Even when you
think about the title of the movie and evaluate it, “American Hustle” it
explains how you need to “hustle” to survive and make ends meet and make some
dough. As Fandgano.com summaries the movie, “Christian
Bale, Bradley
Cooper, and Amy Adams
star in director David O.
Russell's fictional period crime drama about a reckless FBI agent
who recruits a con man and his alluring partner into a scheme to ensnare
corrupt politicians and gangsters. Smooth-talking Irving Rosenfeld (Bale)
is a hustler of the highest order.”
With 7 Golden Globe nominations; it more than lives up to every expectation
that was set.
A
Trailer for the movie is below:
I was amazed by how well the
classical and jazz music flowed with the story and intensified the movie. So, we can safely say that music supervisor
Susan Jacobs has created one of the year’s best soundtracks. When Jacobs was
interviewed by Huffington Post, she commented on a specific scene where she
placed Steely Dan’s “Dirty Work.”
“Jacobs: I was on set and
David was shooting that scene. He was sitting there with his iPod, which he has
all the time. He listens to a lot of music. We started listening to "Dirty
Work" right on location. He played it out of his Jambox speaker right as
they were walking. We always thought that would be an original song place, and
we really tried for that with some great ideas. Steely Dan even considered that
they would try to write something original, but we couldn't beat it. When it
works, it works. It was one of those things that was married in the movie
really early on,” (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/16/american-hustle-soundtrack_n_4442273.html,
