The Texas sun in September is scorching hot, and the early morning sun is already scorching hot. I look at the small dry garden in the backyard worryingly. The neighbor next door chats with me enthusiastically, a female teacher who moved from New York. When it comes to the recently released movie, I heard that I just watched "HUSTLERS", also translated (The Dancing Girl), and she immediately said that she has paid attention to this movie and will watch it this weekend. The reason why the American film industry is developed is that Americans like to watch movies. , and also pay attention to movies. There are automatic equipment for renting movie discs at the entrance of the supermarket, and there are various paid movie channels at home. People also like to go to the cinema to watch a movie, and then go outside to stop by.
I saw a cartoon a long time ago, an American cartoonist newspaper serial, reflecting the American night, in the dark night, the moon is high, the scene is a white man with his arms around a woman watching TV in the living room, there is a Hollywood comedy on the TV, and another The scene is of an Asian man sitting at a desk with eyes and staring at the computer, and the final scene is a black man climbing up the roof with a bag to see if there is something to steal. These scenes are in the same cartoon, the artist expresses himself honestly Understanding of American society, whether you agree with it or not, the United States recognizes freedom of expression.
At the Toronto Film Festival in early September, "The Dancing Girl" had its premiere and caused a lot of discussion. Then it was released in the United States on the weekend of September 13. In just one weekend, the box office has already rushed to 40 million. Invest about 20 million. Follow the follow-up topics brought by the film and continue to push the box office of this film.
HUSTLER refers to forced consumption, fraud, and specifically prostitutes (people who make money illegally). "The Dancing Thief" is based on true events and comes from a real reporter's report in New York magazine.
The original story is about a few dancers in a strip club in New York who lost their income after the financial crisis in 2008. They joined forces to go out fishing and soliciting customers, taking them to nightclubs or hotels to intoxicate customers with narcotics, swiping credit cards, and earning a lot of money. , was arrested.
The adapted film, faithful to the original story, injects more human vision, to explore the social environment behind the dancers, the friendship between the dancers, the struggle of human nature in the money society, degeneration, betrayal, and the indifference of social reality.
Using the form of comedy to express the connotation of tragedy makes people feel the ruthlessness of the world.
The visual language of the film is gorgeous and full of sensory stimulation, typical of Hollywood movies, like eating a rich meal. It is not ruled out that many people watch this movie because they want to see American striptease shows. There are indeed a lot of stripper performance scenes in the movie. They are full of sensuality, rapid hormones, and fast-paced changes, which make you too late for erotic fantasies. The reality of the money society.
The success of the film is inseparable from the performance of Jennifer Lopez's perfect carcass dancer and the delicate emotional expression of Constance Wu. The cooperation between the two is like a heavenly cooperation. When Jennifer the Leo wrapped Constance Wu of Aries in her bosom in her voluminous luxurious fur, like a mighty noble lioness and a poor lost lamb. Jennifer's aura is super powerful, filling every picture she is in, there is no doubt about it.
Commercial film directors know what kind of expressive actors can bring the box office to the corresponding theme. The female director's female perspective is inseparable from feelings, but there is no memory of feelings in women's films, which is reluctant to give up. Only the decisiveness of wiping away tears, like gorgeous fireworks blooming in the cold air of New York, beautiful, short-lived, ruthless.
In the movie, apart from the ruthless dance king, Jiang Jennifer, a 50-year-old woman, the effort behind the pole dancing makes people breathless can be imagined. There is also the popular hip-hop singer CARDI B. The interesting thing is that Cardi B herself also danced striptease in nightclubs. The starring Constance Wu became popular with "Crazy Rich Asians". A small Asian woman (Constance Wu is about 1.6 meters), when she gave birth, lost her income, and returned to the strip shop, she was surrounded by tall, model-like strippers, facing Asians. The woman's flattery and compliments are dismissed, pretending not to understand English, and speaking Russian proudly. Times have quietly changed.
The real social environment is like this. A large number of Russian women enter the United States and say that they are models. In fact, many of them are strippers in nightclubs. The security industry in the United States is also dominated by Eastern Europeans or Russians, just as the Chinese people working in Chinese restaurants in the United States are all Chinese.
The gang of strippers who extort customers is composed of Latins, Asians, whites, and blacks. In American society, they work together regardless of ethnicity. When they extort money, they share the blessings.
The stripper hero played by Jennifer and the poor Asian partner played by Constance Wu had a seemingly intimate friendship, but after the incident, they never contacted each other again. The hero refused to plead guilty.
The friendship between the two women runs through the main thread of the film. At the beginning, they did not come together because of mutual goodwill, but they could use each other and bring common interests to build a "friendship" together. If there is no use value, let alone common interests, why should we falsely face the betrayal of the past? Comparing friendship, affection and reality in modern society, what is reality prevails.
The heroine Barbash in the true story was born in the Latin Quarter of New York and began to striptease in nightclubs when she was a teenager. Her partner Keo is an immigrant from Cambodia. Child, Barbash opted to plead guilty to five years of probation after three years of arrest.
Keo appeared at the Toronto Film Festival in conjunction with the film promotion, and also took the opportunity to promote the publication of a book based on her life experience. She said that she would not go back to the past. She was bullied by men in a strip shop. She regarded fraud as a Fines and revenge for these men.
Barbash believed that the film did not get her consent, so she made her story and prepared to sue the production company. The money earned by the film could not be compared with the money that the producer gave her for the copyright, so she did not agree. Barbash doesn't think she and Keo are friends, just colleagues, and she's going to publish a book that tells the real story.
Behind the gorgeous movies is an unbearable real society. Behind the free world in the United States is the cruel division of social classes. Knowledge and experience may change the fate of the poor. For the rich, knowledge and experience are just decorations.
Money comes and goes quickly. The reason why men on Wall Street are extorted is because they have money. After the financial tsunami, strippers were not patronized. To encourage women? Only lessons.
Is there any encouragement to men? The carcass life of sensual dogs and horses is certainly desirable, but the troubles brought about by unpredictable future troubles are scary.
The spicy hot pot with all the colors and flavors may cause diarrhea, or there are people who line up to eat and don't want to drink porridge. This is life, and life is nothing but this.
