Variables are part of the plan

A perfect plan needs perfect people to execute. They are ordinary people, so the variables caused by their own shortcomings break the seemingly perfect plan-the inscription.

A very good story that fully shows the whole process of the robbery from beginning to end. The plan is very good, from gathering every relevant person, planning every step, stepping on points in advance, and arranging a successful retreat route, every aspect has been considered, and it is true. But they all despise the variables in the plan too much.

Variable one. Overhearing by George's wife

George is really a poor guy. He loves his selfish and vain wife with all his heart and is willing to dedicate everything to it, but this is due to his deep inferiority, cowardice and perverted desire for love. There is a kind of Wu Dalang facing Pan Jinlian. a feeling of;

His wife Shirley is also interesting. There is a kind of selfish and naive person who loves vain and innocence, just like George, who is willing to be a slave to the one he loves, and scornful and merciless to the one he does not love; this is another topic about love. ...

That’s it for George. After all, he is such a small clerk. He has no mind and no opinion. He is completely trapped in the personality slavery of his wife. In fear, he still tells his wife part of the plan; but when Johnny and the others discovered that George’s wife was eavesdropping Although I was worried at the time, it did not attract enough attention. Especially Johnny, who claimed to see that Shirley was a selfish slut, came here not because she was worried about her husband, but with the mentality that luck and self-comfort would not be too serious, so he did not take control measures and did not think about it further. Will there be anything behind it, and this is the instinctive vigilance that the gangster must be in the rivers and lakes.

The ending of the movie and the original novel should be different. I always thought that Shirley’s lover would come and take it away unconsciously in the process of finally loading the money on the car. Robbery when dividing money. This is also the reason why their lack of rigorous planning led to their destruction.

Variable two. The gunman angered the black guy

The gunman's tire was pierced by the iron ring that the black guy threw down angrily and was killed by the police.

He executed the plan according to Johnny's words, met the black guy guards, played the emotional card and gave money to solve the problem smoothly, and the black guy was grateful. As a result, the guy was too enthusiastic and kept coming to show his hospitality. It is a variable that may affect the situation in the future. I didn't calmly resolve this variable, and as a result, I lost my life and this variable.

Variable three. The box can’t get on the plane

Johnny and his team also considered some variables, that is, if an accident happened after success, they saved money first. As a result, Johnny bought a big box full of scattered money and prepared to get on the plane...

There are also bugs for the plot. Many movies are like this. A broken box is filled with money, and it opens as soon as you touch it...

Johnny didn't pay enough attention to this variable here either.

The partner had an accident. This is a variable. Johnny’s response was to immediately buy a big box and fill the money to flee to the field. This is also a common idea, but there is definitely a crisis in this way, so something happened later...

Is it safer to hide part of the money locally and take the other part in several packages?

Anyway, although Johnny's psychological quality is quite good, he has basically reached the level of a big boss, and he is calm and calm, but he is not far from other big bosses who plan ahead and have an extremely firm mind.

    One of Kubrick's works that has been the most beneficial to white. "It wasn't that you were locked in (prison), but I was locked out of prison waiting for you!" (It was like not that you were locked in, but I was locked out!)

    3.5, the commercial atmosphere is strong, there are many coincidence factors in the story, a Kubrick who has not yet become Kubrick. The fluency of the multi-line narrative is not inferior to that of the director who has made the film for many years. The narration does not reduce the suspense, but adds a trace of the tragic and solemn of the little people. I like the scene of changing equipment in the locker room. The fixed camera can also play a sense of tension.
