Well now, let me tell ya somethin’ about that movie “Arbitrage” and how it all wraps up in the end. This film, oh boy, it’s got a whole mess of stuff goin’ on, all twistin’ around like a chicken with its head cut off. But at the end, it leaves ya wonderin’ just what’s gonna happen next. There’s a lot to think about, and that’s for sure.
Now, this Robert Miller, played by that fancy Richard Gere feller, he’s a big shot in the money world, a real top dog. But let me tell ya, he ain’t just one of those folks who got rich by workin’ hard. Nah, he’s the kind of feller who got his wealth by bendin’ the rules, maybe even breakin’ ‘em a little, if ya catch my drift. And when the movie starts, well, let’s just say he’s in a heap of trouble.
The big problem starts when he’s involved in a car accident, and someone ends up dead. Things go from bad to worse, real quick. Now, Miller’s got his whole life on the line, what with the money, the wife, and that fancy daughter of his. But there’s one thing he ain’t ready for — the truth catchin’ up with him. See, he’s been livin’ a lie, and as they say, the truth will set ya free, but it’ll also knock ya down if ya ain’t careful.
In the end, the movie gives ya this feelin’ like Miller’s about to get what’s comin’ to him. His daughter Brooke, well, she ain’t as naive as he thought, and she’s got some secrets of her own. Now, I ain’t gonna spoil the whole thing for ya, but let’s just say that things don’t look so good for Miller. He’s got a choice to make, and it’s a tough one — he either goes down with the ship, or he does what he can to save his own skin, leavin’ his family to deal with the mess he made.
Now, this is where it gets interestin’, ‘cause Ellen, his wife, gets in on it too. She knows what’s been goin’ on, and she’s not too happy about it. But here’s the kicker — she makes a deal with Miller, a deal that might just save his hide. All he’s gotta do is give his money to their daughter’s charity. Well, I’ll be darned, who would’ve thought that the ol’ gal would end up helpin’ him out like that? But that’s the thing about this movie, it keeps ya guessin’.
As Miller makes his way through the final scenes, ya can see him weighin’ his options, but the movie cuts right before he makes a decision. And that, folks, is where they leave ya hangin’. The movie don’t give ya no clear answers. Does he get away with it? Does he pay the price? I reckon that’s somethin’ you’ll have to figure out for yourself.
But here’s what I think: “Arbitrage” ain’t just about one man’s fall from grace. Oh no, it’s about the system, the way the rich folks get away with stuff and the way they use their power to keep things hush-hush. You see, Miller is like a symbol for all them people who think they’re above the law, just ‘cause they got money. In the end, though, money don’t fix everything, and maybe, just maybe, he’ll find out that all the riches in the world can’t save you from the truth.
So, in a way, the movie’s a bit of a lesson. It shows that no matter how high up you get, eventually the truth’s gonna catch up with you. And when it does, well, it’s gonna hurt. I reckon that’s the moral of the story. Ain’t no gettin’ away from it, no matter how much money you got in the bank.
In conclusion, “Arbitrage” might not give ya all the answers, but it sure makes ya think. And sometimes, that’s all a movie needs to do. It ain’t about the fancy stuff or the big twists, it’s about the message underneath. So if you ask me, the ending is a little bit of everything — sad, frustrating, and thought-provoking all at once. But that’s life, ain’t it?
