Most of the time in the film is the description of the tragic fighting on the table tennis court, especially the opening of the film, Eddie’s twenty-five hours of sleepless challenge to Tiff, the most shocking, a large number of superimposition techniques allow a clever account of the passage of time and the attitudes of the people. Occasionally hearing the referee's score in the silence brought out the tense atmosphere on the court. Many shots throughout the film will give a panoramic view of the interior, including onlookers, contestants, and agents, which is of great symbolic significance. The film won the 34th Oscar for Best Photography and Best Art Direction.
At the beginning of the film, these three gamblers were stunned by Eddie’s partner agent, and they were dumbfounded to bring the title; but when Eddie did it alone, the three people who were tricked again had exactly the same reactions as the first time. , And this time Eddie suffered the pain of breaking his fingers
Bleeding and sweating are indispensable in sports movies. Billiards is a relatively elegant indoor sport. The sweaty heartiness is replaced by a precise angle feeling. When it is involved in gambling, Eddie has also paid to be cut off two big pieces. The price of the thumb. From winning for the sake of winning to winning for the sake of self-recovery, the death of the beloved woman in exchange for Eddie's awakening, I don't like stories like this.
Sara said to Eddie, "I lied when I was drunk." Because of this sentence, I believe her real name is Sara, but Eddie may not understand. As Ygritte said at the end, "You know nothing, John Snow."
In the eyes of the agent Bado, Eddie has always been a loser: he is gifted but squandered, often gets drunk at the gambling table and loses a place that he could have won; If you have the technology, you can travel all over the world without fear, and ignore the situation of the agent; he obviously won the money but still loses the dignity of the other party, and he doesn't accept it when he sees good, making useless efforts in vain. In the eyes of Sara, who loves Eddie deeply, these are the indelible personalities of Eddie: He has a talent that is hard to detect by ordinary people and knows it well. His feeling of billiards gives him an artist-like pure perception. The heart of life, the arrogant and confident temperament exuding from his body attracts moths in the dark like a flame. There is no word dilemma in him, only the indomitable spirit.
But what Eddie is doing: He is a real gambler, betting unrestrainedly on his talent, luck, and even love. His paranoia about the concept of "win" is terrible. He only gives up when the other party admits that he has lost. What he wants is neither money nor fame, but the pleasure of defeating the dignity of the masters. What makes Sara chilling is that before winning, he prefers to beg the game to go on. Eddie became an agent's money-making machine, a symbol in the history of billiards, and a bubble in love. So Sarah chose to commit suicide after losing her life in Bardo. "Degenerate, mutilated, twisted" was her last last word to Eddie.
The encounter between Eddie and Sara was caused by the collision of two lonely hearts. The body that had drifted for too long suddenly found a safe island. Eddie gave Sara the feeling of love, and Sara gave Eddie the courage to find herself. It is because Sarah did not choose to leave calmly and sensibly and continue to numb herself in alcohol, that makes Tragic write a true stroke for love, but unfortunately they met at the wrong time. correct person.
Although the ending is Eddie's victory over Tiff and a duel between two snooker masters, it is actually the break between Eddie as an individual player and an agent. No matter how talented individuals can survive the entire gambling circle, the outcome has never been. They are just pawns for the broker to make money.
I especially like this scene, two people are in the same room but are separated on both sides, and one of them raises their heads inadvertently and brings a surprise
Like this group of shots, the heroine was afraid of falling and chose to refuse. The man next to her turned into a bottle between her arms. It is a question of whether to return to the old life of drunken life or to make an effort to take a step forward.
