Men's movie "Public Enemy" is meant to be watched by both men and women.

I have tried my best to interpret this movie and all the feelings it brings to me.
I enjoyed this process a lot, and I hope you like it too.
——Written in front of

a boy after reading it, a long-lost sense of admiration and heroism emerged spontaneously. When he was a child, in his country, he was the king, and he was the master of his own world. The kind of conquering everything, getting rid of All the feeling of bondage may be what every boy has ever dreamed of. It can be said that in the depths of my heart, it is with such a feeling that I can be deeply attracted by this film.
In the blood flowing from the hero Johnny, there is an ambition that ordinary people do not have. As he himself described his childhood experience, "I grew up in Mooresville, Indiana, my mother died when I was three, and my father didn't know how to feed me, so he just kicked me out of the house." The bleak experience since childhood has created an unyielding heart, and this hot heart is full of longing and anger.
A group of partners who share weal and woe with you, even robbers, will have such pure brotherhood, such bohemian feelings, and begin to interpret a bloody story.
However, such extreme feelings also indicate that after all the prosperity comes to an end, there will be a lonely end.

who is he? who is he?
Johnny? God?

Johnny, a man's name. It is the male protagonist in this movie that makes me, after watching a man commit a crime, not hate him, nor have a sense of justice to bring him to justice, but hope that every time he succeeds in robbery, he will continue to get away with impunity, and I hope that Melvin • Purvis will never catch Johnny. Although I have to admit that Purvis is also an extremely smart and omnipotent man, but aside from laws and morals, I sincerely admire Johnny the robber, and even yearn for his "coolness".
In troubled times, a hero is born, and I think it can be described as such. Under the circumstances of the Great Depression and the turbulent times, these could not stop people's desire for a better life. Johnny, leading such a group of people, came aggressively, and swept away all the people and rules that stood in their way. My friend, I ask you, did you ever yearn for such pressure when you were young?
If you watch the details of the film carefully, you will find that such a domineering robber has a gentleman's body all over his body. For example, in the process of taking the hostages in the film, just after 15 minutes and 46 seconds, Johnny frowned and looked at the thinly dressed, shivering blonde, putting his coat over her. There was a concerned expression on his body.
When robbing the bank, he was not greedy for the savings of ordinary people. After seeing the loose money on the counter, he said to the person: "You can keep the change yourself." When he pursued Billie, he consciously put on a coat and coat for her... He happened to answer the sentence "often details can reflect the essence of a person". I never thought he was a bad guy, and he still is.
On his way to prison, many ordinary people watched the car escorting him on the side of the street. People kept shouting his name "Johnny, Johnny..." This gave him infinite glory sitting in the car. Suo's brows gradually loosened, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and it was that charming smirk again.
And the sentence "I'm not interested in kidnapping, the public is very disgusted with kidnapping people. I care, I have to hide myself in the public heap." It just reflects his deep desire to be recognized and integrated.

The robber is also a human being, and then the humor runs through it

Such a title is not excessive, I think it is very appropriate. After all, people also have emotions and desires, not to mention a group of people who compete with the rules of society. After the first bank robbery in the film, several robbers and hostages were sitting in the car, and the criminal XX said this to the blonde girl: "You know, when I didn't rob the bank, I was a scout. ." The girl asked back, "Really?" Several other criminals in the car laughed. There are also Johnny's "Come here, baby, let's go for a ride", "Baby, this is for you, so that you can never forget me"... All of them show the humorous and humane style of Lao Mei.

In addition to the naked shooting scene in the film, which makes people feel particularly real, Johnny's series of pursuits for Billie are also the highlight of the film. Not only the classic dialogue, but also the superb acting skills of handsome actor Johnny Depp. He combines language and body movements just right to show the character of Johnny to the audience more realistically.
"If the person in your eyes is as beautiful as the person in my eyes, you will be anxious too." "Listen baby, the most important thing is not where a person comes from, but where he will go" These free and easy words are accompanied by Bad smile, always lingering in my mind, very handsome man.
"You're not allowed to go anywhere, do you hear? I'm sure I'll die in your arms, we're so much better than those cops, they're not tough enough, smart enough, quick enough, I can grab anyone at any time A bank, they want to catch me, they are stationed in every bank if they want to catch me, that's why we are the best bank robbers in the world, no one wants to trample us underfoot, There are no doors, I'm not going anywhere, and you're not allowed to go anywhere. What do you think when I say that?" The man finished his words. At that moment, the woman looked at the man in front of her seriously, without any words to answer, her eyes were wet, the corners of her mouth gradually rose, and she replied to him with an affectionate kiss. The scene at the time was at a racetrack, and at the end of the game, the audience stood up excitedly. At this moment, everyone's expectation is the final winner, and Johnny and Billie kiss passionately, as if the world belongs to them both.
When he saw Billie being taken away by the agents of the Bureau of Investigation, Johnny's eyes were full of anger, he rushed out the door, the pistol was ready to fire, but it was close at hand, facing Billie being pressed into the car, Johnny Really helpless. As he drove away, he cried, his eyes filled with tears, what a sadness it was!
Johnny, I have to say that he is a worldly person, not to mention that I am a worldly person. Who can't understand his words and deeds?

The gentlemanly manner of Great Britain is rooted in the United

States. All American films do not reflect the place of the gentleman, and the film "Public Enemy" is no exception. You can even feel it personally, especially the two male protagonists, Johnny the robber and the detective Purvis. Johnny's kindness in his heart and his love for the lady are very strong, and Purvis's sympathy and help towards Billie are particularly clear against the rude behavior of others. Some people may think that these are hypocritical gentlemen, but this statement seems to be weak. In British words, it takes three generations to cultivate a gentleman. The demeanor of these two men can be seen to be brought from the bones and blood, isolating all filth and vulgarity. The essence is always the essence, even if the appearance is perfect, there will be a day when it will be revealed.

The Flower of Democracy in America

I've probably been unaffected by the theory that socialism devalues ​​capitalism, but it didn't start with this film, at least this film embodies the democratic nature of American society.
In the scene of Johnny's trial, the lawyer actually used the court's rhetoric that the prisoner was not merciful and violated human rights as a breakthrough point in his defense. This is completely inconsistent with the laws of traditional Chinese thought. Some people may say that the lawyer said these things. What's the use Woolen cloth? Brain flooded? If you think so, it means that you do not understand the United States and the laws of the United States (the democracy of the United States is indeed worth learning from China, and the law of the sea implemented by the United States can be further referenced). The result of this plea was that Johnny was untied from his handcuffs and shackles and allowed to be locked up in the Indiana State Prison, which was in line with his prearranged escape plan.
The interesting love scene is that Johnny was taken to the Indiana prison on the way, and received extensive attention from major media, and people were full of curiosity and expectations for him. Even when he entered the Indiana state prison, people would hook up with him and make fun of him. It seems that this person in front of the public is not a bank robber, not a murderer, but a star that people are eager to watch and admire. Oh, the hope of the people of the United States of America shines in its great light at this moment.

The ultimate fate of

a criminal is to be brought to justice after all, and really when that moment came, I don't think as a viewer, or a Johnny fan, would want to see him get shot in the end . The first bullet was shot from the back of his head and pierced through his right cheek, with a stream of blood flowing out of his face, and then a shot in the chest, bright red blood reflected from the clothes on his right chest. Johnny's eyes were startled at that moment, and maybe deep down in his heart, he was not afraid of the sky and earth, but at that time, people's fear will still be revealed. The bravest man in the world can't accept death so calmly, at least he can expect death to come, and try his best to face it calmly and without much panic.
Before that, what good accomplice Red said to Johnny before he died was more like a kind of exhortation, laying the groundwork for the ending. "John, forget it, let it go, you have to let go of biilie too. I know you, you won't leave others alone, but this time, you have to learn to let go, you have to learn to let go..." Red seemed to be saying Not finished, but when death comes, people are so quick to burp.
The bank robber Johnny, whose reputation spread all over the United States, was eventually killed. When he fell, the expressions on people's faces were happy and excited. It's like hearing about his legendary bank robbery.

Closing remarks:

Let us always remember the man who was wearing a large trench coat, a straight suit, a gentleman's hat, with firm eyes, shiny hair combed back, slightly raised corners of his mouth, residual stubble, slightly wrinkled forehead, speech A humorous man, he not only invaded the hearts of women across the United States, but he was also admired by men.
Bye, Johnny!

Supplement:

"Because we have two things that they don't have: the state-of-the-art scientific and technological equipment to fight criminals in the bureau, and secondly, and most importantly, we are under the leadership of our shrewd director, J. Edger. Hoover. "
This sentence also shows the sophistication and tact of Detective Purvis.

Luxurious coat by shragge in St. Louis, $35, airy, and thirty-five ounces of wool, top-notch tailoring.

The background music of the whole film is of that kind of long-lasting classical flavor.

"Johnny, how long does it take you to rob a bank?"
"About one minute and forty seconds. If there is only one floor." (Laughter) It seems that Johnny is not an arrested robber at this time, more Like a big crime movie star who is being interviewed by reporters, those humorous answers are like a happy news conference, showing generosity and humor.

The title of the song in the film is "the last round-up".

In the interrogation room, Billie was brutally tortured. The investigators not only scolded her mouth, but also tortured her to interrogate her. Such a capriciousness makes a woman who has not lived a deep life even more difficult. Fragile, billie was on the verge of collapse.

In the very short time after he fell to the ground, a sentence was repeated in his mouth, and no one heard what it was.
Later, agent winstead went to see billie who was still in prison. It seemed that billie already knew about Johnny's death. At first, she didn't seem sad. When she heard the words Johnny said before his death from winstead's mouth, tears welled up in her eyes
" Farewell, melancholy bird."

Classic dialogue:

"Why should we worry about tomorrow when we are happy today?"

"The most important rule I learned from walter Dietrich is to never give up on your life. work with people."
"Hey, yes, I also have the rule you mentioned, that is, stay away from women for the rest of your life."
"The world would be a dark prison without women."

"I store clothes for guests at the steuben club, what do you do?"
"I'm in a hurry now, eager to meet people like you. , melancholy (), beautiful, as the song says."

"The places I've been to may not be so interesting."

"If you see people as beautiful as mine, you'll be anxious too."

"At this point A lot of people are looking at me right now."
"Because you're beautiful."
"They're looking at me because they're not used to having girls like me in $3 dresses dining in the same restaurant as them. "
Look, baby, it's not where a man came from, it's where he's going."
Billie: "Where do you want to go?"
Johnny: "I can go wherever I want." "
Let's


stay away from this unfortunate place." "You ran away from me."
"You left me on the street."
"If you want to be my woman, you must swear never again ." So done."
"Hey, I'm not your woman yet. I'm not going to swear that."
"I'll wait for you."

"You'll never have to take other people's hats and coats for them again."
" What the hell are you doing?"
"You're with me now."
Billie: "But I don't know you at all."
Jonny: "I grew up in Mooresville, Indiana, my mom died when I was three, my dad didn't know how to feed me, so he just kicked me out of the house, I love movies, baseball, good clothing, Sports car, whiskey, and you. (The coolest thing is that while saying and you, Johnny looks at her firmly, as if to emphasize, he subconsciously nods.) What else do you want to know? ?"

"Go back to Indiana again, do you miss
me here?" "I think Indiana misses me more." (Laughter from reporters)

"Did you transport guns into Indiana prisons and plan September 26 Day's Prison Break?"
"Dude, are you curious about this?"

"Your Majesty, is the law in our country or Indiana allowed to increase the atmosphere of human rights abuses during arraignments? The whole hall seems to be Bloody resentment and unforgivable hostility pervade them all. These banging handcuffs and shackles remind us of the dungeons of autocratic monarchs, not the liberty-minded American courts dressed in the stars and stripes. I ask the court to ask the bailiffs to remove them immediately Prisoner's handcuffs and shackles."

"I can't guarantee what immigration will do, but I can assure you what I will do. If you don't cooperate, within 48 hours, you will be taken out of the United States in a small boat. Don't play tricks with me."

"What are you still doing here?"
"Meet some people."

"When you're desperate, you don't have much choice."

    Alvin Karpis: Who gives a damn what the public likes?

    John Dillinger: I do. I hide out among them. We gotta care what they think.

  • John Dillinger: [in his jail cell] Well, here's the man who killed Pretty Boy Floyd. Damn good thing he was pretty, 'cause he sure wasn't Whiz Kid Floyd. Tell me something, Mr. Purvis. That fellow, the one who got killed at the Sherone Apartments - the newspaper said you found him alive. It's the eyes, ain't it? They look at you right before they go. And then they just drift away into nothing. That'll keep you up nights.

    Melvin Purvis: And what keeps you up nights, Mr. Dillinger?

    John Dillinger: Coffee. You act like a confident man, Mr. Purvis. You got a few qualities. Probably pretty good from a distance, especially when you got the fellow outnumbered. But up close, toe to toe, when somebody's about to die right here, right now - I'm used to that. What about you?
