- Fast Eddie Felson teaches a cocky but immensely talented protégé the ropes of pool hustling. Starring Paul Newman, Tom Cruise and directed by Martin Scorsese.
*Spoiler Warning*
This the ending of the film
Music: The Main Title by Robbie Robertson, Gil Evans - เพลง
One of the most uplifting movie endings I've ever seen. That last line, his determination, that smile-- just wonderful. 💪
“Hey, I’m back!” I always loved that ending.
Paul Newman was 60 when they filmed ''Color of Money''. Tom Cruise turned 60 this year.
Tom still has his dark hair, but who knows if he colors it or not.
Time for a movie where Vincent plays Eddie’s persona.
@@joemckim1183some people go greyer quicker than others, he actually had grey starting to come in on his sides now so who knows.
Wow amazing @ 60
Newman's generation aged physically faster.
Cruise is now the same age Paul Newman was when this was filmed. Shows how fast time flies.
Sure as hell doesnt look like it. Cruise is a one of a kind actor and doesnt age.
@@coryboy345 Newman looked better for his age in 86 than Cruise does now, probably cuz Newman aged naturally, Cruise obviously hasn't.
@@pycellesbeard9728 Yeah, no.....
@@coryboy345 Must be some other reason He morphed into Tig Notero.🤣
I saw The Color of Money first, and I thought it was about Vinnie and Eddie both. Then I saw The Hustler, and I realized both films are about Eddie, and life.
Tom Cruise needs to make a sequel now
Excellent idea
Yes, it's time. Plot should be Vincent a top ranked player in the world. Hustling his way to build up his bank roll. Wins a giant tournament. Closing scene they are interviewing him and they ask him "how does it feel to be the best 9 ball player in the country?" He replies, "well I always knew only one guy today could be the best, but I have to admit, there's been only one person throughout my carer that I couldn't beat." Then it goes to the end credits with the whistle close out song.
One of the coolest scenes in any movie
Everything about the movie is flawless but it's the dialogue, especially in this scene, that is so perfect. It's real but stylized and captures the essence of the piece and every individual character within it.
Masterclass in acting put on by Newman and Cruise was up to the challenge and was right there with him.
“Hey… I’m back!” 🎱 🤘
Like. A. Fucking. B A W S S S.
Yeah!! Fast Eddie is back baby!!!!!
A line I’ll never forget.
Terrific film. Tom Cruise was perfect for the part & played it very well. As for Paul Newman, if he could ever be better than he was in “The Hustler”, this was it. Superb!
One of the best film's ever made in my opinion. One day I'm having a date with a good bottle of whiskey, snacks, soda water, pizza and the Hustler followed by the Colour of money. Either alone or with a woman. God I would love Cruise to do a sequel where he has evolved into a Fast Eddyesque type character.
you know its fast eddy from THE HUSTLER movie right?
This is just one of those movies you leave alone. no sequels leave it alone.
@@pantarei8382 You betcha.
@@buddywilliams5650 Everything depends. Sequel not a remake. If it was directed by Scorsese and writen by Price it could be good. Turturro and Whittaker could be in it too. Has to be some homage to Fast Eddie. Sequels are a risk I understand you.
Wow, I never even thought about that. I suppose I believe the movies are so perfect on their own, but what a tribute to the series and Newman if it were to happen and be done tastefully.
What a movie....The reason I started playing pool some 30 years ago and the reason I still do even now when I can't see the fuckin' balls anymore..
“I see 3 of them out there!”
“Hit the one in the middle!”
I go back just a little further than that. Same here...the balls are out of focus, but I just play by FEEL. If you've never watched "The Hustler" it is the beginning of the story and a must see for any pool fan. Jackie Gleason and Paul Newman are epic. Great supporting cast with George C. Scott, Piper Laurie and a cameo by one of the greatest: Willie Mosconi.
perfect role for cruise as he played himself and newman well a class act
It doesn't really matter whether Eddie Felson wins or loses since he has already won by giving up the money Vincent gives him. Spiritually and morally, Eddie Felson has rearmed, he's back to being the whole boy who learns his lesson at the end of The Hustler. Whether he wins or loses the games with Vincent, Eddie will be unwavering and confident, and that will be his victory. those kinds of lessons are vital, they are not learned in the game and they certainly have nothing to do with "winning or losing".
Bravo for this perspective. This is what Siskel and Ebert didn't get. IMO this is one of the greatest endings or scenes in a film of all-time. Eddie already won no mattered what happened in the game.
Exactly! 🔥
@@wlouisharris Siskel and Ebert were a couple of windbags. I've never seen 2 guys be wrong about so many movies.
@Daniel Luna Wow, you really didn't get it.
Actually your wrong he wants to win
Paul Newman is so dang good in this movie.
What makes you so sure...the look....brilliant!!
Paul Newman cool AF
Sure reminds me of someone I once new. This chick in Houston was working the tables, she was unbelievable. Tamara.. what a unbelievable player she was. I watch her just tear them up on the greens. May the Queen always play.
God I miss the 80's-
What A Great Film!
RIP Paul Newman 👏🙏🏾!
This was such a great movie, after seeing it in the theatre it made me get back into pool again.... Still love watching it every now and again.
One of the greatest endings to a movie ever ! Perfection...Newman elevates Cruise, amazing acting and writing.
Love the sound of film. The dialogue sounds so good
The ending always sends chills down my spine…wow!
He deserved that Oscar
He deserved it back in the early 60s. When he finally received he didnt care much for it because "...it was like a fickle lady that you chased for so long..."
It wasnt until watching the Hustler that I realized this movie isnt about Vincent (Tom Cruise)....
Its about Fast Eddie Felson.
This movie is a beast... Paul Newman saying hey I'm back beast
Great movie--no question. But "The Hustler" is a work of art--a masterpiece!! (And it has Jackie Gleason--he's only on screen for about 20 minutes but his portrayal of "Minnesota Fats" exudes a style that nobody in the sequel can come close to.)
Gleason owned the screen while he was on it. Everyone thought of him as a funny man, a great funny man but only a funny man. He knocked it entirely out of the park with his performance. Just as Felson in the film couldn't take his eyes off him and marveled at him early in their encounter so too was the audience glued to him. When in their first encounter after playing all night and into the day he gets all cleaned up, puts his suit jacket back on, straightens his tie then turns to Eddie and says "Let's play some pool" it was simply stunning in the elegance of its delivery.
You shoot a great game of pool Fat Man
You don't leave me much Fats....That's what the game's all about Fast Eddie.
@@jacobscott9732So do you Fast Eddie.
The ending of the Hustler is one of the greatest of all time. The eventual triumph over Minnesota Fats and being able to finally stick it to Bert, but at the cost of pretty much his humanity. The most beautiful character arc in movie history IMO.
Like a ballerina
My father and I bought a pool 🎱 table right after we saw this movie and I've loved the game and this movie ever since!
Perfect ending to a crazy fabulous film!
A sequel we deserve but will never see. Paul Newman is the best. My wife’s aunt stood up in his wedding to Nell. They were great friends. I met my wife after he died. But this is great.
Scorsese did not want to do this film. The Last Temptation of Christ was tops on his want to do list. He was having trouble with studio backing because of the heat they knew they were going to get from Last Temptation because of it's content. They promised Scorsese the backing for it if he would do this. They liked the story for Color, it was relatively low budget and short film schedule, and they figured a Scorsese-Newman-Cruise trifecta could not miss. They figured right.
It wasn't The Color of Money that was bargained.
It was Cape Fear.
Interesting. I remember it was kind of a disappointment critically and maybe financially. But still this film has aged incredibly well. This movie had style and great acting.
@@Eclipse2582 Correction: The CAPE FEAR bargain was actually because of SCHINDLER'S LIST. Scorsese was to originally direct that (and he was the one who hired Steven Zaillian to write the script), but the controversy he got into over THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST paired with him feeling that he may not be able to do justice was what led him to back out of that. In exchange, Scorsese directed CAPE FEAR (which Spielberg executive produced).
one of my favorit movies... seen it maybe 50 times.. i even play just like cruise does in the howling wolf scene(only i have music on my ears to shut ut the room(ipad or phone)
Really? Why...
Many layers behind this movie. Newman just knowing he's back in form was enough for himself - and listening to the sound of his own break (like when he first heard Cruise's break) - to close out the movie.
Paul Newman was incredible
1 of the best endings ever in movies
Paul, legend !!!!!
“Fast and loose” ~ The Hustler
This is one of Tom's better movies I remember seeing this in the theaters and when pool comes back he needs to make a sequel to this😎
Going through my own version of “I’m back” now. Paul Newman nails it. Being an expert at something you’ve spent your whole life perfecting and getting a chance at the end is the BEST🤘😎🇺🇸🇺🇸(Gen Xer)
Cruise's hair is way over the top in this movie
Yeah but it was perfect.
It was a wig
It was the 80s. Everyone's hair was over the top.
I love this movie so much. It was one of Paul Newman's best. He was trying to teach the snot nosed kid who saved Hollywood a thing or two. Classic.
How did he ,' save Hollywood '?
Haha definitely!
Underrated classic
Paul F..... Newman! My favorite actor of all time😎
The Hustler, Color of money. 2 loistavaa elokuvaa, tämä saaga tarvitsee kolmannen osan. Trilogy.
The Final shot its amazing. Classic Marty
Goosebumps
Where are the good actors, the good movies these days. Man, this was such a great story and a great film !
Tom Cruise is the same age, 61, as Paul Newman was when this movie was released... It's time for part 3!
It’s a tale of losing what you thought you would never lose and realising too late that’s it gone all the while trying desperately and naively to hold onto it
If you can't cut the mustard you can still lick the jar - Carmen at the diner
Great movie good sound track
Scorsese is a dancer.
This really is a great movie. When it first came out every pool hall had to put up signs warning players not to do the The Color of Money shot. Didn't stop me tho!
In case anyone is wondering later on in this game Fast Eddie looks at Vincent after he's been beating him and says, "Is it over yet Vincent?" "Because I've been beating you all night, and I'm going to beat your all day." "I'm the best there is Vincent, the best you've ever seen." "Now, even if you beat me, I'm still the best!"
How did you find this?
@@vincentlozupone8890 have you seen the hustler? I guess not.
No doubt, Andy. Then Vincent almost craps himself when Eddie orders a J.T.S Brown 🙂
From the book?
@@tuludin the book Eddie beats a guy named Earl Borchard (probably referencing Earl Strickland) at the Lake Tahoe Nine Ball Tournament. At the end his new gf runs the art exhibit business while Eddie goes on the 9 ball tour. Great read much better than the first book The Hustler.
well well well way beyond brilliant ... humble opinion - Paul's & Tom's best movie, perhaps Martin's as well ... Hell it was much too real & too good !!!
Amazing
Great movie
Pool hall movies are a rare treat. Has anyone here seen Pool Hall Junkies with Cristopher Walken ?
Newman looks like Dan Ackroyd playing the sleazy businessman on SNL.
the reason i picked up a cue. and more then 35 years later i still do almost every day. for me the best hobby i can think of. if you loose it just hurts you pride (or a few bucks) and i will play as long i can hold a stick
LOVED this ending!!!
They should make another sequel to this movie with Vincent (Tom Cruise) in the role of the Partner-Manager of a young talented pool hustler similar to what Eddie Felson was to Vincent.
Only if Scorsese directs. If not, shouldn’t be touched.
totalmente de acuerdo, para que Cruise deje de hacer sus peliculas fantasiosas y para que Scorsese vuelva con todo a los estudios
カッコいい復活
It’s in the way that you use it it comes and it goes
We considered it a disappointing ending in 1986. But it was the right choice.
It really is the perfect timeless ending
Bravo!
i like to know what brand of cue eddie was shooting with at the end,i heard a signature sound when he hits the cueball
He was playing with a custom Joss cue. So were Julian and Vincent. Joss was contracted to make a "Balabushka" for the movie, and it became so popular that they made it a regular model cue you could order from them. Mike Sigel was the technical advisor on this film, and also coached Cruise to look the part when he played, and Sigel had a connection with Dan Jane, cue maker and owner of Joss Cues (in Maryland).
One of Dan's protégé left the company to found Joss West Cues, not to be confused with the original Joss Cues in Maryland. Dan Jane just passed away a couple of months ago or so, so now his cues are worth even more than they were prior to his passing.
Great movie 🎥
I like feel good movies
Never -- not once -- have I ever heard/read anyone say/write:
"You [the audience] got hustled. And it was so expertly done, you still don't realize it."
Not even almost 40 years later.
The end was anticlimactic because IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY.
The actual climax happened when Vincent realized his greatness as a hustler. So great, in fact, not even Fast Eddie Felson got a read on it.
Tom Cruise with that hair looks like a guard at Buckingham Palace.
Would have been funny if he totally missed the ball and threw his back out. 😂
LMFAO
“Hey……my back!!!” Credits roll lmao
🙄
@@galvatron1972 LOL
Farts at start of through stroke and digs tip into cloth ripping three foot tear.
whats interesting id the hey i'm
back line sounds more like the confident young Eddie from the Hustler not the beaten Eddie from the Color Of Money
when he says it you really believe he is back
1986 was almost 40 yrs ago
Reevaluating this movie now and everyone's attention at the time was on Mastrantonio and Newman, but Tom Cruise was very much holding his own with them. The attacks on his acting back then were just completely unfair.
They dont make movies like this anymore :) 👍😎👍
The plot hole I see is that Vincent did not owe any % of the winnings from the game he dumped. Eddie ended all split deals at their last meeting. Maybe Vincent also knew this and was showing his ass to Eddie by giving him money he didn't owe him and gloating about losing so convincingly, but it really came across that he thought he owed it...and that kind of subtlety isn't Vincent's style. I think Vincent grew up and he didn't like the hustle as much as liked the straight game. and now Eddie only likes the straight game... so they switched roles. Eddie is using the exact line "lets just play to play. I want your best game." on Vincent that Vincent used on Julian when he first sees him at the point all Eddie knows is the hustle and all Vincent knows is the straight game. deep shit going on here.
Vincent dumped because he wanted to get back at Eddie for using him. Vincent was unexperienced as a road player and just wanted to play his best game every time he stepped to the table. Eddie tried to teach him that sometimes when you lose, you win. Vincent didn't really wanna be a hustler. He wanted to be the best player and was cocky because he knew he was. Eddie looked at it as a business investment which set Vincent off once he realized what their whole "partnership" meant.
Great hair
The room they were in was empty. What if the buildings caretaker said 'this room is closed after 5 minutes?'.
Would they get it on again or just wait for the next competition?
Fast Eddie in his prime mops Vince up.
You can Lose Still Walk Tall Because Give it your Best Game of Your Life
It’s in the way that you use it.
Tom as Eddie type character , Miles Teller as Vincent type character
They should have revealed that Eddie was hustling Vincent since they started. The last game should have had Eddie run 7 racks straight while explaining the long con he pulled on Vincent
Not sure who would win. Eddie was playing well. Winning matches in tournaments. He seemed confident & wanted to play Vincent. Had experience on his side.
Vincent seemed confident. Maybe over confident. He ducked playing Eddie properly in the tournament. Choosing to go for easy money.
Result - a close match & buddies again afterwards. Although not working together again.
He dumped on purpose. To rub the "Hustle" in Eddie's face.
Hard to believe that’s Tony Montana’s sister.
Brill
win 🏆 😎 money 💵
Newman at 60 something looked better than Cruise at 20 something. I mean, no shame there. He was too cool.
Hey, I'm Back!..
I was there that night and Vince took Eddie for the envelope and beat him the next set for his Cadillac but he drove them to the train station afterwards where eddies girl left with Vincent
Something about the sound of balls
lol this comment right here
I still don't understand this movie. Can someone explain it to me?
How did Eddie use Vince? What was the con? Did Eddie lose to Forrest Whitaker on purpose?
It wasn't a con. But, Eddie had been put out of big time pool 25 years prior. (The Hustler)
Vincent woke up the old beast in Eddie. He used Vincent to get back in the game.
When Eddie loses to Amos (Forest W.) it's the wake up call to Eddie that he's not as sharp as he used to be. But, he realized that he needed to go back to the practice room if he wanted to compete at the highest level.
Suspect it would be a long game. Best of 50?
Eddie had got himself back into good physical shape & was playing well. He wanted to win or lose to a Vincent playing at 100%.
Who do you think won?
Vincent
Eddie. He got his character and his game back.
@@JohnS-il1dr true and honestly I don’t really know lol. Cause Vincent missed KEY shots against Eddie on the game he dumped. Shots to win which would have gave Vincent the game. And when Vincent asked Eddie in the “green room”. “Eddie, what are you gonna do when I kick your ass”. Eddie responds “pick myself up and let you kick me again”. Why was he basically accepting that he could lose but he would eventually beat him in other competitions yk? I don’t know lol i never truly know and I think that’s beauty of this film. The screenplay leaves it up to the audience’s interpretation. You could say vincent cause he’s young and it’s a “young man’s game”. & “The Hustler” isn’t what he used to be but he has the best thing. A kid who is.
Or you could say Eddie won. Because he’s “Fast FKN EDDIE”!
I don’t know and nobody will unfortunately. But anyways what a picture!
The first band l ever saw was this band and another couple Ike and Tina Turner
Beat a guy back in the 90s who wore the Eddie glasses. I hustled him for 3 days straight! I beat him getting the 7 two races to 10, beat him 3 sets getting the 8 in the same races. Next day played him in a race to 25 dead even with a doubled bet. Then gave him the 8 on the third day for 5k all of which I had won in a 10 a head set! Guy couldn’t believe he was being hustled because he thought he was the man! Sad thing is I could have gave him the 7 if he hadn’t went busto!! Damn I miss the days of hustling pool before the internet and camera phones ruin the art form. Now you can go 3000 miles away and some guy will take a picture and post it on social media and 2 minutes later ask for weight in a $20 set!!
'You couldn't deal with my game'. Be a bit embarressing if he lost.
Sequel please Tom with Efran Reyes or SVB consulting
Let's clean it up.
