He snatched other people's treasury, and by the way he also snatched his wife back.

Perhaps the above statement should be said in reverse. I think of a dialogue between Danny (George Clooney) and Rusty (Brad Pitt) in the film: You must learn to walk before you learn to crawl.

Danny: You gotta walk before you crawl.

Rusty: Reverse that.

After all, the theme is love. It is the wife who has been thinking about the plan to grab the treasury. At the end of the film, George Clooney came out of prison, Julia Roberts waited for him in the car, and the two kissed affectionately.

The director really knows who to put with whom to look good. Therefore, making such a big-name film is a commercial success, and the audience is also pleasing to the eye. The design of the robbery part is also exquisite, and the money was shipped out through eighteen turns, but it was not difficult to understand, so the box office was high. Filming shouldn't be difficult. They are all very experienced actors. It is said that Julia Roberts's scene was filmed in only two weeks. Of course, the big names have taken the initiative to lower their prices, otherwise the cost of acting alone will be higher than the sky.

Brad Pitt kept eating and eating in the scene. Behind the scenes it is said that the filming is too busy, time is tight and there is no time to eat-but other actors have not eaten like this, Pete. Linus (Matt Damon) followed Julia Roberts. He and Pete watched her walking down the stairs together. In this scene, Pete is said to have eaten forty shrimps. It is estimated that he ate too much. When Clooney was released from prison, Pete was still eating, but his stomach was obviously upset, so he pressed his upper abdomen.

In nearly every scene Rusty's in, he's eating something. According toB rad Pitt, this is because the whole gang (his character in particular) would be so busy that they'd rarely be able to eat; it was decided that Rusty would just eat all the time. He first mentioned this when he was eating after having worked all day without a break for lunch and was hungry, because he thought it would be a good character trait for Rusty Ryan as well. This leads to a gag at the end of the film where Rusty gets heartburn and throws the food away.

During the several takes it took to shoot the scene in which Rusty and Linus are spying on Tess as she is introduced coming down the stairs,Brad Pitt, who plays Rusty eating shrimp from a shrimp cocktail, ate 40 shrimp.

Many plays are improvised by the actors themselves. For example, the order of the last ten arhats leaving the fountain is improvised except for the first and last ones set by the director. Many of the lines are also temporary. For example, this line when Frank was arrested by Linus pretending to be an official of the Nevada Gambling Regulatory Commission: They might as well call it whitejack!

Lines in tribute to "Casablanca":

Tess: [ was talking privately over dinner with Danny until Terry finally shows up ] Danny was walking through the restaurant when he spotted me.

Terry: Is that right?

Danny: Yeah, imagine the odds.

Terry: [ sarcastically, partially quoting one of Rick's line's from Casablanca ] Of all the gin joints in all the world.

In addition to the big names in the film industry at the time, the Teen idols that Rusty started teaching card games in the movie were also young actors who were popular in TV shows at the time: Holly Marie Combs in Charmed in 1998, Topher Grace in That '70s Show in 1998, 1998 Joshua Jackson in Dawson's Creek in 1996, Barry Watson in 7th Heaven in 1996, and Shane West in Once and Again in 1999.

Because the age is too far away, I am not very familiar with these young actors. But in the end, Shane West starred in CW "Nikita" with Maggie Q.

Whoever puts it together is pretty!
