There have been many movies about kidnapping in Hong Kong, such as "Serial Bureau", "The Witness", etc., as well as "Rescue Mr. Wu", which has performed well recently. Most of these stories are based on real events, and they often attract attention. It's not the movie itself, but the events behind it. Over the years, some kidnapping cases have been solved, while some kidnapping cases have become unsolved.
The film I want to talk about today is called "The Kidnapping Group" (also known as "Heineken Kidnapping"). The story of being kidnapped and three weeks in captivity between Alfred and five criminals.
In the Netherlands in 1983, the financial crisis, the economic depression, the bankruptcy of the business and the lack of financial support from the bank, five young people who were overwhelmed by life came up with a crazy plan, and they decided to do something big at this time. Son, complete their first small goal in life, this plan is: kidnapping Heineken's big boss!
So five young people headed by Jim planned and carried out this kidnapping case that shocked the world. They imitated the modus operandi of a famous criminal organization in history, and devoted themselves to study and research. On a dark and windy night, Heineken's boss and driver were kidnapped, and the extortion amount was 60 million, but what they didn't expect was that in the next three weeks, they experienced the most frightening period of their lives together.
Obviously, this was a premeditated and planned crime. If it wasn't for this kidnapping case, they might still be exploited and unknown little people in society. They are a group of unlucky young people after encountering a social crisis. in every corner of the city.
Does God throw the dice?
As if chosen by God, these five young people followed their plan almost perfectly.
The Heineken boss and his driver were locked in a secret room, and the old actor Anthony Hopkins played the role of Heineken boss. He played "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Hannibal". Lambs played the role too realistically and was threatened and kidnapped by gangsters, which also made him once refused to appear in "Hannibal".
Anthony Hopkins's old-fashioned acting skills are highly infectious. His calm and wise dialogue with the kidnappers and his calm aura are awe-inspiring. During the days when he was kidnapped, he was determined and took every step of the way, testing the kidnapper's heart again and again. , This is a game of human nature, a lasting psychological contest!
The boss of Heineken asked the kidnappers to prepare the pianist's music and books for him, and every time he met them, he would speak eloquently and brainwash them. When the kidnapper leader Jim came to see him, the boss of Heineken said that in the film The classic line: "A person wants to be rich in two ways: one, having a lot of money, and two, having a lot of friends, but not both." It made Jim's heart start to shake. .
This protracted kidnapping case finally ended with the rescue of the hostages, but there were many doubts and no answers were found. During the three weeks of being kidnapped, the boss of Heineken once wrote an anonymous letter to the police, informing them of five young people. It was the real culprit of this kidnapping case, and the police also learned the location of the kidnapping of the Heineken boss. The huge amount of stolen money hidden has not yet been found.
Who exactly wrote the letter to the police? And even the location of the kidnapping is well known. Did one of the five of them write an anonymous letter to the police?
In the eyes of this tycoon who has been wandering in the mall all the year round, it seems that everything is a business. The kidnapper is just making a deal with him. He talks to the five of them in the secret room many times in turn, as if he is negotiating. Discussing business at the table. During the kidnapping process, he calmly responded and possessed the ability to understand human nature. He had already seen that this was a group of novice kidnappers. They kidnapped him just for money. As long as the conditions were negotiated, he might let him go out.
Choose to have a lot of money? Or choose to have many friends? This is a multiple choice question, and it also sounds like a condition.
I guess the Heineken boss should have said the same thing to all five people at the time. So one of the five of them was shaken, this person made a choice, he wrote that anonymous letter in the dark and secretly sent it to the police. He spent several years in prison for this kidnapping case, and after he was released from prison, he took the huge amount of stolen money that the five of them had hidden and disappeared from the world.
If the truth is really like this, then he is also a criminal genius. Of course, this is just a bold guess I made based on the movie and real data. It has been so long since the incident, and maybe even the police who came into contact with the case at the time have retired. Now, the truth is like a huge sum of money buried somewhere unknown, sealed by time, and these five young people also got their wish and became famous for this kidnapping case.
They were later hailed as the "Dutch version of the godfather".
