Pale face with a row of tears

Although the 1930s were a very glamorous age, everything worked out beautifully.
Although Depp said Dillinger was a living Robin Hood.
Although the bankers are the ones who make the depression, they are the ones who make the Robin Hoods like Dillinger.
Although the political conflicts with few scenes are described in detail and profoundly, and once again stated that the thief of the hook is punished, and the prince of the thief of the country is stated.
Although Dillinger's escape and the walk in the police station got my blood pumping.

But still,
I don't have much interest in the profession of the protagonist. This is just a story of a person's soul, and it has little to do with what he does for a living. In fact, there is no need to analyze the connotation of his rogue in detail, because the public has always been weakly influenced by power and public opinion. Dillinger was a hero who didn't rob the public but only the banker's unscrupulous money when he was born. After his death, he was a devil who challenged order and justice and finally got his retribution. This kind of thing happens all the time, and it's not for the people. It happens in everyone's life, and it's beyond discussion.

Even my perfection of the robbers' elegant and skilled modus operandi is only due to the strength of the soundtrack, and I no longer pay attention to the faces of the idols.
Anyway, as the movie went on I started to pile on disappointment, as the suspense became easy to guess, and I had begun to imagine the end of the story.

After Clark Gable scolded the little jailer and said "Die the way you lived, all of a sudden, that's the way to go. Don't drag it out. Living like that doesn't mean a thing.

" Unexpectedly, the ending is beautiful and unparalleled, with a neat death and a line of tears on a pale face.

Byebye, black bird.
This ending....sharp.
