Worst lover

Karina 2021-12-07 08:01:38

The worst lover played by Paul Newman. Apart from sex and alcohol, what else can he communicate with his girl? His poor girlfriend, his maid, loves him, twisted, sick, humble. But he only sees winning and glory, and winning is glory.
Although it is an American movie, it is in the style of the French New Wave. This movie just shows that people who invent and master technology and have talent will never be able to fight thieves and rule-makers. No matter how talented you are, you are still at the mercy of others. The value you create should also allow others to take away half or even more. But if there is no rule maker to escort you, you are worthless. They can easily break your finger and make you scrap. A person who knows the current affairs is a junjie, which means that you have to admit defeat and bow your head sensibly.

    There are subtle themes and great characterization, but the whole movie looks daunting and tedious. Paul Newman's performance is really good, but in the progress of the story like boiled water, the appeal is always limited.

    I like the relationship between the hero and heroine and the light atmosphere of the era, but these high-quality elements have little to do with the central theme, the story arrangement is dull and sloppy, and finally the fate of the hero is difficult to form an impact on the audience.

The Hustler quotes

  • Bert Gordon: I don't think there's a pool player alive shoots better pool than I saw you shoot the other night at Ames. You got talent.

    Fast Eddie: So I got talent. So what beat me?

    Bert Gordon: Character.

  • Fast Eddie: I don't rattle, kid. But just for that I'm gonna beat you flat.
