The seventies look is a nightmare

Ever since I have seen American clothing in the 1960s and 1970s, I have had doubts about fashion. What is this? In addition to clothing and decoration, warm-colored walls and decoration, what has this world experienced!
This is by no means a movie about cheating. The director has an idea. He wants to use such a story to examine the 1970s. "Cheating" is just a means. However, the controllability of "cheat" is destined to be suitable for most environments, and it is understandable to be used here. "Cheat" can be small or big, as high as the "Ponzi scheme" before the financial crisis, as small as street vendors; "Cheat" is an art, which is best used to create comedy conflicts when dealing with people.
The "scam" here has grown from small to large, involving low-level borrowers, FBI agents, mayors, mafia, and even members of Congress and the Senate. The way is mixed with the concept of marriage at that time, the attitude towards the government and the concept of love. There are so many things, but the director really did it, except for the damn art, and the deliberately exaggerated performance.
The government doesn't care about people's lives. FBI only cares about crimes. The mayor has the will to contribute to the people without financial support. He took the risk and chose the road of illegal investment promotion. There is a very important issue here, and it is also applicable to our country. As we all know, in the 1980s and 1990s and even the beginning of this century, the governments of various parts of our country did relax the censorship of foreign capital in order to attract investment, increase gdp, and increase the employment rate. Fuel the flames. There are countless such plots in the media reports, so this is a sin. Who is to blame? Old America's mayor was caught, and lawmakers were sued. But the film uses the male protagonist's mouth to say that it only hits officials who want to do things for the people. It seems to coincide with the idea that some corrupt officials in our country can do practical things.
The emotions of the film are very tangled. At that time, the 1970s, according to my poor knowledge, seemed to be the period of female liberation. The personalities of wives and lovers are also so different. The wife is a dead house and doesn't want to socialize. She feels a little bit waiting for someone to raise her; her lover struggles so hard, she said she wants to be someone else. This environment is so unique.
Sir, I really don't want to mention you anymore, my heart was broken when I saw you in the first scene, that figure, that bald head, and that crappy hairstyle. Would you please come back handsome? I must see the movie.
Ps: Was the vacuum eight-character milk a symbol of women in that era?

American Hustle quotes

  • Irving Rosenfeld: I'm like the fucking Vietcong, man, all right? I'm in and I'm out. I was there the whole time. You don't know it, all right? That's the fuckin' art of becoming somebody who people can pin their beliefs and their dreams on.

  • [last lines]

    Irving Rosenfeld: We took down some very big guys. Some of whom, they were just doing business as usual, helping their communities or their states, but some of them knew they had larceny in their blood, and they even admitted it. But in all, it was six congressmen, one United States senator, and my friend Carmine Polito. We gave the two million back, so that Carmine got a reduced sentence, 18 months. The loss of his friendship would haunt me the rest of my life. When the story was written, Richie DiMaso's name was never mentioned. Syd and I, we moved in together. Rosalyn? She would always be interesting. Our conning days were behind us. You can fool yourself for just so long, that your next reinvention you better have your damn feet on the ground. We got a loan from a bank and were able to go gallery-legitimate. The art of survival, is a story that never ends.
