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...

The beginning is very neat, the middle is more boring, and there is no big battle at the end. George C. Scott loves to...

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...

Although it is anti-climax, it is really old-fashioned. Even Newman's unruly and Scott's viciousness can't make people...

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... Eddie's addiction to victory made him money Slaves, the victory in the last game did not have the excitement of winning, only the pain and anger of...

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...

[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?
