人完全不一樣:
J. Paul Getty: I have 14 grandchildren, and if I pay a penny of ransom, I’ll have 14 kidnapped grandchildren.
他們看待事物及衡量價值的方式與大眾是完全不同的。且這也影響Getty如何看待家人:
“How to Get Rich” is different with “How to Be Rich” Getty points out that any fool can “get” rich. Be Rich, You need to deal with “freedom”, and objects never change or disappear, however, human does
Reporter: Mr. Getty, how much would you pay to release your grandson, if not seventeen million dollars? J. Paul Getty: Nothing.
Chase: I don’t think this is about money. Cinquanta: This is about power. Harris: Business. Chase: Terror. J. Paul Getty: Family.
由此可見,Getty是把事件看成一樁貨真價實的生意。每個角色對物件的價值(金錢或意義)的評估與思索過程中展現的計算和邏輯,我認為是本片中最吸引我的地方。
PS: 剛好考完GRE準備托福訓練聽力中,因此採取英文配音無字幕方式觀看,聽懂7~8成且基本劇情理解順暢,推薦戰友們可以當作閒暇時練習英文的電影~~
