Eddie pursues pure billiards itself. The external behavior is that he must let the fat man confess his defeat and disdain to just win money. The inner motivation is to be honest with Sarah during the picnic. One of the prerequisites for talented people is to enjoy this. process. Because of his frankness, Sarah also confessed her absolute love to him, and thought that he won, he had something that no one else did.

To realize Eddie’s talent, he needs the role of a partner. The previous partners are too weak, and the later partners are too cruel. They are investors and speculators. Through layout, Eddie’s talent is turned into real money. Once Eddie matures, the share can range from 75 to 55 or even two to 30%, because Eddie can find any smart and well-funded partner, and the biggest investment is always in the process of entering the mature period.

To Eddie, Sarah is more sophisticated and sophisticated, precious to Eddie's talents and talents. The mask said, comparing the opening and exiting bets with Fatty, Eddie's happiness and anger were written on his face in the opening, and the fat was calm, and at the end he was meticulous, decent and understanding, special character, and has a certain relationship with the face. The process of growth requires sacrifice.

The direct cause of Sarah's suicide was probably the sober recognition of Eddie who wanted to sacrifice herself. She committed suicide in him, not in her own bathroom next door, and was wearing pajamas, presumably Eddie could understand what happened. In those days, women were more passive and low-minded. Nowadays, the male protagonist in the positive image of the movie dares to unreasonably slap the female protagonist in the face.

    After reading it, I found that Martin's "The Color of Money" was a sequel in a sense, and it was dedicated to Paul Newman. I personally like this kind of play, the scope is very small, the story of a snooker "liar" to beat another snooker player "Minnesota fat man", the scene is the snooker room, the room, in the daily depression, it means more focus , the change of the character's character is also more profound. In fact, the lines of this script are very classic: challenge - failure - changing factors (women, love) - challenge again - see through the outcome. According to this line, you can shoot many works of the same type, which can be very exciting and inspirational, but I prefer this kind of work with more personality, with concise lines, focused shots, simple goals, and strong masculine characteristics, like a corner of depression and failure. Even love is lost in the end. These scenes are often more convincing in terms of winning and losing, and winning or losing is the key to opening the plot. Suddenly I remembered "Unfortunate". How much can be lost in exchange for change, and how long is the dawn before them?
