Angels With Dirty Faces (1938)
I watched Angels With Dirty Faces for the first time last year and it was the film that made me fall in love with the world of Hollywood's Golden Age.
Rocky Sullivan (James Cagney) has just served 3 years in prison. Now he's out he is looking for the $100,000 that James Frazier (Bogie) promised him. Will he be able to collect or will he be swimming with the fishes?
Cagney is just a powerhouse in this film and I am always rooting for his character to the end. I also believe that the ending makes sense in the context of the Hays Code and I actually adore its ambiguity.
Sometimes, as much as we naturally rally against the Hays Code, it's also possible that these types of constraints can end up benefitting a piece of creative work, and if the film is as great as "Angels With Dirty Faces", they may foster greater creativity. In this instance I'd struggle to imagine that hauting ending any other way. Did he fake it for the kids or did he finally crumble confronted his own fate? In my mind he's faking it, but the doubt is always there. That scene is so beautifully shot and then we have the actual final scene as the kids ascend to Heaven led by Father Connolly... but does Rocky go there too?
A 10/10 film. And surely one of the most influential performances in the history of cinema.

I sometimes get freaked out by how I can feel/look/be in different places/times - it makes my neurospicy brain melt a little. But then I think of things like this. We're all onions made of layers; I'm not the best at cosplaying human but I do my best; after all, all the world's a stage...
As a general thing, Iโ€™ve always been drawn to characters who appear to be one thing on the surface, but are actually something else underneath
