some kind of classic

It's pretty nice, although from a realistic logic point of view, I don't think this kind of story ending is possible.

But in this daring and legendary story about a liar and a lot of flaws, the details are basically impeccable and accurate. This kind of accuracy is mixed with the vivid personality characteristics of various characters and the incomparable star actors. The personal charisma of the argument hits the face, and the effect is really pleasing to the eye.

Compared with the big liar Paul Newman, the Redford I liked in my childhood is simply inferior. Even with the moustache I hate, the elegance and delicacy of the former's facial features are enough to overshadow the traditional American sunshine and neatness of the latter, and the character itself has a strategy... …is charming, and a kind of charming that hardly has to be gendered.
