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.
