The story is about two billiard players. Eddie, played by Paul Newman, is a billiards veteran with many years of bargaining. Tom Cruise plays a young literary student with great courage and bravery, self-willedness and arrogance. Eddie discovered Vincent in the bar, and later after Eddie's training, Vincent became a smart gambler. Later in the huge billiards game in Atlantic City, after a bitter battle, Eddie finally defeated Vincent and won. However, he soon learned that this was just a small trick Vincent used to win money, and he was deeply insulted. In the semi-finals, Eddie gave up the game in the face of shining billiards. In the empty ball room, Eddie and Vincent had another match. With the phrase "I'm back", Eddie hit the ball loudly.

The theme of the film is to explain how the charm and temptation of money turns a young young man into a gambler who only pays for money without paying attention to conscience and morality, and how a veteran veteran gave up the temptation of money and talked about it. A conscience and honor.

With this film, Paul Newman won the 59th Oscar winner. Prior to this, he had been nominated 7 times, but all failed. It was not until this time that he finally got his wish and took the crown of the actor. His performance in the film indeed surpassed the still young Tom Cruise.

The film also won the long-awaited commercial success for director Scorsese. Taking this spring breeze, Scorsese also shot a series of popular MTVs for the new album of super singer Michael Jackson. For example: Bad (1987). Michael Jackson's MTV is super beautiful because of his beautiful dance steps. Oh yeah. I liked it very much at the beginning.

Friends who like billiards can take a look. The billiards game inside is detailed and very exciting. The crisp impact of billiards also produced a wonderful effect, which is unforgettable.
