Ocean's 11

I had never seen the entirety of this version of Ocean's 11, so I was glad to finally get a chance to watch it. The environment of the film is very glamorous, and is what I think of when Sinatra, the Rat Pack, and Vegas come up in a conversation. Sinatra, Martin, and Lawford stay at the best places, know a large network of people, and have women fawning over them. Sinatra especially gets the label of being a playboy in this film; the first scene that he's in there is a woman just waiting around to give him a massage and then after a bit he just dismisses her somewhat rudely. He also talks to his ex-wife about going away together, and in another scene a woman named Adele angrily bursts into his apartment and it is clear that they had some sort of relationship. The whole notion of being a playboy seems to be the idea of masculinity that is promoted in this film, in particular because Sinatra is the ringleader and the organizer behind the heist and in a way the other guys look up to him. Along with an element of glamour there is also a huge element of risk in this film, and the belief that they are so good at what they do that they will never get caught.
