"The Sting" is a Film Full of Tricks and Deception
The film is so full of tricks and the art of deception that viewers who watch it may feel like they've been defeated by the director's masterful deception. To avenge their best friend and boss, Paul Newman and Robert Redford orchestrate an elaborate scam to lure gang leader Robert Shaw. So it's not such an unconscionable accident that Rayford slaps Newman in the film's climactic shootout-isn't that the case with all hoaxes? But audiences and critics enjoyed the trap so much because it wasn't...

I have seen a lot of liar movies, I have been looking forward to this legendary classic for a long time, and I am disappointed after watching it.
It is unfair to evaluate such an old film now, but I still look forward to the charm of the classics, and I look at it with the mood of "there should be a surprise like "The Witness for the Prosecution", but the ending did not meet expectations.
The scam lacks suspense, and the scam that Lao Qian said in the film has not reached the high...

Paul Newman, top-notch acting among liars.
Not much else to say, there is only one sentence I want to express:
When I saw the scene of "Resurrection from the Dead", I was really upset (I didn't feel so nervous when I mistakenly thought that Hook could successfully frame him, I thought to myself). Since it's not a good person to end up not very well, it's his own fault, he can't bemoan the king of liars), and Newman lived. After he was alive, he walked in and hugged his wife. The...

Robert Redford looks like Brad Pitt from some angles.
Stories are good stories, but the 70s movies seem to be so slow-paced that people just want to sleep.
The God of Gamblers series is probably inspired by this movie.
That kind of trick-or-treating model makes me a little tired of aesthetics, but this one seems to be the grandfather.
This may be the highest state of a liar: to deceive the other party, still willingly, and have nowhere to get angry....

The storyline of the film is coherent, and there are even clear prompts before every key event. The reason why it is called "deception in deception" is because the film has two deceptions, light and dark, which is also the genius of the film. Bright Line is a scam planned and led by Gondorf to defraud Lonnigan with a huge sum of 500,000. This scam is seamless, has a long time span, and has a large number of participants. It looks very exciting. The Dark Line was a hoax that Gondorf set up to...

I like the movie very much. It has a very warm side. Paul looks too much like Xiaobu, and many details are very good. In the part of pretending to be the owner of the telegraph company, more than 30 people set up such a big game for a friend....

No comments other than covering your mouth and saying OMG. I just want to hold a loudspeaker and shout to directors all over China: This is called a good-looking movie. So...

This is basically the originator of all similar films in the future. It's a classic. The legendary Paul Newman is really extraordinary. Every move, personality, charm, etc. can't stop the film. While creating many classic bridges, it also created such a classic OST.. .The older I get, the more I like ancient...

In 1936, in Yoriet, near Chicago, three swindlers set up a trap to defraud a passer-by of money. Unexpectedly, the amount of this money was astonishingly large, and the three of them were overwhelmed with joy. ---------The story begins like this! That's what happened! The game that humans keep repeating is just like...

The beginning is quite handsome and amazing, but I really feel nothing in the middle. At the end, I get some feeling back, but it is quite bland in the moment. The whole is too loose, not very...
Henry Gondorff: What's your problem?
Doyle Lonnegan: I'm putting half a million dollars on Lucky Dan to win, third race at Riverside Park.
Henry Gondorff: Can't lay that off in time. A bet like that could break us.
[Hooker stares at him incredulously]
Doyle Lonnegan: Not only are you a cheat, you're a gutless cheat as well.
Henry Gondorff: What are the odds?
Eddie Niles: Four to one.
Henry Gondorff: Take all of it!
Doyle Lonnegan: [Repeated line] You follow?
Henry Gondorff: You have to keep this con even after you take his money. He can't know you took him.
