High-achieving criminal professional

This is not the history of gangsters like the "Godfather", the intellectual brilliance of Doctor "Hannibal", the reflection of "Natural Born Killers", nor the lingering enthusiasm of "jailbreak", and it is not "Che Guevara". Chuan Che" god-making movement. "Mesrine: L'instinct de mor death instinct (upper part)" and "L'ennemi public n° 1" (lower public enemy number one) are just an anarchist's life legend.
The upper and lower parts are together for about four hours, and I can't say which one is more exciting. Merlin's death description used pen and ink for nearly half an hour. Maybe the director is like us and doesn't want him to die like this, but no matter how many or not. To be willing, under the chaos of the gun, there is no complete skin.
The prison is for people like Merlin to study, and then "breaking out" is the graduation exam. His graduation thesis is the book written in prison. His grades are getting better and better every time, as evidenced by his influence on society. .

In the description before the movie: This story is partly fictitious because it cannot fully reflect the complexity of the characters themselves. From the relatively neutral point of view, let's count the complicated things. As long as there are these three points, the characters will shine. .
First, there is a way to steal, which is the primary potential of becoming a successful underworld figure. I rob the bank, but I don't want to kill innocent people. I succeeded in breaking out of prison, and I risked my death to help my friends in prison.
Second, the concept of family. For this, I have to use the words of Uncle Liu Huang. Friends are like siblings, and wives are like clothes. Don’t get involved with your parents and children, don’t let outsiders bully your wife, and you can beat and scold yourself for your friends, that is, you can cut your wife and abandon your children for your friends. Do not harm the family.
Three, love is greater than life, his accomplices have changed a lot, we each go our own way, I am worthy of you, but outsiders can not say that I treachery. I don't know, don't talk nonsense.
People who don't like it might say that this is like a chronicle movie like a running account, robbery, killing, escape, and then don't want to be jailed again, the police are tired, so they can just kill it. If his ideal is bigger and calmer, maybe it is the core of the anti-government organization. But he didn’t. In the end, he was just a legend, not a hero, not a traitor, not like a madman, but just an ordinary person who likes to violate the existing social organization, but he did it, he did it when he was not happy, and he was very persistent. He did it, so he became a legend.
The above is also the main point of his "Graduation Thesis".
As a high-achieving criminal major, a place like prison can learn more than a university.

Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1 quotes

  • La journaliste interview: [Begins interview] Why are you doing this?

    Jacques Mesrine: [long pause] Because I don't like laws.

    Jacques Mesrine: I don't like the laws and I don't want to be a slave of the alarm clock my whole life.

    Jacques Mesrine: I don't want to spend my entire life dreaming. I don't want to always think how I have to work half a year just so I could buy some thing.

    La journaliste interview: What do you expect from your life? Recognition? Money?

    Jacques Mesrine: [chuckles] What a question! Money, money, money... all of you just keep talking about it, always the same. But I'm completely different.

    Jacques Mesrine: What exactly am I doing? I'm looking for the money in the places where they are - in the banks.

    [laughs]

    La journaliste interview: Regarding the politics, are you on the left or the right?

    Jacques Mesrine: [sighs] Neither side. I think politics are a dirty game. It's better to keep the distance from it. I don't trust any politician.

    La journaliste interview: Do you consider yourself as a dangerous individual?

    Jacques Mesrine: Dangerous... And according to you? I don't know, maybe I'm dangerous. I don't know. Why are you asking?

    [laughs]

    Jacques Mesrine: Depends to whom. For instance I don't play with cops.

    Jacques Mesrine: [pulls out his pistol and poses for the photographer] Shoot it!

    Jacques Mesrine: Good photograph, publish it!

    Jacques Mesrine: Dangerous... Probably yes. I'm probably dangerous.

    La journaliste interview: What kind of old age and death will you have?

    Jacques Mesrine: Old age... Honestly, I don't think I'll live that long.

    Jacques Mesrine: One day they'll shoot me to death, and it will completely make sense. Natural. After all, for someone who was in prison with maximum security, there are no rules. Like me, I live without rules.

    La journaliste interview: Without rules and without hope?

    Jacques Mesrine: [does not answer]

    La journaliste interview: Do you have any plans?

    Jacques Mesrine: I've got a lot of plans. Close the prison with maximum security. I lived there for 5 years. Can you imagine? The whole 5 years! I want all of those who sit there to be freed! I've seen what's going on over there, how they break people, how they destroy them. But our Mr. Minister, Alain Perfite, he doesn't get it yet. I am an excellent shooter and I can kill a few judges.

    Jacques Mesrine: [exclaims] Do we need in France gangs of Bordello? Do we need Red Brigades? Let them ask themselves the question. Because if there will be need to go in their neighborhoods to train with Palestinians, I'll go! They can shit their pants!
