Fascinating life story, but as the other commenter mentioned, there are some serious ethical quandaries with glorifying this character. Especially, in my mind, because he seems to be only concerned with money and not “social justice,” I.e. Robin Hood. The article mentioned a number of other heist movies but conspicuously left out The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, which is an amazing film that delves into the complexities of why criminals are popular. I really can’t recommend that movie enough. Otherwise, as a big fan of heist films, I think this is why I always appreciated the Ocean’s series. No one is killed (or even injured) and the heists are conducted through mechanical and social trickery, not violence.
