If our wisdom can always overcome the impermanence of fate

The plot design of the film is relatively simple and cannot stand up to too much scrutiny. The protagonist's wisdom dominates all clues, and all problems are solved when the protagonist wants to solve them. In fact, it is difficult to evaluate what kind of mood the film conveys. Deception and sincerity are very contradictory in every character. The seemingly sincere person is too persistent in the pursuit of success and a different life, while the seemingly hypocritical person protects the uninformed at the last moment. There is no absolute right or wrong, just see who is the smartest and has the last laugh.

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.
