I think "elegant" is really a great word for the recent version of Ocean's Eleven. It reminds me of this article about charm I read here which kind of says that George Clooney epitomizes the quality of being a charming man (which I think I generally agree with) and which is a falling virtue. I have always really enjoyed the new version of Ocean's Eleven. I think it's better than the original, I really enjoy the more developed characters and "unity" kind of of the 11 men and their development and distinguishment from each other that is present. The movie feels clean, snazzy, stylish - it feels elegant.

In a world where a large amount of people 'succeed' being 'successful' is fine and dandy, but being 'successful' with style and grace(A lack of visible effort), is true victory.
