Focus Gambling Scene 55

The scene where autistic Ray counts all the cards at a blackjack table is pretty appealing to all gambling movie lovers. Among many films with great gambling scenes, these five hold something special. On the cab ride home, Nicky, now with a LOT of money on him, explains to Jess that this was set up from the beginning of the day. He knew that Liyuan is a notorious gambler, so he had it set up so that Liuyan would see the number 55 throughout the day, thereby subconsciously getting him to pick that number when the moment was right. What is Lens Focal Length. Focal length, usually represented in millimeters (mm), is the basic description of a photographic lens. It is not a measurement of the actual length of a lens, but a calculation of an optical distance from the point where light rays converge to form a sharp image of an object to the digital sensor or 35mm film at the focal plane in the camera.

Hey guys ! Just saw a movie called Focus, starring Will smith and Margot . You know it kinda got me thinking on how we actually can affect someone’s mind or behaviour by invading their personal space. There is a two minute scene in the movie where Will shows off his smooth stealing skills to Margot and it actually is quite good. I had the option of watching 5 movies and I chose this one solely based on star power. It didn’t disappoint. However i would like to draw your attention to this one scene in the movie where the couple go to a football match and start betting on trivial things just for fun. Enter the legendary gambler aka BIG FISH . Gradually they get involved in high stakes gambling with Will unluckily losing a few . He goes on losing and doubling the amount again and again till he plays his final bet . Behold, the crux is here.This part of the scene is quite well engineered , drawing on our sense of support for a beat down yet good person. When WIll started betting big I thought this was gonna be one of those scenes where the confidence of the expert is shattered and then the movie revolves around how he wins it all back. There are so many possibilities a scene can be used to depict. However I don’t wanna give away too much.The scenes showing Will distressed on losing are convincing and set the mood for a fightback which will inevitably impact the viewer later on. What I really wanna point out is the synergy of the scene and the music.

When Margot finally spots the decoy and the song Sympathy for the Devil starts playing you almost feel a radiant joy on your face. There is something in the song , I bet . The scene is pure joy. The camera toggles between Margot’s gorgeous eyes and Will’s hidden confidence face, building on the anticipation of the viewer. I strongly suggest that you go ahead and have a look at this scene. It’s scenes like these that I am usually on the lookout for. Something dreamy,something different,that the director would have dreamt of quite a few times. Happens with all of us. Part of a whole that becomes special and we give it our best shot, hoping that it becomes a representative of the overall effort made by us. You know what , while you are at it just watch the whole movie. Ain’t that bad . Definite one time watch. Hope it motivates you !
