This is a more emotional film. The director continued the model of the last film "The Line of Happiness Behind the Dark Clouds", which told us that modern people are mentally ill under the cover of normal appearance, while this one Trying to tell us that everyone is a liar. In the journey of life, people use a certain bag to hide their real life status. In this life journey of cheating, some people are willing to be deceived, and some people There is nothing to be deceived, and some prodigal sons who are deceived turn back. Because of the success of "The Line of Happiness behind the Dark Clouds" for such an allegorical film in the hearts of the Oscar judges, it is reasonable that this film won nothing. Last year's escape from Tehran and this year's Twelve Years a Slave's successful ascent were in large part due to political implications. However, in this film, the screen design with a sense of age, the soundtrack that complements each other, Cooper's chattering line design, Bell's explosion of acting skills after getting fat, Amy's glamorous and moving appearance, Lawrence's sometimes goddess and sometimes shrew's performance make this film It has become the pinnacle of urban film, and this is the real realism.

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.
