      Experiential performance

      But the appearance of Paul Newman is outstanding. Compared with his later role, especially after the age of 40, the studio temperament of his experiential actor in this period is more prominent, showing a publicly aggressive male temperament. At this point, it looks like Marlon Brando. Let us think of Brando in the period of "Dock Storm", "Speed ​​Car Party" and "Street Car" not only because of Paul's white undershirt and slightly curled head, but also because of the cigarette dangling from his...

      The recovery of the lost spirit of the capital society


       "The Prodigal Son" has a vague film review.

         I can't bear the dust of Pearl. Even black and white film from the early sixties.

         Just as the performance of "Quick Hand Eddie" played by Paul Newman in the pool hall made the onlookers exclaimed and speechless.

        This only nine Oscar nominations embrace black and white story, it must be the judges for its wonderful measures
      after less than a hand, it found no suitable award.

        The female...

First of all, he has to challenge the legendary Minnesota Fatty, who is too eager to win and feels buoyant. Eddie, anxious, failed after all. Depressed and depressed, he met Sarah, a strange woman suffering from polio.

      This feeling can be regarded as a remembrance, but it was already at a loss.

      Reading a good book and watching a good movie are very meaningful things in life for me. Whenever I watch an applauding movie, I am determined to write this post-view, so that I can live up to the fate of my encounter with this masterpiece in the journey of time. In this era of increasing pursuit of fast food culture, I am writing less and less long articles. The aftermath of the last long post was "Into Africa". I admired a strong and self-reliant woman; this time, I was bewitched by a...

      The disillusionment of the American dream

      This is also an immortal masterpiece that is seriously underestimated, and one of my personal favorite Paul Newman films.

      God gave Paul Newman a face like a marble sculpture and a pair of deep blue eyes like a tropical ocean. It was not until the age of 36 that he unabashedly showed the world on the screen-"Jiang Hu" "The Prodigal Son" is the perfect bloom of his idol temperament; this film is also the pioneering work of his series of anti-hero images, including his later famous...

      It's really surprising that a movie in the '60s could get this far. People who are addicted to gambling can never see that others are taking advantage of them by gambling. It's a pity to lose a good...

      Favorite black and white film, the lens is beautiful, just right, Paul, Newman. Handsome, dashing, tall and straight, Sarah, charming and lovely. The agent is cold and heartless. The overall plot is...

      Not as exciting as expected. I had won from the beginning, and I could delay the overall situation for a while. After meeting the girl, they could have lived a happy life together. But he was bewitched by others. He brought up the pool cue and fought in the rivers and lakes. In fact, he was just making money for others, and in the end, he also risked the girl's life. This is a different American dream movie, which makes people feel a little sad and helpless. The young and vigorous Paul Newman...

      Mr. Newman's ball skills are good, praise! Laurie is beautiful, and temperamentally beautiful, and the design of her lame character is fantastic. I think the final fight was a game too, and the bet was that he never set foot in the high-end billiards ring, and Burt didn't really want Eddie's life. Eddie is always a loser. loser in life. Like Burt said, it was...

    Evaluation action

    Although the title of the film is translated as "the liar of the rivers and lakes", there are not too many cheating experiences and tricks in the film. This is a movie about small people struggling and transcending on the road of life. It is an inspirational story about winning or losing and personality, money and emotions. The protagonist, Eddie, has outstanding skills and is open-minded, but because of his youth and vigor, he won...

    • Fast Eddie: You sure don't leave much when you miss, do you, Fats?

      Minnesota Fats: That's what the game's all about

    • Fast Eddie: You saw me beat Minnesota Fats for eighteen thousand dollars.

      Bert Gordon: Look, you wanna hustle pool, don't you? This game isn't like football. Nobody pays you for yardage. When you hustle you keep score real simple. The end of the game you count up your money. That's how you find out who's best. That's the only way.

    • Fast Eddie: I loved her, Bert. I traded her in on a pool game. But that wouldn't mean anything to you. Because who did you ever care about? Just win, win, you said, win, that's the important thing. You don't know what winnin' is, Bert. You're a loser. 'Cause you're dead inside, and you can't live unless you make everything else dead around ya.
