Avery：Mitch的导师，为事务所帮黑帮洗钱并因此获得金钱与权力。这几乎是Mitch的未来倒影。然而他有着一个不爱他的妻子，于是只能从海滩派对的女人堆中获取慰藉。用Abby最后的话来说，"He was decent... and corrupt and ruined and so unhappy..."无疑，在最后的关头，不知道是幡然醒悟还是已然厌倦，他选择了爱情，即便可能只是一份无疾而终毫无回报的单相思。
2.What does Mitch value? Does this change during the movie?
Loyalty is the willingness to make an investment or personal sacrifice to strengthen a relationship.
对国家的忠诚，对上帝的忠诚，对金钱与权力的忠诚，每个人面对自己的loyalty都会做出截然不同的选择。而这个选择是没有对错的，只有对于个人而言的“值得还是不值得”。
"When we are debating an issue, loyalty means giving me your honest opinion, whether you think I'll like it or not. Disagreement, at this stage, stimulates me. But once a decision has been made, the debate ends. From that point on, loyalty means executing the decision as if it were your own."
Said by Colin Powell.
4. To whom/what are you loyal? Why?
这是一个我们每个人都需要扪心自问的问题。
放置在美国，我们可以收获到很多诸如“上帝”、“国家”一类的答案。然而在中国，对于现在的年青一代来说，什么才是值得效忠的呢？是一个不断丧失民心的party？是当今风行的金钱与权力取向？还是那看上去很美的自由与快乐？
Loyalty is the willingness to make an investment or personal sacrifice to strengthen a relationship.
你做出了什么牺牲，你又愿意为此而放弃什么。
Loyalty便是自我价值观天平上的砝码，只需一个笃定的点头便可以为一段关系画下一个壮阔的句点。
思考之后的我的回答——
First of all, I'm loyal to freedom and the beauty of life. Anyone who can not provide me that surely won't gain my loyalty. That's because being a human is my most important and basic identity. Things like nationality, social status are attached onto later, and also mobile and dynamic. I devote certain loyalty to them, but never would I have the order reversed.
Other than that, I'm also loyal to those I love. My parents, my lover, my friends, they are the reason why I'm still joyful with humanities and positive about life. Without them, I'm nothing.
