A Mass-Marketed Hair Care Product

Rating: 6/10 (17 March 2014)

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the film. I enjoyed the performance by this SERIOUSLY in demand and hot cast. These people are huge in Hollywood at the moment. I enjoyed the nostalgic music, I enjoyed the nostalgic clothes, the performances were riveting. I mean Christian Bale knocked me on my bum. What a performance. What a method actor. But besides its surface value, besides the music and costumes, what was there? It would be a serious, serious stretch for me to put much meaning to this movie. What, "Don't con the guy that cons you, um, conning isn't great, be careful of redheads, um don't wear hair pieces guys." "Watch out which nail polish you use, cuz um, be careful." The film is just like Christian Bale's hair piece; its for show. They're making a lot of money, and most people think that a movie cannot get much better than this. But any human being can realize the difference in emotion you feel after seeing a film like 12 Years a Slave and American Hustle. At the end of American Hustle, you're content, maybe you chuckled a bit, but nothing more. At the end of 12 Years a Slave, its like someone shot you in the chest, you're just thrown a back. What a feeling. What a comparison
