The old film in the 1970s won seven awards including the Oscar for best picture and best director, and it is very popular. The reason why it is talked about today is not entirely because of Paul Newman's gentleman and wise image, but more Not exactly like Brad Pitt's niche, but the hoax in the film itself.
Although the title of the film is "Cheat Within Cheat", from the very beginning, we found that the simplest and most common deception tactics have continued to this day. It still retains the essence of it - the crotch mold takes advantage of the weakness of people's greed for petty and cheap, and has repeatedly attacked, and it is a hundred shots, which is very consistent with the incidents that often appear in the news now. It's not to say how high the gold content of this kind of trick is.
Lies make people succeed for a while but have nowhere to hide. The meticulous arrangement and superb acting are the manifestations of gathering super high IQ and EQ. When watching the film, the finale of "The Royal Anti-Thousands" flashed in my mind. It's true and false. It's true and false, and it's life after death. It's quite the taste of this film, but it's just a contest between two or three people. The deception of a super-strong lineup with pomp, organization and discipline is successful.
A good film is not complicated and does not require special effects skills, but it can be regarded as a good learning material.

    This type of film actually won an Oscar that year, but the film at that time was really more focused on storytelling.

    These two ace partners, how to match how everyone likes to watch. The screenwriter is quite smart, but he always thinks that the most exciting part of the whole film is the ending. I hope the first and second scenes can attract me more, maybe that will make me fall in love with this film deeply. Now, at most, I appreciate the screenwriter's design of the ending.
