It is said that after he was shot, huge crowds of curious people marched outside the morgue to see how many eyes and mouths the thief had; in the alley where Dillinger fell, there were even many Dillinger's blood was dipped in a handkerchief as a memorial; he was buried in Indianapolis' Crown Hill Cemetery, and his headstone was often dug up as a souvenir. If you are a human being and do this all your life, you should be content. What does it matter if you are a chivalrous person or a thief? Those who have left their names in history are not necessarily all great, glorious and correct.
I don't know if John Dillinger was a wicked man or he robbed the rich to help the poor, but the "Windy City" of Chicago did have its legendary years.
In the late 1920s, the Great Depression of the American economy, the collapse of the stock market, and the financial crisis were everywhere. In the 1930s, Chicago, as the second largest city in the United States, was still full of feasts and money. To sum up, it is "the wine and meat of the Zhu family stink, and the road is frozen to death", which fully reveals the corrupt and sinful nature of the evil capitalism.
At this time, the rise of urban crime rate is inevitable. Even if you are writing martial arts novels, it is the turn of Jiang Yang robbers and commoner heroes to appear. There are some who roar at Lu Jian's injustice, some who rob the rich to help the poor, and some who do all kinds of evil while taking advantage of the fire. John Dillinger of Chicago probably can't escape these categories.
Various gangster legends in Chicago have always attracted Hollywood to put them on the big screen. The famous "Scarface" and "Unselfish" in film history are the performance of another famous Chicago gangster king in Chicago at the same time: Al • Capone's legendary experience.
In this "Public Enemy", we see that John Dillinger's style is quite cool, with a suit and leather shoes, oily face, a machine gun in his hand, and a long coat fluttering on his body. I guess if the director has seen "The True Color of Heroes" ”, Depp will definitely make another toothpick. In the bank at dusk, he and his companions are graceful and graceful when they robbed. In the nightclub at midnight, there is also their rotten life. Compared with the solitary hero Xiao Ma, who is more righteous, this group of people is more like the same generation in Shanghai beach. Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li. It is said that John Dillinger was finally betrayed by the woman he loved, which shows that this guy is romantic and a real man with affection and justice!
It is also an immigrant city and a financial center. The urban temperament of Chicago is very similar to that of Shanghai in the same period, with the same row upon row of skyscrapers and the same flashy world of the jungle. Every street with neon lights shining; the intoxicating jazz that fills the Shanghai dance halls comes from Chicago across the sea.
The director Michael Mann, who is going to tell us this legendary story, was born in this city called Chicago.
