About the film:

After graduating from college, he came to the streets of New York looking for a job. After fruitless job hunting in the city, he suddenly saw a job advertised by a financial company. Despite the low pay and long hours, he finally got a job.

However, on the first day of his appointment, the former CEO jumped out of a building, and the remaining directors tried to lower the stock price of the company in order to recover the shares of the company at a lower price. At this time, the less smart Norville entered the eyes of the directors, and he also became the president of the company in the first day.

The beauty of the newspaper in order to pursue news lurked in his side as a secretary, but the company's stock price has been falling, his evaluation in the society from people's speculation of "wisdom star" into "imbecile", in order to save his image, Norville put forward his own design of the hula hoop in the board of directors, However, his strange works made the board of directors see the hope of falling stock prices. They made a lot of hula hoops, but did not expect that hula hoops caught on and became a fashion trend.

The board of directors, who had sold their entire stake in the company in the expectation that a lowly design like the hula hoop would bring the company down, suddenly saw the company rise, and Norville's rise in fame and wealth turned him into a greedy, conceited bastard. His change of heart drove away the beautiful newspaper girls who had been attracted to him. Retaliation from the company's top brass also ensued.

Norvell's reputation crumbles when he fires the elevator man from the company after rejecting his idea, only to find that the board rehires him and makes him claim that Norvell stole the hula hoop idea.

At this time, Norville had lost all fighting spirit, but the return of the newspaper beauty made him confused. The confused Norville finally jumped out of the 45 floors of the building like the previous president, but at the arrival of the New Year, the miracle appeared, the original president turned into an angel and solved many problems for Norville. He told him that the letter he had forgotten to give to the directors contained a mandate from the original directors to return him to the helm of the company. Finally, Norville was reinvigorated, rich and in love.

Review of the film:

It's a very controversial movie to share, but

The film's attack on capitalism is still obvious. Whether it is the dim future in which others in Norville's early work area are still in their original positions after decades of working years, or the capitalists' criminal means of easily making money from the stock market, it makes people feel sad about the life of small and medium people in the capital world. Norville's transformation is also very interesting. At the beginning, he was full of enthusiasm for work and wanted to get ahead with his own inventions. Later, after being corrupted by money, he did not think ahead and even denigrated others' inventions.

In American movies, there is often a strange impression that women like simple boys. In many movies, mature American women are always moved by men's positive attitude with nothing and fall in love with each other. However, a capitalist country with a lust for profit should advocate such a simple view of love. There's some indescribable ambivalence.

Anyway, if you remember his lead role in Shawshank Redemption, you'll probably know that Shadow Tycoon isn't a bad movie. Why don't you watch it sometime
