Can we say that this is one of Depps best performances. This movie in general is underrated and all the actors were amazing. One of the best crime movies I've watched.
I wouldn't of said Dillinger was the bad guy, he didn't hurt innocent civilians and wasn't a gangster like scarface , I would just say he was good and bad but on what the FEDS done to him was terrible.
Actually during Dillinger's shooting the feds accidently shot and wounded to women bystanders. They also killed several civilians by 'mistake' during another incident. There are no records of Dillinger ever harming any of his hostages. A witness even claimed he threatened to shoot Baby Face Nelson for threatening to harm a hostage.
He put innocent people in front of him and his cohorts as human shields consistently. So he was either a bad guy or a coward. Could'nt have been a good guy and courageous to do something like that. He knew damn good and well gunplay was possible everyday he left his bedroom, let alone when robbing banks. It'd be more respectable to bang it out with police who signed up knowing the risk, than hide behind some woman who was picking up money for groceries and the water bill. As far as no record of hurt civilians, let's assume that's true. What about the prison guards or police officers he shot while they're working to provide for a family during a depression to satisfy his own greed.
Depp was great in this. I remember an interview with a lady who's dad was a cop during those days she asked her father if Dillinger was a 'good guy' or a 'bad guy' he said 'sweetheart he was a 'good' bad guy
The old cop-father of an acquaintance was asked the difference between the law enforcers and the Public Enemies of that era. He said, "Both of them were tough, loyal, and had the ability to think like a crook. The difference was, the bad guys just had bad hearts."
You can see that dillinger was Inspired while watching the film. It was acceptance and validation that his fate was coming. He even said were having too much of a good time to be thinking about tomorrow, it was the path he chose his closest friends were gone the only purpose he had left was the woman he loved
@rickysamra…. Of all the comments you said it best , he somehow knew his time was was running out , that his luck would run out…. Depp is brilliant just brilliant is overdue an Oscar.
Not only was it Dillinger being inspired by the movie, it was him basking in how he himself inspired America. He got to see what he would leave behind and was happy enough to die with that legacy.
That agent was a disgrace. He's the same one who beat on Billy during the FBI's interrogation of her earlier in the film. I guess beating on a woman gave him power and was the only way he could get it up.
Those of you commenting that this film glorified Dillinger and his criminal friends apparently missed the point. By no means is the film trying to say that Dillinger was a good guy. What it's saying is that he never pretended to be anything other than what he was whereas a good number of cops were actually criminals hiding behind badges. When J. Edgar Hoover decided to bring gangsters like Dillinger to justice it wasn't because he believed it was the right thing to do. It was because he saw a golden opportunity to make a name for himself and took advantage of it.
I ain't mad at that.... anymore than someone robbing a bank. People who want to get ahead and win in a game of gunplay & glory....I completely understand approve and even commend their balls commitment and ambitions.... The problem is, when you're playing these high stakes blood games, most always people end up getting hurt or killed who never agreed or even knew they were putting themselves on the line. It's not what JD or the Gov specifically did that I'm condemning or judging. It's the collateral damage, who got hurt and how most of them never even knew they bought in let alone wanted to put their lives at risk. However..... the simple fact is, had JD peacefully and without casualties committed these crimes, he never would've lasted. As it was, he and his crew directly initiated gunplay during their crimes. As far as after escaping the scene, any ambushes or assaults from hve Gov were still indirectly spawned from crimes, casualties and actions of JD&co.
Problem was, at that time, the banks were looked on as evil as the bank robbers. People saw Banks to be the real criminals. In fact evidence tends to indicate that a lot of the bank robberies that John Dillinger committed were pre-arranged. The bank would get robbed for $25,000, and then the bank would report it as $52,000. I have studied Dillinger upside, downside, sideways. Always was fascinated with him. How he was able to hide under the nose of the law. I don't know how they did pre-arranged robberies, and I have to look into that. But apparently evidence indicates that a lot of them were indeed pre-arranged events
Lord the music here I remember seeing Judy Garland describe how she met Dillinger She was at the cinema with her sisters and thought he was a film star, and asked him for his autograph She said he was sweet and charming, he signed his autograph, and she walked away. Three minutes later, John Dillinger was dead.
The life of crime has one of two ends, death, or prison, or both. John Dillinger found this out, so did Bonnie and Clyde. This and the Highwaymen, great movies.
Interesting! Because Billy - a woman - was the only person who actually stood by his side until the end and didn't sell him out no matter what they held against her head. About the Romanian girl, when the feds blackmail you to hand in a criminal or find yourself back on a ship to Romania (not the place to be in the 1930s), any person or gender would've broken! (Not so) Fun fact: They didn't keep their promise and deported her anyway! Most importantly, Dillinger knew he was done at that point (least of all after literally checking the files in the department). His entire crew was dead and the feds obviously could only get to him with the help of the Romanian "flat mate", whom he also knew was in a delicate position - The man wasn't an idiot! What he wanted was to die on his own terms, thus the final movie night with a great gangster movie.
the fact that the gman felt the fear and danger of being face to face with him when he look in his eyes is enough to lower his weapon is a true meaning of a fearful man and also how melvin wasn't able to pull the trigger is mind blowing
You know what is really disturbing? Quite a few eyewitnesses claimed Dillinger did not pull a gun. It was said he was found with the gun beside his right hand. Dillinger was left handed.
Had you been paying attention you're have noticed Depp shoots right throughout the entire movie. There are people who are opposite handed when it comes to shooting, playing pool, batting. Feel better now?
Most beautiful and proffesional shoot of the film :) This scene is probably the best scene of all the films i watched ... Its heartbreaking and shocking to see this
My god, my appreciation for this movie just levelled up...the shot at 1:20-1:26, mirrored in Winstead leaving Billie's cell in the final frames of the film...
What's so great is the use of real locations, the actual jails he broke out of, the natural lighting and ambiance that is created with using the camera setup Mann in his later years has been so closely connected with. It gave the movie a real sense of authenticity, like I was there, seeing what is was really like to live the simple lives of most Americans and what people like Dillinger meant to them. It's because of this that PE has jumped considerably up the list of favorite Mann movies, and this scene in particular with the quiet moments of Purvis standing and watching the cars ride by, fumbling with his cigar and lighter, waiting for his mark - it's just dripping in authenticity and history and I can't take my eyes off of it.
One of the most underrated movies ever. Drops performance is incredible and the rest of the cast is also really good. This final scene is perfect. With the gangster movie he watches, Then the slow motion walk, The amazing theme that plays just tops it off and the overall feel just makes u not want John to die.
Unfortunately, while it's an enjoyable film, it's not a great one. The camerawork lets it down in a few spots (Mann was an occasional operator) and the screenplay is pretty disjointed. I thought Marion Cottilliard was a poor choice for the part of Billy Frechette and I hated Christian Bale. That said, for the most part, it's inoffensive and there are some good performances in it. I can't decide if it's a 6 or 7 out of 10.
TheThirdMan I agree with most of your views but I did think Cristian Bale was okay, he just felt like another actor playing a cop but i think I gave this a 7.
that actually happened when he died. Dillinger was arguably the most famous man in america at the time, and on the run for a year or so, so hearing the gun shot and seeing his dead body would cause quite a stir
@@JWood-fv1qm Yes, it did. According to the book, people were dipping their handkerchiefs in his blood while others were trying to cut off locks of his hair.
@@thethirdman225 It was crazy. When his body was put on display, some women actually showed up in bathing suits. What did they think, that John was going to sit up and admire them? Then again, a lot of women loved John Dillinger.

I can finally say, I just watched Manhattan Melodrama after the longest time, of wanting to see it. All I can say, is it is one Hell of a movie for it's time. But this my view. With the lovely Myrna Loy that she was, and with the setting the movie showed it's so clear. It's a known fact that Dillinger had a Crush on Myrna Loy. And to be honest for the person Dillinger was, this very much was the perfect movie for him to see before he was gunned down. It fits him very precisely. For those who have never seen it your missing out. Both movies Manhattan Melodrama and Public Enemies both go hand in hand. And with this powerful scene in Public Enemies and then Manhattan Melodrama the movie is a piece of film history that can never be replicated. I give it 10/10 stars!
No doubt Dillinger was a likeable character. The bad guy women want to be with and men want to be. That all being said, he was still a bad guy. I actually read in this thread somebody saying he wasn't a bad guy cause he "only killed cops", wtf?
If you're saying things like that, you are clearly brainwashed, you probably also like to be democrat, which are the rotten society focused for dividing, practicing racism, like recently was clearly showed when Kanye West visited President Of The United States. Am i right? :)
@Alex Davila yeah well then this same notion of persecution should apply to the wealthy killers of government's world wide who sit behind a desk to order many dead in a seconds notice .cowards & killers everywhere money lies.only true men of intergrity can stand proudly with their sins in front & not shy away & also accept their destiny cause atleast they were truly free.
Johnny Depp , such a brilliant actor, his work in each movie he makes , speaks for itself ……. So where’s his’s Oscar????? Each movie , just about , that Depp does is a masterpiece. His range is unreal going from Finding Neverland to Public Enemies , brilliant , brilliant actor hands down.
Yesssssss, was thinking the same thing, similar to that. But a lot of movies tend to go for this similar theme. The movie ' The King' the escape scene in Shawshank redemption (for like 5 seconds when hes crawling through the tunnel he made) etc and theres certainly some others.
Nope, Dillinger was a murderer with fake morals simply to get the public onside. Even the movie makes clear that he didnt care about the publiv and yet bathed in the fame they permitted him.
this movie is the most accurate inaccurate film I've seen. Timeline is all messed up and there's many other inaccuracies, that being said, no one has or ever will play Dillinger better than Johnny Depp. The film was handled with a spirit of the time and the story of the Terror Gang. I liked it. And damn is Stephen Lang a boss or what in this scene
Yes, quite a flawed film. Epic attention to detail in some spots and very sloppy in others. Patchy acting. Some great performances (Stephen Lang) and some rubbish ones (Christian Bale). Very disjointed screenplay and some odd camerawork. Enjoyable though.
Nobody else can play villian badasses like Gellert Grindelwald jack sparrow John Dillinger James whitey bolger Barnabas collins Donnie brasco and sweeney Todd like king badass John Christopher Depp Jr
Not sure what proper words to say this but here's a shot: Its awe interesting to know this is exactly (in regards to the movie flick) what the real John Dillinger watched right before his death that very night. Almost like a saluting farewell quote from the actor Gable to Dillinger as he met his inevitable fate moments later that night.
That southern law man was no joke. He wasn't after some glorious shootout that every videogame playing person in America now thinks they could handle. He knew exactly who his target was and what he was capable of. Dillinger would've grabbed a pregnant woman for a shield if she was close enough. Shot recklessly into the crowd with no concern whatsoever for who got hit. Cop made the ID had the drop, got his shot and took it. He stepped up and got the job done, period.
@dwone jones Honest question.... can you tell me how or why you think they were cowards? I'm speaking specifically the shooter(s) I mentioned (purvis too if you don't mind)? I could see or understand some POVs that may describe them with less than flatteting terms or glowing opinions of them ..... however "cowards" is one I'm struggling with.... I'll always hear someone with a different perspective out.... never learn anything or grow as a person without trying to gain perspective....
Can we say that this is one of Depps best performances. This movie in general is underrated and all the actors were amazing. One of the best crime movies I've watched.

@Alex Davila yeah well then this same notion of persecution should apply to the wealthy killers of government's world wide who sit behind a desk to order many dead in a seconds notice .cowards & killers everywhere money lies.only true men of intergrity can stand proudly with their sins in front & not shy away & also accept their destiny cause atleast they were truly free.
Johnny Depp's best performance hands down RIP.
No, that would be Black Mass.
Johnny Depp , such a brilliant actor, his work in each movie he makes , speaks for itself ……. So where’s his’s Oscar????? Each movie , just about , that Depp does is a masterpiece. His range is unreal going from Finding Neverland to Public Enemies , brilliant , brilliant actor hands down.

Is other
Its soooo underrated
Depp is the man!
Just sit back and enjoy his genius
Such a good movie. Why does nobody make movies like this anymore? All I see today in TV is some bullshit time consuming netflix series.
Music sounds eerily similar to the fight scene in A Thin Red Line... sounds like death is looming and gives me cold chills.
Yesssssss, was thinking the same thing, similar to that. But a lot of movies tend to go for this similar theme. The movie ' The King' the escape scene in Shawshank redemption (for like 5 seconds when hes crawling through the tunnel he made) etc and theres certainly some others.
Live fast die young
The cops where the real villians the real hero was John
Nope, Dillinger was a murderer with fake morals simply to get the public onside. Even the movie makes clear that he didnt care about the publiv and yet bathed in the fame they permitted him.
This film and those actors was deserving to win the oscar
Agree 👍
Depps roll in the movie was 🔥
Johnny was and is a badass professional actor true iconic legend in the making one of a kind a really genuine evil genius masterpiece Mastermind
only 2 words can explain it...."Fuckin Awesome"
That face when he looked back got me high as fuck 😮
Watching this scene on the same day and time it happened made me feel weird
I want to die like this
priory court ghost rap grime trap and bull shit that's probably the most retarded fucking thing I've ever heard in my life...
Ken Sativa good one, I'm assuming you wish you could be shot through the face and bleed out in the ground? Lol morons today smh
id rather die like that than die on a hospital bed of some shitty disease or old age
Shot in the back?
I just want to die. No matter how.
would love to know what the music is is it part of a longer tune
Name soundtrack 5:30 please?

this movie is the most accurate inaccurate film I've seen. Timeline is all messed up and there's many other inaccuracies, that being said, no one has or ever will play Dillinger better than Johnny Depp. The film was handled with a spirit of the time and the story of the Terror Gang. I liked it. And damn is Stephen Lang a boss or what in this scene
Stephen Lang is great in the whole move. I though he was better than Johnny Depp.
The music is so powerful in this scene 😢
Can’t stop seeing this scene, month after month I’m still here.
Amazing scene with melody of Elliot Goldenthal. No words
a magical ending to a quite flawed film. this is amongst best scenes mann has ever shot
the way gable delivers that line, the way that perfect piece of music hits, the way depp smirks subtly.. this is absolute cinematic perfection.
Yes, quite a flawed film. Epic attention to detail in some spots and very sloppy in others. Patchy acting. Some great performances (Stephen Lang) and some rubbish ones (Christian Bale). Very disjointed screenplay and some odd camerawork. Enjoyable though.
It's Johnny Depp what can we say
Let’s take a toast...bye, bye blackbird
That's why i love cinema
Die the way you live that's the way to go out that's one of the most coolest things I've ever heard in a movie I can't believe I never saw it
Dillinger’s ghost still haunts the Lincoln Park alley.
Damn this scene was so fckn intense. The dude was a badass all the way to the end, what a legend. Anybody know movies with the mc ending up like this?
Heat and The Last of the Mohicans, both also directed by Michael Mann.
Braveheart
Awesome scene, and the music encapsulates it perfectly.
The smile speaks many words
Nobody else can play villian badasses like Gellert Grindelwald jack sparrow John Dillinger James whitey bolger Barnabas collins Donnie brasco and sweeney Todd like king badass John Christopher Depp Jr
michael mann is the greatest
Well, he has his own signature STYLE THATS WHATS MOST IMPORTANT (*fyi/jsy)...
Not sure what proper words to say this but here's a shot: Its awe interesting to know this is exactly (in regards to the movie flick) what the real John Dillinger watched right before his death that very night. Almost like a saluting farewell quote from the actor Gable to Dillinger as he met his inevitable fate moments later that night.
Elliot Goldenthal’s music....Lawd, he’s a genius.
I dont have any, nobody told me anything i just recovering from illness 😭
Bye bye blackbird
That southern law man was no joke. He wasn't after some glorious shootout that every videogame playing person in America now thinks they could handle. He knew exactly who his target was and what he was capable of. Dillinger would've grabbed a pregnant woman for a shield if she was close enough. Shot recklessly into the crowd with no concern whatsoever for who got hit. Cop made the ID had the drop, got his shot and took it. He stepped up and got the job done, period.
@dwone jones
Honest question.... can you tell me how or why you think they were cowards? I'm speaking specifically the shooter(s) I mentioned (purvis too if you don't mind)? I could see or understand some POVs that may describe them with less than flatteting terms or glowing opinions of them ..... however "cowards" is one I'm struggling with....
I'll always hear someone with a different perspective out.... never learn anything or grow as a person without trying to gain perspective....
Killers killing killers. Nothing more nothing less
Why did i actually shed a tear or 2 during this scene? 😤😔
Really loved this movie. Would love to watch it again!!!
The government dealing with all problems like they always do.
I'm pissed that John dillinger had to go out that way.
Every time i see this scene and his smirk. I have to smirk too
5:00 song?? Name of the music pliss
I dont find
I dont find 😭😭😭😭
JD dies
He says "die the way you lived all of a sudden dont drag it out- living legal doesn't mean a thing"? Right
Die the way you live, all of a sudden. Dont drag it out. Living like that doesnt mean a thing.
anyone else come here because your film prof made you watch Manhattan Melodrama in quarantine
I love this scene so much, see a million time
His eyes at 4:00 gave me goosebumps
“Living like that doesn’t mean a thing”. That’s one of the main things I took from this movie
damn.. best movie ive seen so far
