'American Hustle': Who the phishing law enforcement has caught

In the final scene of "Tender Killing", Brad Pitt ends the film with the last line: "This country is a business." The audience may not know what to watch, or even have no interest in the boring plot in the film. The messy splicing of the Middle East and the West in "Black Gold Murder" by a lawyer who sells drugs is even more puzzling. This film can be regarded as making up for all the unclear bugs, and tells a clear "business" story from beginning to end. Moreover, as soon as Christian Bale appeared on the stage, he carefully smoothed the few strands of his hair, indicating that this would be another good show of acting competition.

Not to mention the sloppy Belle that Robert De Niro didn't recognize on the set, the other actors have their own advantages and disadvantages. Amy Adams, who sells cute images in "Magic", has completely abandoned the serious look on her face. The most attractive thing is the wide open collar that has been changed into seven or eight sets. I worry about her and look forward to her running away. . Bradley Cooper, who continued to maintain the various embarrassing images in "The Hangover", was applauded by the dealer despite shaking his wits a few times. Jeremy Renner ditched the sportsman look and dressed up as a politician. Jennifer Lawrence, the post-90s actress, once again played a five-star shrew on the spot as a supporting role. Every time I saw her quarrel, I felt that this was her true nature. The strongest aura is Robert De Niro's aura in every minute of his appearance, as if making people return to "Once Upon a Time in America".

Although there are so many prominent celebrities and even Bell in the play with the image of self-destruction, audiences who do not understand the connotation of the story may be disappointed and even misunderstand the original intention of director David O. Russell to adapt real events. What are you talking about. First of all, judging from the title of the film, as the name suggests, it is a story of a liar. And, in all sorts of non-thrilling processes, uncovering the focal point of a scam across the U.S. with a little trick is the controversial phishing law enforcement that once worked in my direction. Although the plot in the film is arranged in the era when the induction cooker was just used, until now, this kind of fishing is still popular and has become an American tradition. Students who like to pay attention to current affairs in the United States will find that such news is not uncommon, and it is no longer a shocking secret.

Of course, the director also brought some personal goods, or anger at the corruption of the US political situation, first let Amy Adams scold Carter and President Nixon for waging war, and then add philosophical words, "We deceive ourselves turn a blind eye to things", "people believe what they want to believe" and other lines worthy of the audience's aftertaste. By getting involved in the government's deceptive actions, he said out loud that "tax evasion was invented by us, and we have been doing it for more than 30 years." The first layer of skin".

Under the intricate Hollywood-style love elements, it perfectly reproduces a fishing operation, and it cools down instantly at the climax, tripping over a kind little politician and arresting several congressmen. The righteous Bradley Cooper was not severely punished, Bell and Amy also retreated, and followed the dealer from the beginning to the end to make an elevator and return to the starting point, which can be regarded as a happy ending. It seems that there is no difference in everyone, but the money has been deceived by the real, and there is a feeling that the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole is behind. If Paul Newman's 1973 "Deception within Deception" really tells a story of a scam, then this film is using "scam" to reveal the dark side of the US political situation for the audience, and then arouses people's thinking, is it not every time The money defrauded by the taxpayer can be easily repaid.

The American media praised the film, with 86 nominations for 50 awards, and the Metacritic website even scored 90 with zero negative reviews. The New York Daily News praised it as "great," the New York Observer called it a brilliance about corruption, and more media said it was the best movie ever. Of course, it also received 10 nominations at the American Theme Awards Oscar, but one failed. I don't know if it's because the competitors are too strong, or because the political factors are too naked, or because Bell said at the premiere that he would not participate in any Oscar acting awards, he was avenged by the public, as the audience, we don't know.
