    The story is uneventful, with few bright spots. The beginning and the process were very protracted, and the duel at the end was hasty again, and a lot of big truths emerged. The rhythm is so slow that it is too shallow to see where the sadness of this story is. The heroine is also too infatuated and vulnerable. Fortunately, Paul Newman's personal charm has been supporting this film, otherwise it would be difficult to watch it all at...

    Although it is an American film, it is in the style of the French New Wave. Some of the characters in the movie aren't actors at all, just let them play themselves. This movie just shows that people who invent and master technology with their hearts and have talent can never be a thief and a rule maker. No matter how talented you are, you are still at the mercy of others. The value you create should also be taken away by others. But if you don't have a rule maker to protect you, you're...

    9. The theme of sports is no longer a boxing robber film, but also a different kind of noir film, a moral allusion to life in a poor street. The film takes irony as the master idea, and turns the "redemption plot", the magnet routine that attracts the Oscars, from positive to negative irony, and gives a sober pessimism climax. As we can see, the protagonist is obsessed with his persistence. In order to win the victory between men, even if the ruthless pursuit finally satisfies his desire, it...

    7 points, it's another "excellent work" starring Paul Newman, who doesn't like me very much. I can't say that this film is not good. The core idea of ​​this film is actually conveyed quite well, but the overall style of this film is I really can't love it. It's not so much an anti-climax as it's boring. It's boring from beginning to end. Even the soundtrack is pitiful. Although this kind of work can be watched with patience, it's really not special. like. The overall performance of this film is...

The Hustler quotes

  • [Fast Eddie is bothered because Bert called him a born loser]

    Fast Eddie: Cause, ya see, twice, Sarah... once at Ames with Minnesota Fats and then again at Arthur's, in that cheap, crummy pool room, now why'd I do it, Sarah? Why'd I do it? I coulda beat that guy, coulda beat 'im cold, he never woulda known. But I just hadda show 'im. Just hadda show those creeps and those punks what the game is like when it's great, when it's REALLY great. You know, like anything can be great, anything can be great. I don't care, BRICKLAYING can be great, if a guy knows. If he knows what he's doing and why and if he can make it come off. When I'm goin', I mean, when I'm REALLY goin' I feel like a... like a jockey must feel. He's sittin' on his horse, he's got all that speed and that power underneath him... he's comin' into the stretch, the pressure's on 'im, and he KNOWS... just feels... when to let it go and how much. Cause he's got everything workin' for 'im: timing, touch. It's a great feeling, boy, it's a real great feeling when you're right and you KNOW you're right. It's like all of a sudden I got oil in my arm. The pool cue's part of me. You know, it's uh - pool cue, it's got nerves in it. It's a piece of wood, it's got nerves in it. Feel the roll of those balls, you don't have to look, you just KNOW. You make shots that nobody's ever made before. I can play that game the way... NOBODY'S ever played it before.

    Sarah Packard: You're not a loser, Eddie, you're a winner. Some men never get to feel that way about anything.

  • Fast Eddie: You can't see it, can you, Charlie? I mean, you've never been able to see it. I came after him. And I'm gonna get him. I'm goin' with him all the way. The pool game is not over until Minnesota Fats says it's over. Is it over, Fats?
