The thing about this entire sequence is on the script page it's just a couple of sentences and a single line of dialogue. This is pure choreography.

A stripper walking through a deserted Manhattan strip club is such a visual of the financial crisis.pic.twitter.com/Mw71PpizwA

That whole speech JLo does about where the Wall Street guys got the money to pay for their blowjobs, stealing it from firemen's retirement funds. I've seen a few movies about the financial crisis, and this is so far the best.

I used ”breathtaking” so many times in this tweet i almost had an asthma attack. The whole way JLo’s entrance is shot I instantly knew this movie was directed by a woman. There is no way a male gaze would shoot it this way because of who gets the power.https://mobile.twitter.com/babiejenks/status/1218748938381152257 …

There are many other ways to shoot a scene. And this is a deliberate one.

Its interesting to think about why the cast of Hustlers, made up predominantly of women playing strippers, is so believably diverse. And how isnt it the same reason when its contrived also.

"In the early aughts...improbably, the values of third-wave feminism aligned w/ those of Howard Stern, ushering in an era in which taking off one’s clothes in front of an audience was no longer degrading but sexually liberating and financially empowering."https://www.thecut.com/2015/12/hustlers-the-real-story-behind-the-movie.html …

But arguably, Hustlers is now in a whole new post-financial crisis, post climate crisis, post inequality crisis cultural moment--power has transcended beyond "empowerment" into pure extraction.

Thought exactly this when I watched these shots of the sharks entering the pool "You only see those kinds of shots when it's guys. You only get to see them in the powerful shots, walking down a hallway, lookin dope, lookin cool." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3vbydrH0eI …pic.twitter.com/Q9PYvAFyg3

"It was fun to tell an *epic* story about women. We get a lot of smaller stories. People assume our lives are small stories. An epic story was what I was so interested in telling."http://youtube.com/watch?v=W3vbydrH0eI …

I am rewatching Hustlers like it's The Departed, and the shots of the women walking in slow-mo towards the camera are even sexier the second time around!

Ok, but it's actually even more interesting the second time? Like when JLo describes the tiers of Wall Street guy there are by the degree to which they're willing to get their hands dirty to make money, she's ultimately describing what their cartel will become.

Look, I sat through The Irishman, and I also watched Hustlers, twice, and this movie shoulda been nominated for an Oscar.

Like every scene in this movie is fucking iconic. Goodfellas, Casino level iconic. Scorsese could have directed it and it'd be up for an Oscar now. But of course he couldn't have.pic.twitter.com/qHSS4GhlPV

And the scene where Usher shows up and plays himself is just pure Alice in Wonderland dreamscape.

Hustlers is like Black Panther in that they never make a movie like that with people who look like that.

Fine. I am watching it again. Its such a well CRAFTED movie u can get away with it. Third time around u dive into how fucking dope the editing is. The score i knew was insane the first time around but its just SOOOOO good with the editing. Its like vignettes of music videos.

They have a whole montage to Chopin. And theres this other song they use in this other sequence, and the song is called Next, and it BLEW my mind

Look, there's nothing I can really say to make sense of what went down. This city, hell, this whole country, is a strip club. You got people tossin' the money. And people doin' the dance.pic.twitter.com/Q4c3Q543ds

Ive now watched Hustlers enough times it has supplanted The Departed on my list of all time favs and lets be real, between the criminality, the expository, confessional voiceover, and the brute force filmcraft it basically IS The Departed if it was directed by a woman.
