    Jake LaMotta cameo as a bartender, but I don't know which bartender. In order to understand the movie, I studied the rules of Kailen billiards. I first looked at old Newman's money...

    The IMDB250 sweeping plan, there are more than 20 people who are not interested, and the progress is slow. Scorsese made a sequel to it, and Newman took an apprentice named Tom...

    La performance impeccable des acteurs et la lucidité de la mise en scène équilibre de Rossen contribuent pleinement à la qualité incontestable du film, dont le seul bémol se révèle la prévisibilité du récit ainsi que son rythme...

    After reading it, I found that Martin's "The Color of Money" was a sequel in a sense, and it was dedicated to Paul Newman. I personally like this kind of play, the scope is very small, the story of a snooker "liar" to beat another snooker player "Minnesota fat man", the scene is the snooker room, the room, in the daily depression, it means more focus , the change of the character's character is also more profound. In fact, the lines of this script are very classic: challenge - failure -...

    There are subtle themes and great characterization, but the whole movie looks daunting and tedious. Paul Newman's performance is really good, but in the progress of the story like boiled water, the appeal is always...

    An anti-inspirational and anti-climax sports movie, a movie with a calm narrative but always wanting to burst into inner passion. People who are caught in the predicament of fanaticism can only get out and return to human nature in a simple and rude way. I have to say that the opening match against Fatty really made me feel the sleepy and chaotic physiological state after playing for dozens of hours in a very short period of time. I praised Newman's performance and Rosen's directing. 【1961 Top...

    It has been stored on the hard drive for two years, and now I look at it and feel guilty. How can there be such an excellent movie, but it is so sad. I may really have a soft spot for these movies that gradually lead to destruction in the confusion (Rebel without a Cause, The True Story of A Fei), but I can't bear the aftershocks that it brings after it, love it and hate it, maybe that's it. Completely impressed by Paul Newman's acting...

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?
