Dog Day Afternoon, a movie portraying the level of stress that two people experienced and their way of showing the world that enough is enough. Al Pacino plays as Sunny, who, with his friend Sal, decides to rob a bank. Once inside the police respond and a standoff ensues. Although Sunny never wants to hurt anyone, he is pushed to a point where he feels this is the only thing that he can do. Jobless because he is not in a union, married to a man and a woman, and now having to keep a group of trigger-happy police officers at bay, Sunny makes his move and tries to resolve peacefully what he started with force.
I personally loved this movie. I think it really shows the extent of what some people were driven to during this time. The movie also portrays the ignorance of people against gays and also the normality of it. As wrong as Sunny was, I think that many people would have liked to see Sunny go free at the end.
I will definitely watch this again.
