Strong women is now a real trend. Their history could be heard everywhere, independence in society is becoming more tangible, and the examples are inspiring (we will not specify how you themselves course). But sometimes these stories can be found the story of the principles which people do not refuse even in the face of justice.
Molly bloom, a former skier who has been raised by a strict father. He childhood taught her to that her weaknesses — it's her problem. At 6 hours per day it plowed the track, trying to hide the fatigue. It helped her, and she has achieved heights in the sport, but one tragic accident put an end to her career. Broken and upset she is moving from the parents, arranged in the local bar a waitress, raise visitors to bottles of "grey goose", and this attracts the attention of a certain Dean, who performed underground poker. After his personal Secretary and being fired due to the fact that she really painful a good job with their duties, she decides to open his "Vegas", of course with the "blackjack and the stars."
Once again Sorkin, for whom this film was the directorial debut, gives an ironic and sardonic narrative, where punchline is skillfully combined with the soul, which is hurts the main character. Suffering have grown-up girls turn from provocations father for dining table business-like approach to the case, which will bring bloom tons of money and popular girls high school.
The story "Princess of poker" is also developing rapidly, such as the dealer deals the cards sitting at table players. First extravaganza from that she step participation in the Olympics in salt lake city. Then light the apathy on the couch in a friends house that sheltered her. After business lessons from fixers-head, and at the end expensive room in the hotel where hang out, movie stars, entrepreneurs, rappers and a Chaldeans street, came to her to blow a million other. All this fits in the first hour, looks on one breath, and awakens the desire to call in homies to home to distribute to the deck.
But buried in the pleasure to all these "gambling" talk, Sorkin begins to get lost when the narrative goes into the jurisdiction of Idris Elba — a lawyer who decides to defend miss bloom, even though that the protection, especially not needed. Sensual motif painting too prosaic, and it is very difficult to penetrate. Too often the main character slips cynicism, disregard for their fate and reverent attitude to millions of dollars that she needs of its players. And to say that it features her character, from which can not to get rid of, but the scene where we kind of like allow you to see what have her the soul, served with the complete lack of emotion, because of what they seem to be superfluous. Walking through the lawyer's office and a neat touch books on a shelf, like must reflect the experiences of the heroine, but in fact it seems pathetic beginning of a video clip the pop singer.
However, to criticize Sorkin for these emotional flaws are not succeed because his back is Jessica Chastain, naturally burning Napalm hypnotizing your neckline, from which the way, the role of more than those of the Elbe. At a glance it reflects his strength, which is not know what to do. Even in the most emotional moments, her character holds the mark, and dares to look up at the room. This fully reflects the fact that bloom absolutely do not care about property, money and time, which she can solder. She is well aware that its principles, with whom she wakes up every day, the most important thing in the world. Not sell the names of those who just came and played, to the last to deny involvement in the "dirty money", and keep head and shoulders above all around. To be someone you want to be, not to create idols, and to be an idol for themselves. This idea, along with strong acting performances, it becomes almost the main advantage of the whole picture.
Yes, the closer to the finale, the clearly you can see the snotty end, but Sorkin manages to turn sentiments in sincerity, adding here justice. Justice, which always wanted Molly's against yourself. The dialogue in the Park, of course, trying to become lesbijkami for most adults, but to a certain point it too logical, and cleverly convinces the viewer that this is the case and nothing else. Here do not want to be grateful to melt what is happening. You just perceive, design, thinking.
There is in the film is the scene where Chastain goes on a skating rink. Only she touch ice immediately start to peel the flashbacks. She recalls his youth, training, and suddenly starts to pick up speed where all travel exclusively for circle very slow. At some point, notice the staff of the rink, you start to urge her to slow down, to miss bloom responds to them, and world in a whole: "Catch!". The chase begins, where girl a smile from ear to the ear escapes from the two scowling uncle. Perhaps it is here and hidden that the main reason why the heroine Chastain decided on this card adventure — the desire to run ahead, stand out, to prove to dad who she she do everything is correct and no harm for others (it lasted until "the chase", bloom not hurt knocked a one person). To constantly move forward for the sake of their loved ones, their beliefs. Now this is rare, and only one is the desire Molly bloom deserves respect, recognition and not marked deck of cards.
