Johnny Depp's film, it's not bad. Compared with other films, in this film, his role is relatively normal.
John: "You can take the money, we're here for the bank's money, not yours." He robbed the bank, but he wasn't wicked, they were willing to kill, maybe, for him, he He just wants money, as long as the goal is achieved, why should he act viciously? He seems to be an elegant robber who pursues the spirit of a bit of stealing, and maybe this is the reason for the birth of his tragic color in the film.
"They're all looking at me. They're looking at me because they're not used to having a girl in a $3 dress in a restaurant like this." "That's because they only care where people come from, but where they're going. That's the only thing that matters."
"The paper said he was alive when you found him. They looked at you and ran away, and it kept you up at night." "What's keeping you up at night?" John "Coffee" Saying these things plainly, maybe, it's just a way for him to hide himself, it's not so much sarcasm as it's a sympathy, he knows what it's like to watch his friend die, because he just watched his own Friend Walter dies in front of him, and there is nothing he can do.
Nitti: "On October 23, you robbed 74,802 yuan, and you thought that was a lot. These calls make so much money every day. Day after day, year after year. Unless the police break in. And you're here, the police will break in anyway, what do you think that means?" "I'm welcome" "That tells us that you're not good for our business. The council made a decision, like For people like you, we no longer launder money for you. We no longer provide you with any assistance." His time seems to have passed, and simple violent bank robbing is no longer the main thing for gangsters. They have better money. At this time, John seems to have become a declining nobleman, abandoned by the times, becoming worthless, and seems to have become a stumbling block for the underworld to make money. Reed: "I feel like my time is over. If yours is over, it should be over." Reed also seems to be coming to terms with the status quo. It feels like a hero's end, they may have a strong ability to rob a bank, but this has become a marginal thing, it seems to have become a dragon slaying skill, and it has become useless.
"You don't like to work with unfamiliar people" "Never work with desperate people"
"I know you, you have never let anyone down, but this time, you have to let go." However, how many people know that The courage to do nothing, sometimes, people don't care about that simple result, but the whole process before the result arrives.

Public Enemies quotes

  • [Purvis and Baum are listening in on a wiretapped call]

    Agent Carter Baum: This is a phone conversation from a car dealership twenty-seven minutes ago. Harry Berman.

    [He pushes down the needle to play back an acetate disk]

    John Dillinger's voice: When you drop it, leave the keys on the floorboard.

    Harry Berman's voice: I got a DeSoto.

    John Dillinger's voice: Okay.

    [Purvis takes off his headphones]

    Melvin Purvis: How did we get to Berman?

    Agent Carter Baum: Off the Dillinger coat. The coat was bought in Cicero, Illinois, a few doors down from Berman's dealership. Now we know Berman. He's been supplying cars to the Syndicate since Capone. When Dillinger bought that coat, he must've been at Berman's switching cars.

    Melvin Purvis: Soon as they call to drop the DeSoto, we'll tail it. I want men on this, around the clock.

  • [Hoover is at a Senate Appropriation Committee hearing]

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: Why do we need this?

    J. Edgar Hoover: Because criminals flee in fast automobiles across state lines, thereby defeating local jurisdiction because there is no federal police force to stop them.

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: By my tally, your bureau wants to spend more taxpayer's dollars catching crooks, than what the crooks you catch stole in the first place.

    J. Edgar Hoover: Well that's ridiculous. The Bureau has apprehended kidnappers and bank robbers who have stolen up to and in excess of...

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: Really?

    [Hoover stops midsentence]

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: How many have you apprehended?

    J. Edgar Hoover: We have arrested and arraigned 213 wanted felons.

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: No, I mean *you*, Director Hoover.

    J. Edgar Hoover: Well, as Director, I administer.

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: How many have you arrested, personally?

    [long pause as Hoover stares at McKellar]

    J. Edgar Hoover: I have never arrested anybody.

    [Other men in the chamber gasp in shock]

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: You've never arrested anybody?

    J. Edgar Hoover: Well of course not. I'm an administrator...

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: With no field experience. You are shockingly unqualified, aren't you, sir? You have never personally conducted a criminal investigation in the field in your life. I think you're a front. I think your prowess as a lawman is a myth, created from the hoopla of headlines by Mr. Suydam, your publicist there. Crimebuster? G-Man? You're setting yourself up as a Czar? That's running wild in my estimation.

    J. Edgar Hoover: A *crime* is what runs wild...

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: If this country requires a bureau such as yours, I question whether you are the person fit to run it.

    J. Edgar Hoover: [getting angry] Well I will not be judged by a kangaroo court of venal politicians...

    Senator Kenneth McKellar: Your appropriation increase is denied.

    [taps his gavel, signifying the end of the session; Hoover and his aides get up and leave]

    J. Edgar Hoover: Feed the following to Walter Winchell: "McKellar is a Neanderthal, and he is on a personal vendetta to destroy me." We will not contest him in his committee. We need to fight him on the front page. Where's John Dillinger?
