9. The theme of sports is no longer a boxing robber film, but also a different kind of noir film, a moral allusion to life in a poor street. The film takes irony as the master idea, and turns the "redemption plot", the magnet routine that attracts the Oscars, from positive to negative irony, and gives a sober pessimism climax. As we can see, the protagonist is obsessed with his persistence. In order to win the victory between men, even if the ruthless pursuit finally satisfies his desire, it destroys everything. Until the character exits from the camera, the story will follow suit. It won the greatest love and admiration from the audience. 388

Sarah Packard: I love you, Eddie.
Fast Eddie: You know, someday, Sarah, you're gonna settle down... you're gonna marry a college professor and you're gonna write a great book. Maybe about me. Huh? Fast Eddie Felson... hustler.
Sarah Packard: I love you.
Fast Eddie: You need the words?
Sarah Packard: Yes, I need them very much. If you ever say them I'll never let you take them back.

[in their $3,000 game, after Minnesota Fats breaks, it's Eddie's shot]
Fast Eddie: How should I play that one, Bert? Play it safe? That's the way you always told me to play it: safe... play the percentage. Well, here we go: fast and loose. One ball, corner pocket. Yeah, percentage players die broke, too, don't they, Bert?
[he makes the shot and the spectators applaud]
Fast Eddie: How can I lose?
