The Public Enemy


This movie was hard to watch. I just new they were going to die and kept waiting for it to happen, similar to Bonnie and Clyde, they should have stopped while they were ahead. the end credits message was confusing to me, was this movie put out as more of a warning? It was interesting to see the development of the two boys. How they went from troubled little boys stealing watches and selling them to the black market to bootlegging alcohol, ripping money, slapping women, and killing people like its like putting out a cigarette. it was confusing when Matt got shot, and Tom was hiding behind a building, he was almost smiling, it was creepy with his thin eyebrows, was he smiling that he did not get shot, or that he had something to do with Matt getting shot. and at the end when Tom storms into the building that all those men were walking into, we hear a lot of shots and then he comes out hurt. what was this little meeting? was it the mob meeting? why did he go in and shoot them?was he shooting for Matt? or did he feel set up having his gun and money taken away?
