I might concede the point to you, but can you please explain what you mean by "This issue is not with Dillinger being a gangster. He was. The claim was that Depp did not act like a 'gangster.' You see, that is called conclusion, and, in and of itself, means nothing. You mean he shit like a gangster?"
So A is A and B is not A. That is a conclusion? Just not clear. Sorry.
I realize that Mann/Depp chose a perspective in which to portray Dillinger and you are defending that perspective--I'm guessing. For you the movie worked. It didn't for me. If their perspective had a little more complexity--say, taming the beast within to be the charming hero in public--I might have enjoyed it. They didn't, and the movie was simplistic...for me. It just lacked meaning, etc.
