It shocks me, this film.

For its slow and huge information, I took it as a series, watching it for a couple of days and finish the final 80 minutes just now, which to my consideration, the essence.

Sam has been trying to save the relationship with Ginger, which started to fall apart as far as they meet. Like the unstoppable plate movement, they are getting far away till it was like a strait between them. While he still tried to build a bridge where nobody would ever walk through.

This bridge, of course, as the casinos in the old-time, collapsed finally.

Actually from Ginger‘s reaction to the proposal, everyone sees that it might not be a marriage Sam wanted. But this man would like to give a try for a remote possibility. This ever-victorious general in the casino grasped the slim odds and fell flat.

The loss of control of the casino and the failure of his marriage might eventually teach him the rules of games outside. But never has this man a second chance to win all the things back.
