Where did Comrade Dillinger fail?

Dillinger is an old comrade with rich experience in underground work, surrounded by a group of like-minded partners who live and die together. In the process of fighting against the lackeys of the FBI, it has fully demonstrated that the team is efficient, loyal and reliable. Although the cause of struggle ultimately failed, their heroic deeds are still passed down among the working people of the United States. Today, it was finally put on the big screen by the famous director Michael Mann.

Some people will think that Comrade Dillinger's failure stems from the betrayal and betrayal of a small group of unsettled people in the team, such as the male traitor who had a bullet in his right eye and failed to stand up to torture to extract a confession, and the man who wanted to get a residence status. Romanian female traitor who revealed Dillinger's whereabouts.

I say these are only secondary factors, the main factor is the loss of the right leadership in the organization. Just as revolutionary work and construction work are led by the party, criminal activity requires syndicate leadership. As the saying goes: the train runs fast, all depends on the locomotive belt. If the robber does not have a leader, it is not easy to do it. Either they grab less, or they cannot run. With syndicates, there are bases. Comrade Dillinger's previous victories against the enemy were not enough only by careful planning and efficient actions by a small team. Intelligence, vehicles, shelters, medical aid, and lawyer rescues are also related to the success or failure of the mission and the safety of comrades. Behind these things, stands the tall and silent figure of Syndicate.

When the leaders of the syndicate made it clear to Comrade Dillinger that the method of robbing a bank could no longer meet the needs of the new situation, setting up a voice station was the kingly way. Dillinger's disobedience to organizational leadership is revealed. It is clear that the news station can earn a bank robbery once a day, but Dillinger refuses to obey the organization's arrangement. If Dillinger could follow the trend and escort the voice channel business instead, he would not have sacrificed his precious life in the head-on conflict with the FBI. This painful lesson should be learned by latecomers.

Comrade Dillinger lives on forever.

PS: There are many places in the film, and the pictures have the taste of TV dramas.
PS: Powerful sets, props, costumes, amazing
PS: The chick who watched the movie with Dillinger at the end of the film, played by Leelee Sobieski, is the LOLI who rolled with two Japanese perverted men in Kubrick's posthumous work "Eyes Wide Shut", and is also in "88 minutes" serial killer.

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?
