This feeling can be regarded as a remembrance, but it was already at a loss.

Reading a good book and watching a good movie are very meaningful things in life for me. Whenever I watch an applauding movie, I am determined to write this post-view, so that I can live up to the fate of my encounter with this masterpiece in the journey of time. In this era of increasing pursuit of fast food culture, I am writing less and less long articles. The aftermath of the last long post was "Into Africa". I admired a strong and self-reliant woman; this time, I was bewitched by a charming man who was suave and suave and wrote again-this is the movie "The Prodigal Son" (The Hustler), the actor is Paul Newman (Paul Newman). When I was downloading a movie on PPS with my mobile phone, I caught a glimpse of a vague picture of a handsome guy with the good name "Jianghu Prodigal Son". It felt like a very old movie, so I downloaded it when I thought about it. I don't want to look at it and I feel powerless. I checked it on the Internet and found that this is a masterpiece that everyone praises. People like me who are obsessed with classic Hollywood movies turned out to be so ignorant, never heard of Paul Newman's name, nor did they know the reputation of "The Prodigal Son". I only think that classic Hollywood guys are like wild men like Marlon Brando, or handsome gentlemen like Parker, but there is also Paul. Newman is a prodigal son who combines rage and extravagance. This is a black-and-white film (shot in 1960?) It is impossible to see the color of the male protagonist Eddie's eyes, but it is so shallow and focused, like a clear spring of blue lake, which makes people inevitably indulged. Let's talk about the storyline, otherwise people who haven't seen it will feel like I'm talking about it. In one sentence, it is clear that this is a story of a prodigal son who has his billiard skills and relies on gambling and cheating money for a living. I hate people who are addicted to gambling the most in my life. From this, I realized the gamblers' outlook on life and values. In a sense, life is a gambling; at the same time, I also feel that men are children, especially gamblers. The hero, Eddie, only gained some growth through the death of the heroine, but the price was too high. A man doesn’t understand love. When he lost, he knew that he loved her like this, but he never said “I love you” before she was alive, even though the heroine Sarah treated him this way many times. Said, and he just asked: Do you need some words? He didn't even think of himself as the heroine's destiny. He also imagined that she would settle down in the future, marry a university professor, and write a novel about him... He began to use all kinds of billiard tricks as a living protagonist. Must be chic and moisturized. I know that I have been fighting uninterruptedly for two days and two nights with a fat man with superb skills. ) Because he was not as calm as the opponent, he was defeated and forced to wander to a city. The hero and heroine Eddie and Sarah met, and they got together soon. Although they talked a lot about each other, they didn't show any malice at all and couldn't hide the simplicity of admiration and attraction to each other. I repeatedly recalled the heroine Sarah’s joy when Eddie first moved into her hut. She returned from buying food at the opposite market. She was rather lame without losing her grace and happiness from the bottom of her heart. Every passerby is friendly and smiling, and life is like the sun flooding the streets and every corner of the soul. When she got home, she gave Eddie a small gift and said to him: I have lived here for three years, but you have only been here for three days. I think I know all the people here, and I told them that I have a man. Friends... Love is never all about men. Eddie is the overflowing self only when he talks about his billiard stunts. Porter wanted to be Eddie's agent and use him to make money. Eddie, who had started to be uncooperative, interrupted his finger. He said he was born a loser. Eddie was frustrated in his heart. He told Sarah about his stunts. She was as straightforward and confident as a child. Sarah, who was full of love, understood his feelings and firmly believed that he was a winner. Funded by the greedy agent Porter, Eddie took Sara to participate in large-scale table tennis gambling activities. He was eager to prove himself, but Porter caught him tighter. Sarah urged Eddie to get him out of it. . Sarah because of alcohol power? Disheartened? After entangled with Potter, he committed suicide in the bathroom. Eddie, who had just returned from a bet to walk, was stunned by the facts before him, and was torn up with Potter... After this painful fact, Eddie seemed to grow up quickly, "It is not enough to have talent, but also to have personality. "Sarah's death allowed him to regain his own personality. He skillfully played his skills and defeated the imaginary enemy "Fatty" and won a large amount of cash. Porter demanded division and threatened him to continue to cooperate. Eddie said Porter was born a loser because he had no one in his heart, only money. But I am different, I love Sarah. It was the two of them that caused Sarah's death irreparably, and it was impossible to cooperate anymore. A word awakened Potter's numbness of the humanity at the bottom of his heart, and he was left by Eddie...
