Three questions:

1、What’s the main idea and the message or value of the documentary that the director is going to convey?

Two brothers, Ivan and David, born in the same family, also could be totally different. What causes you to be rich or poor, mindset, environment or attitude? 

2、Find three points that most touching or what you think is the most important details(conversation、picture or plot).

A、They were treated differentlly when they were young, David was younger and had good relationship with father and step father, Ivan always had the feeling of lack of stability,  he started to work at age of 12 and earn his first fortune at 21. But David was naughty, spoiled and never achieved any learning target or well- behaved.

B、David condemned Ivan, did you buy me a boat as you promised? Ivan said sorry and always in a calm way, in contrast, David was aggressive and excited. I don't know whether it's just because they are shooting the documentary and rich man would show his image, Ivan kept talking with smile in face of David's anger face and shouts. While, poor man asks for things with no reason, no one owes you anything, if you wanna a boat, go for it by yourself.

C、David took Ivan to join his activity, just few low wages people get together to complain or guess some conspiracies, besides arguing, they can do nothing, really meaningless. Comparing to Ivan's activities,  poor brother is just wasting time on nonsense things.

3、What did you learn from the documentary?

To be rich, make effort and work hard from very young. Have good habits and don't spoil kid. No complains and do meaningful things. If you want something, get it by yourself, never rely on anyone else.

4、The background of the story.

Ivan and David are brothers, Ivan is a billionaire and David lives at the bottom of the socity.
