Vegas: Based on a True Story (2008)

Eddie Parker, an American blue-collar worker, lives on the outskirts of Las Vegas with his wife Tracy and his 12-year-old son. As an avid gambler, Eddie never made him a lot of money. On the other hand, Tracy takes care of her broken home like a small garden in the desert. At this moment, a mysterious stranger appeared. He claimed that they could help his family out of trouble. Las Vegas: true stories is directed by Iranian Amir Nadri. He has been living in America for nearly 20 years. In this film, he tries to use the medium-and long-distance shooting techniques that are often used in art films to tell a very popular and very bad business story. Once the audience goes through the first few minutes of the film and becomes familiar with the shooting methods of the film, they will find that the story is still very good. The commercial approach of "Las Vegas" can teach many people a lesson: the film's theme is quite American, that is, it is quite popular, and it uses an experimental medium-distance shooting technique.
