In this world where everything can be "metaverse", although I haven't even used 5G, I want to barely rub its heat.
Today, I will introduce you to the "center of the universe" that I have recently been obsessed with- the Tongliao universe. If you are also a regular customer of Zhihu and Station B, and happen to like history, then you must have heard the name of this historical kool: Little John Khan.
Passed down, Tongliao Khan is actually not in Tongliao!
This man, with his own strength (high-quality historical popular science videos), turned his hometown Tongliao into a well-known Internet celebrity city in the virtual world, and indeed shouldered the prestige of "the only Khan of Tongliao".
In the vast Tongliao universe, my favorite is the "Hardcore Cruel Man" series. Here, you can meet the crooks of the century who "sold" the Eiffel Tower in Paris three times, the fans of the film who chased the stars to the point of running to assassinate President Reagan, and the "Emperor of the Ages" who was loved by the people, the American Emperor Norton I...
After all, Tongliao Khan did not give me money to sell advertisements, so I will no longer narrate, if you are interested, please search on the B station. But based on my respect for Khan, today I hereby sincerely provide a new issue of "hardcore ruthless" material.
Even the design poster is ready! (Of course this is done by the film side).
I've thought of the title, and the name is called - three sentences, so you can't wait to open this movie.
The first sentence: "Based on real people and real events." ”
Second sentence: "Adapted from the 2006 Argentine bank robbery, it is considered one of the most famous and clever bank robberies in history." ”
The third sentence: "The mastermind of the prototype case is the screenwriter of this movie." ”
This movie is "Operation Extreme Theft", which has landed in theaters Chinese mainland at the end of October this year.
In the category of crime comedy films, "Extreme Theft Action" can only be said to be fruitless, plus it is a small language film, so I ran all over Guangzhou a few days ago to find the only theater that is still releasing this movie.
But if Operation Extreme Steals has launched major video platforms, then I highly recommend that you buy popcorn, coke, snacks, and enjoy these two hours of weekend entertainment.
Although "Operation Extreme Thief" is just an ordinary entertainment movie, it is a "masterpiece of art" that completely fulfills the truth that "art comes from life, and life is always higher than art".
For example, this kind of logical and strange golden sentence. / Operation Mega Thieves
No weapons of mass destruction were used, no casualties were inflicted, and even the kidnappers graciously celebrated the hostage-taking birthday. These pompous movie plots are all real events that have been broadcast live on television. And reality is much more exciting than movies.
On the afternoon of January 13, 2006, Argentines sat in front of the television to watch the entire process of the robbery at banco Río, witnessing from beginning to end how the six gang members "teased" the police and then fled.
Weeks after the case, the Argentine police still had no clue about their arrest. In the end, the criminal gang was arrested because the wife of one of the criminals, Beto, took the initiative to go to the police station to report them in order to retaliate for her husband's cheating.
On the list of hardcore events in life: Let the kidnappers celebrate your birthday.
Although, according to Argentine police statistics, the riverbank lost nearly $20 million in cash and valuables, and until now only a very small part has been recovered. In contrast, the sentences of the 6 criminals were incredibly "light": the longest sentence was the cheating scumbag Betto, who was sentenced to 8 years; the main culprit, Fernando, was sentenced to 1 year and 7 months.
And the reason why we can see this movie is to "thank" the main culprit Fernando. My exact words: "Committing such a perfect crime and never getting the chance to be praised for it is a bit like having a Picasso (work) that cannot be shown."
Before the preparation of the film, there were actually 3 related books published, but because Fernando was not satisfied with the content of the books and felt that it was far from the real experience, he decided to go out on his own - he invested and became one of the main creators of "Operation Extreme Theft", and also served as a screenwriter for the film.
It is reasonable to suspect that there are so many beautiful storyboards in the film, which is the mastermind Fernando in order to highlight his "artist temperament". / Operation Mega Thieves
In Argentina, Fernando became household names as folk heroes. The engineer on the team, "Martian", Borst, said in an interview that he did not even receive any insults and reprimands after he was released from prison, but many people congratulated him on returning to normal life. "It's confusing, I know stealing is wrong, but they congratulate me."
After watching the movie, I found an interview with the March 2020 issue of GQ magazine, "The Great Buenos Aires Bank Heist" (link at the end of the article). The reporter interviewed Fernando and 5 of them (one of the members, Antonio, died in a car accident two years after he was released from prison) and told more details outside the film.
Why is it that making a terrible mistake can still be welcomed by the people, and even become a contemporary Robin Hood? You can find the answer in this interview.
Actually, I think the movie has made it clear enough. After they escaped in the movie, they left 4 toy guns neatly arranged on the ground, and a note attached to the railing above these toy guns.
"In the rich district, there are no weapons or resentments, only money, no love."
However, for the sake of great love in the world, I have to emphasize in the end: Bao, this is not interesting to learn!!!
