What would you do if you discovered a way to outsmart the system and make millions? How would you balance risk, ethics, and ambition? In this Watch & Talk session, hosted by Mateusz, we’ll explore these questions as we dive into the thrilling world of 21. Based on a true story of a group of mostly Asian students who mastered the art of card counting to beat casinos, the film controversially white-washed its cast, raising questions about representation and Hollywood’s storytelling choices. Alongside the excitement of blackjack strategy, we’ll delve into the real-life events that inspired the movie and how the story was reimagined for the screen.

This isn’t just a film night—it’s a deep dive into themes of ambition, privilege, and morality. We’ll discuss the ethics of cheating versus skill, the societal pressures that drive success, and the power dynamics of systemic injustice. And for a fun, interactive twist, we’ll learn the basics of card counting, just like the characters in the movie! Whether you’re a blackjack enthusiast or just love a good story, this session promises a thought-provoking and entertaining ride.

Let's watch scenes from 21, a film that turned a true story into Hollywood gold. And, of course, let’s have a deep, fun, and intelligent discussion about our mutual cinematic journey!
