Jennifer and Cooper starred in "Happiness Line" in 12 years and bundled "American Scam" in 13 years. The director wanted a self-righteous chatter, so Cooper came. Although he had a beard on his face, his voice was too recognizable; he wanted an aura of actor to play an American stupid sister, so Jennifer came. , A post-90s who acted as a silly woman in the 80s who sang the song "Live and let Die" while doing sanitation at home. When BGS's "How can you mend a broken heart" was sung, it was a perfect match. She was sad and crying, and I wanted to cry; I wanted a male protagonist willing to sacrifice for the movie, so Bell came, with his Mediterranean head and big belly, I didn’t recognize him for five minutes before I was born. If this corrupt belly is not made by a makeup artist, I am not curious about how he wants to lose it after filming, but what I am interested in is how this belly is so uniform; if you want a less sexy one, come Pretending to be sexy, so sister Amy came; wanted someone as kind and cute as a dog, full of lofty ambitions, but was deceived in the film, so Renner came... and even got De Niro, Deeply reproduce the style of his gang boss.
The truth is the same all over the world, and the scams all over the world are similar. The scammers set up tricks to deceive people and take advantage of human weaknesses. When people feel profitable, they are most likely to be deceived. Under the shroud of deceit, all the simplicity, courage, ability, love, ambition...have become embarrassing, and those greedy faces and cover-up tricks exude a disgusting smell. Ordinary deception is just hateful or annoying, but political deception and deception to the people are simply disgusting. The film starts with the smallest deception in our daily lives. A Mediterranean uncle, who doesn't do anything when he wakes up early in the morning, first uses a wig to cover up his head defects and puts on a suit to cover up his belly. This is how the deceptive day begins. Little lies are of course innocuous, but the world is still full of many kinds of deceptions, several people deceive one, several people deceive a group, one person lie to another person or even the whole world... The saddest thing in life is actually deceiving yourself. Oneself, and sometimes, self-deception can also become a reason and incentive to continue to survive and struggle.
Although the film is two hours long, the content is too extensive. The first half mainly explains the background. The director didn't say any nonsense, and all the points were selected. The impetuous society at that time, the turmoil of the people, the political exaggeration, the abuses of the legal system... I have to say everything, but it also messes up the narrative and looks so tired. Finally, it’s the point. The FBI has recruited scammers to set up a bureau, and intends to come to a "phishing law enforcement" to spot corrupt elements in the parliament. ), in the end, the poor mayor was induced to go to jail along with the big assholes, making people sigh and yelling for him. But thinking about it carefully, everyone has the potential to be corrupt. Naturally, how much control we need to suppress this little greed.
Although the film is titled "Scam", it was discovered by the director who fooled into the theater that the director did not intend to carefully set the "bureau". You can learn from other sources. Human nature and emotions in life are what we should pay attention to. The deception and political skills of ordinary people are not on the same level. Political deception can be bloodthirsty and can destroy humanity, but "little liars" whose purpose is to survive. We still need emotional support, the temperature of flesh and blood, tears and pain, joy and sorrow.
"Gatsby" is nostalgic for the extravagance of the 1920s, and "Scam" is nostalgic for the impetuousness of the 1970s. As a nostalgic film, the director selected the most representative songs of the 70s, BGS, Elton John, Jack Jones, Ellington... or affectionate or rock or jazz, as well as the familiar Disco style, see Listening to these songs during the film, I can still be excited, at least that was the time when I was born, pay tribute to my childhood.
