When I heard that this is an American gangster history movie, and the male protagonist Dillinger is played by Johnny Depp, I thought I would definitely see the domineering scene where Dillinger led the gang to escape the government's big net and swept the world; You will lose, but you will win in the end.
Ignoring the definitions of "history" and "true events", I have a preconceived misunderstanding of the movie. If it's based on real events, how can I expect a decent (government) plot to lose everything?
Although, some of the plot at the beginning of the film does match my imagination:
Dillinger's carefully planned escape and robbery always succeed.
He is full of confidence and a gentleman. Even at the critical moment of robbing the bank, he reminds the customers of the bank to take their money and puts a coat on the beautiful girl who was taken hostage.
When he entered the prison, it was like a walk in front of the court, and he waved and smiled to the people watching by the roadside while being escorted.
He never worries about anything, he always seems to be a winner, he seems to know the whole situation like the back of his hand.

The love scene in the film does not occupy the main body, but it is very beautiful, and every segment is impressive profound. The powerful Dillinger chases girls as neatly as he robs a bank.
——If you're gonna be my girl, you're gonna have to swear to me that you'll never ever do that again.
——Hey, I'm not your girl. And I'm not gonna say that.
—I'm waiting. "I'm never gonna run out on you ever again."
——No.
——Well, I ain't ever gonna run out on you, and that's a promise.
......You ain't getting other people's hats and
coats no more neither. ——Why'd you do that?
——'Cause you're with me now.
——I don't know anything about you.
——I was raised on a farm in Mooresville, Indiana, My mama died when I was three. My daddy beat the hell out of me 'cause he didn't know no better way to raise me.I like baseball,movies,good clothes,fast cars,whiskey and you.What else you need to know?And
just like that,our beautiful Billie smiled , became Dillinger's woman, and never ''run out on him' again.
There are many ways to chase girls in this world, but I have never seen such a straightforward, ripping off: You are mine, You are mine, there is no reason, you are mine. The
story is actually very simple. He is a free robber who stands out from the bottom of the society, and she is an ordinary woman who seeks a life at the bottom of the society. He fell in love with this smiling man in red A girl with black curly hair, so I decided to live with her.
The couple's most carefree days were around the days when Dillinger took Billie on trips and horse racing. Back then he and his mates were still talking about the wanted warrant as a joke; when Billie questioned his safety and their future, his answer was as pompous, firm, and irrefutable as ever.
——You ain't going nowhere, you hear me? I'm gonna die an old man in your arms. We're too good for them. They ain't tough enough, smart enough or fast enough. I hit any bank I want any time. They got to be at every bank all the time. That's why we're on top of the world. Ain't nobody lay a glove on us. No. I ain't going nowhere. Neither are you.
What do you got to say about that? Billie gave the response he wanted with the reassurance and love in his eyes and a loving, tender kiss.
When everyone around them was cheering for the horse race, their kiss like no one seemed to have lasted for a century.
Even though she understands that his self-confidence does not mean that the two of them can enjoy the two-person world without incident, she is still willing to enjoy the sense of security this self-confidence brings to her, and is willing to seize every minute and second of the time to be with them. He coexists, even if it's just the calm before the storm, even if it's just short-lived luck.
Finally, Dillinger, who was betrayed again, watched helplessly as Billie was taken away by the police, his eyes red.
In the end, the police told Billie that Dillinger's last murmur before dying was "bye-bye, blackbird," and she burst into tears.
Some people think this story is the perfect example of love at first sight, like the Titanic plot, once strangers to each other, but then can live and die for you.
Fleeing at the end of the road, relying on each other in troubled times. Looking at their stories, I felt more of a kind of sadness and solemnity of Farewell My Concubine. This kind of love cannot be replicated.
———————————————————————————
As the thieves in the film die one by one, Dillinger gradually becomes a lonely goose, willing to resist , powerless. He finally accepted his own destiny, although he was unwilling, although there was nothing he could do, their time was over, as Red said: I got a feeling that my time is up. And when your time is up, your time's up. ...You gotta let go, John.
