It's hard to imagine that in 2009 you are still making movies in this way

One is bandit and the other is fbi, the classic duo mode routine, but it was not produced in the 1970s or 1980s. To tell the truth, this thing appeared in 2009, which is a realistic satire of American film shooting techniques.

Whether it's from the scripted events, the actors' performances, the rhythm expressions, the scene pictures, every angle, this is a rubbish movie that is not worth the time.

If the two heroes want to stand up, the gangsters have to have their own way, and the police also have their own way. It may be sympathy for each other, or it may be that the way is different, but they must have a spiritual core, otherwise the confrontation between the two actors will not stand up, and they will fall. For a single male protagonist.

There are only ruthlessness and love in the eyes of the bandits. From the beginning to the end of the film, the bandits are abnormal and surrounded by love, but the love between them is very cheap, making people unable to sympathize.

As for the Tao, not at all. It seems that the American background in the 1930s has become a decoration, there is no part that stimulates his character and cultural values, and there is not even a description of the details of life.

Bell, who played the policeman, was even worse. In 2009, when he was at his thinnest, he couldn't stand the air of a policeman at all. He was accompanied by his face from beginning to end, and his face was expressionless.

In the face of such a gangster, he not only has no Tao, but also no wisdom. He is just a tool person. If there is a clue, he will start without a clue. If there is no clue, he will be incompetent. There is not even one of his subordinates who can clearly recognize the face, which is enough to show the weakness of the team. .

A movie should always have a selling point. No one cares if you are shooting according to historical facts. This is not a documentary. What we need is the director. Are you going to pass the magic to us? Otherwise, what's the difference between you and a photographer with a dv? ?

No wonder John Woo was so popular when he arrived in the United States. To tell the truth, American directors are really good directors in this type of film, and there are not many good directors to be commended.

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?
