赌博很有趣,因此看着其他人赌博以高风险。我们都想感受到这种怪异的欣喜状态,几部电影使我们能够通过大屏幕体验到这种感觉。

From the underdog who wants to cash in玩轮盘like in the movie Casino, to thetalented poker playerhoping to beat their opponents in Rounders. We’ve put together a list of the five amazing gambling-inspired movies.

1.赌场(1996)

Any movie that includes Martin Scorcese, Joe Pesci, and Robert DeNiro has to be a blockbuster, right?

将莎朗·斯通(Sharon Stone)的诱人魅力,出色的支持表演以及摄影史上一些最令人难忘的场景融入其中,很容易意识到为什么赌场is regarded as the most famous gambling movie ever.

赌场is perhaps the movie that has done the most impressive work, as it brought the opulent and elusive Sin City lifestyle to the audience. It also marvellously depicted the two sides of Las Vegas — the glitz and the glamour, together with its cruel and often brutal dealings.

The movie tells the tale of how the organized crime syndicate ran several casinos back in the day, and also shows a love triangle between a girl and two gangsters. Oh, and did I forget to mention that it’s based on real events?

2.圆形球员(1998)

If you really want to understand how the high roller poker works and you wish to catch a glimpse of how high stakes poker players think, thenRounderis a must-watch movie for you. The movie didn’t become an instant hit upon release back in 1998, but it found new audiences with the boom of online casinos and poker sites in the last two decades or so.

The plot of the film revolves around two students, played by Ed Norton and Matt Damon, who are forced to return to the poker in order to pay off a massive debt. And just as they come on the brink of finally paying off Worm’s (Ed Norton) debts, they lose everything.

So, it’s then up to Mike (Matt Damon) to take matters into his hands and beat the main protagonist once and for all. With apologies to the exceptional performances by Norton and Damon, the star of the movie is really the game itself.

3.赌场Royale (2006)

No matter if you’re a fan of the James Bond franchise or not, this is a movie you must watch if you’re looking for a thrilling casino-related theme. There are two versions of Ian Fleming’s story, but we opted for the younger and undoubtedly more accomplished one.

Daniel Craig stars the legendary 007 agent James Bond who is sent by the MI6 to prevent the main villain from winning a high stakes poker game.

The movie features one of the most unforgettable scenes in recent cinematography history — the exciting showdown when Bond takes on his opponent in a ‘win-or-go-home’ game. The pace is intense, Eva Green is splendid, and poker scenes are simply mesmerizing.

4.The Gambler(1974)

They say that the best stories are rooted in reality, which is what makesThe Gamblerthat compelling. The movie tells the story of a university professor, played by the legendary James Caan, who get addicted to gambling. As the story unfolds, we see Caan’s character plunge into self-destruction as he struggles to control his urge for thrills.

The first half of the movie was based on the writer James Toback’s real-life gambling experiences. As for the brilliant climax — don’t expect one. This is one for the gambling aficionados who will be able to identify with the main character.

The Gamblerrealistically depicts the dangerous consequences of gambling and serves as a cautionary tale against the addiction of any kind.

5.Ocean’s 11(2001)

We’re going with the Brad Pitt/George Clooney remake here, not the original Rat-Pack movie. The original is stunning — there are no ands, ifs or buts about it, but there’s something that feels more energetic about the 2001 version and also does a better job at targeting the younger populations.

这部电影讲述了一个关于11名职业罪犯的故事,因为他们试图揭开美国最大的赌场抢劫美国曾见过的最大的赌场抢劫案 - 罗布,三个最杰出的拉斯维加斯赌场 - MGM Grand,Bellagio和Mirage。使这部电影成为绝对经典的众多内容之一是崇高的演员,包括布拉德·皮特(Brad Pitt),乔治·克鲁尼(George Clooney),朱莉娅·罗伯茨(Julia Roberts)和马特·达蒙(Matt Damon),仅举几例。
