jessica chastain'in koyu saçlarıyla ve şahane stylingiyle dünyanın en güzel kadınlarından biri olduğunu bir kez daha gösteren film. chastain molly bloom'u kardashianlara benzettiği için onlardan ilham almış, onları özellikle incelemiş. aaron sorkin'in ilk yönetmenlik denemesi bence çok iyi olmuş. zaten filmi çekerken david fincher'dan tavsiyeler almış.

bu tip hızlı yükselen insanların hikayelerini izlemeyi çok sevdiğim için -jessica chastain'in de etkisiyle- filme bayıldım. uzun zamandır jessica chastain ile idris elba'yı karşılıklı izlemek istiyordum hatta true detective dedikodusunu duyunca kendimi kaybetmiştim skdjhjskdjfd. hikayede molly'nin en büyük başarısı a-list aktörleri, işadamlarını, sporcuları vs kumar masasında idare edebilmesi. ve düzenli oynayanların kerizleyebileceği poker bağımlılarını çevresindeki ünlü isimlerin de etkisiyle çekerek oyunun devamlılığını sağlaması. ama oyun giderek büyüyünce, riskler artınca sistem teklemeye başlıyor. molly boyundan büyük bir banka işine girdiği için düzen patlıyor.

filmi bitirdikten sonra açılış monoloğunu bir kez daha izlemek aşırı keyifli.

''a survey was taken a few years ago that asked 300 professionals one question: ''what's the worst thing that can happen in sports?'' some people answered losing a game 7. and other people said
getting swept in four. some people said it was missing the world cup. and some brazilians said
it was losing to argentina. not just in the world cup anytime, ever, in any contest. but one person answered that the worst thing that can happen in sports was fourth place at the olympics. this is a true story, but except for my own, i've changed all the names and i've done my best to obscure identities for reasons that'll become clear. i'm molly bloom and right now, i'm ranked third in north america in women's moguls. i grew up in loveland, colorado about two hours north of denver. i have a ba in political science from the university of colorado where i graduated summa cum laude with a 3.9 gpa. the median l-sat score at harvard law school is 169. my score: 173. i've spent 16 years chasing winter and being coached by the best in the world. sundays were for working out with my father. when i was 12 years old, for no particular reason, my back exploded. i was on skis again in a year, running moguls in 18 months and by my 20th birthday, i'd made the u.s. ski team. it's the last round of qualifying for the salt lake city olympics. this is the champion run at deer valley. the altitude's 8,100 feet and the pitch is 52 degrees which is the same as the sides of the great pyramids. the wind's 20-25 miles an hour blowing left to right. it's three-below zero at the top of the slope and with 17 skiers in front of me, it's gonna be like trying to stick a landing on a frozen infinity pool. i can make the olympic team right now. and if i had three perfect runs in salt lake... the best runs of my life... i can beat the austrians and the swiss nd have a realistic shot at the podium. then law school and then a start-up. a foundation that seeds entrepreneurial women. i hit a pine bough and i hit it so precisely that it simply snapped the release of my bindings. none of this has anything to do with poker. i'm only mentioning it because i wanted to say to whoever answered that the worst thing that could happen in sports was fourth place at the olympics... seriously, fuck you.''

bana böyle senaryolarla böyle açılışlarla gelin. ilk sahnesi bu monolog sayesinde aşırı iyiydi.
