The handsome Johnny added a lot to the movie, for the handsome and bold, and his somewhat neurotic eyes.
It seems that robbers and pirates are really relatives, with the same behavior and the same fate and stubbornness. The pirates have a taste of Robin Hood who helps the weak, but being a robber can only win him favor from his perverse behavior. His love, his righteousness to save his companions, his revenge will be avenged, his words will be deed... As a man, he is indeed a man.
You can't rob a bank for a lifetime, but Johnny seems to agree with his destiny quite a bit. I even suspect that he wants to die at the police's gun, lest he be caught in jail, hanged on trial.
Regardless of whether it is good or bad, it may be one of the virtues of a pure man to look for fate and go to the end in a lifetime.
