The George Roy Hill Film (Movie), The StingThe Sting is a classic story of revenge for the death of a good friend. Instead of revenge being an eye for an eye, Hill has the main characters seek revenge by fleecing the man responsible for the death out of his money. From the first ten minutes, you are immersed in the film. Hill breaks the conformity of other films by making the main characters crooks. It's very different from other films because these men should not be considered good guys but quite the opposite. George Roy Hill's film, The Sting uses many forms of irony in the context of 1920s Chicago to show the theme of avenging the death of a friend. Johnny Hooker played by Robert Redford is the main character of the film. The irony of the film is that he is the "good guy", but also a gambling addict and a street hustler. Hill also uses other forms of irony, Henry Gandorf gambled, Paul Newman owns a gambling house that has a giant carousel in the middle. The film starts quickly and gets faster as it goes on. The film is constructed like a book and its opening credits are displayed on each page. The film is also divided into chapters, each with its own title. When the chapter title appears, it looks like a piece of paper and is rotated to move to the next scene. The film is very intelligent, the shot of the sting is very delicate and surprising for the viewer. Hill shows us most of the plan but leaves out small parts for a final surprise. Johnny and Henry are very witty and intelligent, they endear us from the beginning and they continue until the end. The two crooks meet over the death of a mutual friend. Before he died, Johnny's friend told him about a great man who could teach him how to work the big scam. The big man refers to Henry and the big scam is something bigger than pickpocketing and petty tricks. Listening to the music gives you an idea of ​​exactly what type of film it is. The Entertainer is played several times throughout the film and is the perfect song. The song matches the pace of the film and shows that it is both fun and serious..
