    Watching Paul Newman playing handsome and playing billiards is already very good, but what is really surprising is the breakthrough of the film’s genre and the depth of thinking. It’s a pity that the director is too bad for rhythm, the camera, the lines, and all the highlights are basically not the first 50 minutes. It’s horrible to have control over only 3...

    7.9 points Paul Newman's personal temperament is very suitable for this movie, bohemian, full of personality. He ups and downs on the billiard table and eventually won the victory, but in exchange for life trauma that is difficult to...

    Anti-climax alternative sports films, there is no bloody struggle, more of a process of self-struggle and reconstruction in the brokenness. The arrogant gambler and billiard player, the drunk girl who has been missing since childhood, the two met each other on the road of self-destructive tendency, saved each other, and missed each other forever...

    9.0/10. ① In the first part, the arrogant male protagonist lost the billiards duel, but he fell in love with the female protagonist. In the second part, the male protagonist won the billiards championship through various efforts but caused his girlfriend to commit suicide because of his career. ②The photography level is very high (light and shadow/composition), and the processing of several billiard table duels (scheduling, editing, dissolving omission, etc.) is very good. ③As a traditional...
