I really don’t understand how Bradley Cooper won the Oscar nomination for his performance. The role he played is so annoying and uninteresting. If it weren’t for Christian Bale to play with him, it’s really hard to watch it with interest. End this story.
In terms of storytelling, David O. Russell did not continue his magic in the previous Silver Linings Playbook. It seems that from the beginning of the film, you have been joking with the audience. For stories like this, you can choose to tell them in a humorous way, but they should not be loose as a whole and give the impression that they are not serious. Such an American scam, if you think about it, is not clever at all, and there are even a lot of plot holes. If it is a purely silly story, it should be advertised that it is adapted from a real story. It’s just like this. The adaptation, how much truth remains in the script, I am afraid that only the director and screenwriter know best.
American Hustle could have been a shocking annual masterpiece, but it did not reach its full potential, which is really regrettable. . .
