History Forum / General / British History / July 2009Finally a decent movie: Public Enemy #1
"Public Enemy" with Johnny Depp is an awfully good genre film and the best in general release since STAR TREK came out 2 months ago. Depp's love interest is Marilyn Cotillard who charmed us 2 years ago as Edith Piaf. I can imagine Depp probably met her in France. "Public Enemy" is a reprise of the Great Depression class struggle when bank robbers were briefly seen as folk heroes.

I'm convinced he did. I mean, would such a man kill indiscriminately? He was, as you say, a soldier. Such a man would know his target intimately. He did exactly what he intended to do. >>> how does one influence the course of corrupt politics? >>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > often chosen.

I just saw it and I thought it was great too! Johnny Depp is perfect for that role. Today the bankers *are* the robbers! Dennis > > "Public Enemy" with Johnny Depp is an awfully good genre > > film and the best in general release since STAR TREK came [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Dennis ~~~~~~~~~ Bully for you, Dennis ! Peter Jason's reaction to the Neocons is just... well...too anarchistic and vigilantist...just what one can expect from the Outback and Roo country. He neglects to mention that Gordon Brown FIRED those bankers who were responsible for investing in phony securities. This is something US Dems did not do...I suppose because the Dems want to show "solidarity" with Wall Street Repubs.

Cheers, David H ~~~~~ both had long careers in which they both made better movies than Carradine, Oates and Ben Johnson were the Gorch brothers in The Wild Bunch, the greatest western ever. Ben Jognson is the only Oscar winner who is also in the Rodeo HoF. his stunt riding in Waynes Ft Apache trilogyis spectacular. Yeah, Oates, Johnson ,Elam, all great actors.among my favorites. > > "Dennis" <tsalagi18NOS...@hotmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Haha the John Milius "Dillinger" is one of my favorite movies ever! I haven't seen it yet, but I'm curious... Does it show his arrest in Tucson? My grandfather was the TP Officer that walked up, stuck his gun in JD's ribs (determining if he had his bullet-proof vest on) and arrested him - James Charles Herron. Just curious.

How remarkable to have something like that in the family! Congratulations! Yes, it shows the arrest in Tucson, though I don't remember the details.

My Step-mom was also a TPD Detective and she gathered a lot of material for me. James C. Herron (Grandpa) was awarded one of JD's guns, and the handcuffs used to arrest him at his retirement. I never saw any of this as my dad bailed early on and we never had further contact. It's just family history, I never met my Grandfather - he died early. But it piques my interest from time to time.
