This film reflects many problems in American society in the 1960s and 1970s. People’s wages are low, law enforcement agencies are corrupt and inefficient, homosexuals are discriminated against, the entire society is unstable and discordant, full of irritability and despair, and it needs an outlet for everyone to vent. , So the male protagonist who robbed the bank became an idol worshipped by the lower classes of the society, but he still fell in with the law in the end.
He is not a bad person either. He robbed the bank to support his parents, took care of his wife and children, and helped same-sex lovers raise funds for sex reassignment surgery. When robbing a bank, he negotiated, took care of the hostages, distributed his assets, and finally promised his wife: "You are the only woman I have ever loved."
Robbing a bank is just a matter of life.
