Dissolving the Ego
Please watch the trailer. Better yet, watch the movie. It's all there, in a beautifully crafted story.
REVOLVER
[link to www.imdb.com]
"The formula has infinite depth in its efficacy and application, but it is staggeringly simple and completely consistent. Rule one of any game or con, you can only get smarter by playing a smarter opponent. Rule number two: The more sophisticated the game, the more sophisticated the opponent.
If the opponent is very good, he will place his victim inside an environment he can control. The bigger the environment, the easier the control. He’ll toss the dog a bone, find their weakness, give them just a little of what they think they want. So the opponent simply distracts their victim by getting them consumed with their own consumption… The bigger the trick and older the trick, the easier it is to pull, based on two principles: They think it can’t be that old, or they think it can’t be that big for so many people to have fallen for it.
Eventually, when the opponent is challenged or questioned, it means the victim’s investment, and thus his intelligence, is questioned. No one can accept that. Not even to themselves.”
