"The Hustler" A work of tenacity released by a master craftsman who was blacklisted in Hollywood's Red Scare.

The breakthrough work of the rare actor Paul Newman

Speaking of Paul Newman (1925-2008), people of my generation have a strong impression that he was the voice actor in `` Cars '' (2006), but needless to say, ` `Shoot for Tomorrow!' ' '' (69) and `` The Sting '' (73), he is a legendary actor who is indispensable in the history of movies. By the way, he was born five years earlier than Clint Eastwood.

As an actor who has trained at the Actors Studio in New York, where he has been compared to Marlon Brando and James Dean, his every move drawn from instinct stands out in "The Hustler." I guess you could say that there's something thrilling about his casual gestures and expressions.

Thinking back, his 83 years of life were a series of adventures. Newman broke out of his shell and continued to pursue new things. In the first place, he began his career in acting in earnest after getting involved in a fight with his university football team and being expelled from the team.

Afterwards, he became known as a so-called ``outspoken actor,'' as he complained to the upper management because he did not like the policies of the film company he was contracted with. It seems that there were many controversial scenes, such as when he confronted the director with suggestions for the role. All of this is due to the passion of ``I want to make a good movie!'' He is also known for completely immersing himself in his roles, and it is well known that he became so good at his roles that he became a professional car racer in his mid-40s. When you look at his life from a bird's-eye view, you can't help but feel the same ever-changing spirit that Eddie has in this movie.

It is certain that this role was very close to his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to appear in the same role again in `` The Color of Money '' after 25 years. Newman won the coveted Academy Award for Best Actor for this role in the sequel.
