Good evening, Mr. Sugar. Said the man whose job it was to never forget a face.

5

He couldn’t understand why he felt so little excitement about this success. If this had happened three years ago, before the yoga, he’d have gone crazy with excitement, he’d be rushing off to a nightclub to celebrate. But Henry didn’t feel excited. He felt sad. Every time he made a bet, he’d been certain to win. There was no thrill, no suspense, no danger. He knew he could travel around the world making millions. But was it going to be any fun?

Quotes from The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar 2023 Film on Netflix

6

Henry Sugar was 41 years old, unmarried and rich. He was rich because he had a rich father who was now dead. Was unmarried because he was too selfish to share any of his money with a wife.

7

He was 6’2″ tall, and not perhaps as handsome as he thought he was. He paid a great deal of attention to his clothes. He went to an expensive tailor for his suits, to a shirt maker for his shirts, and to a boot maker for his shoes. His hairdresser trimmed his hair once every ten days, and he always took a manicure at the same time. He drove a Ferrari motor car which cost him about the same as a country cottage.

8

The 10 million is never enough. Nor is 20 million. Always they suffer the insatiable longing for more money and the terror of waking up one morning and finding nothing in the bank.

9

Henry caught the dealer’s look, realized he’d made a silly mistake. He’d attracted attention. “I beg your pardon.” He must never do that again. He must be very careful, even make himself lose occasionally.

10

Dr. Chatterjee: “He saw it!” I cried. “He saw that trolley! This is unbelievable!” I was flabbergasted.

Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes, Dev Patel, Ben Kingsley, Rupert Friend, and Richard Ayoade.

Quotes from The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar Movie on Netflix

11

An extraordinary thing happened. All at once, he sees through his own skin. Like an X-ray, only better. He sees everything.

12

Henry was now almost certainly capable of making money faster than any other person in the entire world. Interesting.

13

Another thing. Was it not entirely possible the process of acquiring yoga powers had completely and utterly changed his entire outlook on life? It was possible.

14

Henry felt a powerful electricity tingling through his entire body, and there began to come to him an idea that was to change everything. He started pacing up and down, ticking off the points that would make his idea possible.

15
One. I’m going to win a very large sum of money each and every day of my life from this moment forward.
16

Two. I can go to the same casino only once every six months.

17

Three. I must never win too much money in one sitting. £50,000 pounds a night, that’s my limit.

18

Four. £50,000 a night for 365 days a year. That’s £18.25 million.

19

Five. Keep moving. No more than three nights at a stretch in any city. London, Monte-Carlo, Cannes, Biarritz, Deauville, Las Vegas, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Nassau.

20

Six. I’ll take the money and establish hospitals and orphanages around the world. Corny and sentimental as a dream, but as a reality, I think I can make it work. I don’t think it’d be corny at all. It would be wonderfully stupendous.

21

Seven. I need a partner who can sit behind a desk and receive the money, then send it where it’s needed. Someone I can deeply, emphatically, categorically trust forever.

Plot The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023) movie

Henry Sugar, a wealthy man who enjoys gambling, comes across a doctor’s report about a peculiar patient, “The Man Who Sees Without Using His Eyes.” This patient could see even when his eyes were closed, and his head was bandaged. As a result, the man used this unique talent to earn money as part of a circus act. Throughout his life, he was deeply fascinated with magic and studied under Yogi Hardawar in India. Eventually, under Hardawar’s guidance, he learned to see through thin objects like paper or playing cards and even around solid things like a wooden door if he could touch it with a finger or hand.
Henry stole a book that taught him to see through playing cards and predict the future. He took the book and learned the method for three years. Now, Henry can use his powers to win money at a casino. Eventually, he knows when to bet on the right number on a roulette wheel and can win at blackjack. However, he doesn’t want people to know about his abilities, so he doesn’t do anything too flashy.

Henry wins enough money to buy a small house or a big car, but he realizes that the excitement of winning or losing is gone because it was too easy. Henry feels disgusted by the money the following day and throws it off his balcony. People in London start fighting to collect the twenty-pound notes falling from Henry’s apartment. A police officer scolds Henry and tells him to find a legal way to help others. Henry promises to create the best orphanages in the world. With the help of his accountant and an artist, he travels the world using different names.
