Thank you for joining us on this edition of your favorite movie review blog. This edition delves into the gangster movie titled The Gentlemen starring super weights from Hollywood. Its a gangster story with a lot of social inferences. Enjoy reading. 

  • The Professional Students 
    Micheal (Matthew McConaughey) never graduated but he amassed a fortune dealing drugs on campus. In reality, during my university days, we used to call such individuals professional students. Each admission year, they waited for new female students to entrap to the systems of sexual enslavement, and new male students to introduce to secret cults and drugs. It seems like an introduction to social circles and freedom from the eyes of their parents. However, the drugs subdue intelligence and leads to wanking, bad grades, and subservience. Our world needs rebalancing. Science is lacking, society is lacking, and our civility is terrible. These are consequences of the continued existence of such corruption in higher institutions. These systems offer a distraction from intelligence to gullibility towards vanity without substance. Vanity isn't wealth, certainly not with social degradation. There are many individuals who upon being introduced to such systems decide that they do not need to do anything but serve the system. Such individuals never achieve their true innate potentials, hence our world loses.
  • Eternally Greedy 
    The movie symbolizes the killings and violence associated with greed among drug dealers as various deals go awry and end in fatality. Just like we reviewed in the movie Mortdecai, dirty dealers are eternally greedy, like blackmailers they'd always come back for more. Its better to never get involved. It is an enslaving system that would put you under more pressure at the slightest opportunity you have to relax. 

 

  • Illegal Affluence 
    The affluent life styles in the movie helps symbolize a world bonded to wrongness. A world were mostly evil doers prosper. The fruiting of the women, the blessings of the masses are all in the hands of the illegals. What then is our society and systems of law about? Well, our society is mostly made up of subduing systems that relegate the honest hard worker to more hard work and blesses the illegals with enticing affluence to influence and corrupt other people. We need more balance in our society. We certainly need deeper understanding of the flow and interaction between the two forces of creation and how it impacts the cosmic systems that guide our existences. 
  • No Way Out 
    Mikey's decision to get out of the drug business only releases a sequence of one complication after another, and a trail of dead bodies and competitors. There's no way out of the system once you're bonded by the tenets is what it seems to say. The best way to overcome a problem is to prevent it in the first place. Like martial arts masters say, the best way to win a fight is to avoid one. The system enslaves in the disguise of blessing, so they don't want you out to enjoy your spoils. They ensure you remain bonded by the many inconveniences, dangers, and stress associated with membership. Nothing good comes easy, there's always a catch to the easy meal.  

 

  • Cutthroat System 
    Dry Eyes warns Lord George that 'there comes a point where the young succeed the old'. He refers to the fact that the new members are always looking for ways to become more powerful than the older generation. The gentlemen are savages in expensive suits, not models or sex symbols. They are common savages dragging primitiveness along the path of civilization and development. Its all based on a cutthroat system without regards to those who bear the ills. The women who need to do more humiliating activities to symbolize the power rating of their enslavers or the humble fools who need to bear more enslavements to sustain the system. It is a system that does our world no good. This savagery is expressed as wars between countries at a higher level and if humanity doesn't overcome these ill feelings, it would become interplanetary wars. Which ultimately leads to the great fall from Star Wars (see Our Perspective).
