During the depression it was the banks that lost the people's money and took away their home (of course other issues caused these things but to the people the bank was the one that DID IT). It also didn't hurt if the gangster was good looking (like Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde). <br /><br />p.s. have you seen Ned Kelly?Dan The Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407750720537818537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105140579962920627.post-21949344335678257782009-07-05T21:47:26.910-07:002009-07-05T21:47:26.910-07:00I did not like the film, yet I cannot understand w...I did not like the film, yet I cannot understand why. On one hand it seemed too long and slow yet on the other it felt like it tried to fit too much story into it. I went in interesting in Dillinger and I felt I left with a cliche. Maybe that is because the cliches are based on this man, I don't know...but I felt I knew what would happen before it happened. <br /><br />I wish it would have shown more of the earlier days and more of the reactions of regular folks toward a man who was sticking it to the banks that were giving them so much heartache during the Depression. Instead we are told he is beloved and good at what he does, given a couple of short example that I didn't feel got the point across then it went straight into the fall of the man.<br /><br />I was let down by the movie.<br /><br />and I must say, its time to retire the shaky cam.<br /><br /><br />-Dan SturgeonDan The Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407750720537818537noreply@blogger.com
