which is how was Depp's performance historically inaccurate. Rather than discuss the actual, factual footage of Dillinger and the fact that the cops obviously liked him, you bring a completely unrelated criminal.

The problem for you, Tin, is that all you see is black and white, and never gray. He was a criminal. Therefore, Dillinger must have been all bad. He was completely evil. He cannot be likeable. Case in point is the fact that you completely ignore the factual footage of him and cops laughing it up. You ignore it because it does not comport to your world view of black and white.

Rather than discussing Bonnie and Clyde and Ted Bundy, how about discussing how Depp's performance was inaccurate. I've pasted Ebert's review, and he obviously get it.

Uh, no. Depp's portrayal had Dillinger as a regular guy who just - tinear 08:05:27 01/20/10 (1)
happened to kill people. He was scum.
As far as my posts exculpating murderers from slums or anywhere, go ahead. Spend your day researching. I look forward to it. You may wish to move this "outside," though, as it's not really film related at that point.

  Please provide the facts how Dillinger was not an average guy, except that he killed lots of people. Genius, Dahmer was an average guy, except that he killed lots of people. THAT IS HOW HE WAS NEVER CAUGHT. The smart criminal behaves like anyone else, so they do not get caught. The nutjobs are the ones that get caught by regular folks, because they, by their actions, identify themselves. Dillinger was able to walk aroung regular folks because he acted like them. That is, when he was not robbing banks.
  
  You bitch about Depp's performance. He did rob banks. He did kill people. That is ALL in the film. How did Dillinger act that Depp did not capture? All you keep talking about is that Depp portrayed Dillinger as a regular guy, all without providing a SINGLE example of how Dillinger acted that was NOT in the film.
  
  In other words, you have cannot accept the fact that Dillinger was a normal guy other than his occupation. Like Ebert wrote in his review, Dillinger's job was as a bank robber, just like someone else may be a mechanic. When Dillinger was not "working," he was a regular schlepp.
  
  Of course, you'll not provide the facts. You'd rather Depp create a fictional character to satisfy your notion that bank robbers and killers cannot have normal traits. That is your loss.
