] "The Thief in the City", the failure of the Chinese name translation

Perhaps it is for the pursuit of attendance, so that the audience thinks it is another thrilling police and robber shootout! The Chinese translation takes the idiotic name "The Thief in the City"! The original English name is "The Town". Why is it called? After watching the video, I guess everyone should understand it!
A group of children who grew up in Charles City, Boston, they are very simple and believe that their destiny is closely related to this city. Without those parents, they might become hockey world stars, excellent circuit engineers, hardworking workers and so on! But the fate of the fathers (maybe several generations before) is passed on to them! Be a thief! Underworld life! Helpless and unable to! Some people have no choice but to admit their fate, some people think it is a kind of enjoyment! No one thinks they should leave the city! But after all, some people will realize and decide to fight against fate! Ben Afflett made it! Love made him sober, helped him escape this city, and escaped from this life, out of the shackles of fate! Thinking of Zhang Jiahui’s "Mong Kok Prison", he would never get out of Mong Kok for the rest of his life.
Look at the title again, everyone may be the same as I thought! What a shit! Also a robber! That's right, it's a story about a besieged city! The American version of "Siege"!

    No matter how much this type is done, there is no way to prevent me from contacting the pirate line quickly, and from the very beginning of this film, I was going to follow the bloody love route, which made me extremely annoyed! ! Paying attention to the plot and acting is better than paying attention to Xiaoben’s face that seems a little more handsome than the original, although Xiaoben wants to prove that he is a director~~PS: It's good to dress up~~

    A 150m film is almost as long as a season of American drama. To be honest, it would be more interesting to make it into an American drama. Many routes did not start well; the film is not the FBI, not Pacino. There are no bright characters and no rival dramas can be forgiven; besides the popular genre movie, there are many loopholes in logic that can still be forgiven. The audience hopes that the winner wins, the damn it is dead, and the urban gangsters also have a southern temperament.

The Town quotes

  • Doug MacRay: I need your help. I can't tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we're gonna hurt some people.

    James Coughlin: ...Whose car are we gonna' take?

  • Claire Keesey: Did you say your name was Jim or Gem?

    James Coughlin: Well, huh, it's kinda both. The teacher's use to always say, "Here take this one. He's a gem."
