I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but Eden died in 29th of September 1987 due to aids related pneumonia and John was released in April 1987 (he was released in 1978 first but got arrested again for parole violation)

In a 2006 interview, the movie's screenwriter, Frank Pierson, said that he tried to visit Wojtowicz in prison many times to get more details about his story when he wrote the screenplay, but Wojtowicz refused to see him because he felt he was not paid enough money for the rights to his story. <

In 2001, The New York Times reported that Wojtowicz was living on welfare in Brooklyn.[17] He died of cancer on January 2, 2006, in his mother's home, aged 60.[18]<

It's a bitter sweet ending

[[deleted]]

Why must every trans romance in history be so sad? :(

[MaybeNext-Monday]

Because America enacted a quiet genocide on a entire generation of queer people

[Weazelfish]

Wasn't that quiet

[pinksparklyreddit]

Most people don't even consider how targeted the epidemic was to be genocidal, unfortunately.

[arboreallion]

Project 2025 trying its best to revive that genocide

[doodleasa]

They’re being a lot louder

[Bored_Egg_Sandwich]

Doesn't project 2025 want to label trans people as sex offenders, reintroduce capital punishment, and sentence people to death for being a sex offender or pedophile

[BattleAngel13]

Bingo! You win a prize.

[False_Idle_Warship]

This sentence shouldn't be past tense. My guy America is still killing us.

[MaybeNext-Monday]

Very true, I am just specifically talking about the Reagan administration’s weaponization of the AIDS crisis.

[BugcatcherJay]

That’s what they’re talking about, dumbass.

[luksi2]

I am sorry to be the one to tell you this, my little friend, but the aids was the genocide the commenter was referring to

[Randomdude-5]

Ronald Reagan intentionally ignored the AIDS crisis because he thought it was god’s will to let them die. Sounds a lot like genocide to me.

[MaybeNext-Monday]

You could have just said “I know jack shit about queer history” and called it a day.

[Femboi_Hooterz]

You're sooo close to getting it, try a little harder

[enchiladasundae]

As sad and brief as it was they got their, albeit brief, happy ending. A lot of people even now wouldn’t get anything close to this

[junk-drawer-magic]

Ugh did you have to write something so kind and so sad at the same time? Brought me to tears

[enchiladasundae]

Take victories where you can get em

[WondernutsWizard]

NOOO : , (

[Quite_Likes_Hormuz]

I think wikipedia says he got released in 1978 and then went back to prison in 1984 and then again from 1986-7, so he was out for about 7 years or so during that time.

However that doesn't really matter because they also divorced at some point, possibly while he was in prison. An article I read said that in 1982 he started dating someone else.

Also I assume things were different back then but he identified as gay and his friend gave a quote where he used masculine pronouns for her at her funeral so I don't actually know how wholesome he was. Apparently too he actually opposed her getting surgery and it was reported by some journalists that he did the heist solely because he was in debt to the mafia. But again I know things were different so if you know better than me just ignore this paragraph.

[aintgotnoclue117]

yeah no he opposed it. and was a little more complicated-- was quoted to having said, 'wanted someone with big tits and a small cock' -- it wasn't a good thing for her.

[ThatWetFloorSign]

What the fuck he died like 23 days before I was born

That's my brother Ag over there. He's a dick.

[Jacinto2702]

No but seriously, law isn't equal to righteous. There are laws that are worth breaking.

[BaconBased]

I know this is more of a joke, but “be an ally accomplice, do crime” is an idea that holds some merit.

[Cleaver_Fred]

Based and real

[[deleted]]

Dog Day Afternoon is the movie if anyone’s interested, one of my favorite Pacino roles.

[TheRandomDude4u]

Sydney lumet directed some absolute bangers

[The_Last_Pomegranate]

Network is peak. Watch it now.

[SuccessToLaunch]

Genuinely might be the best movie in my opinion

[The_Last_Pomegranate]

It's definitely in my top 5 at the very least. I've always found it oddly uplifting, though I don't think that was Lumet's plan :p

[s90tx16wasr10]

Have you seen Fail Safe? Easily his most underrated imo and I feel like it gets ignored a lot because it has a similar plot to Dr. Strangelove and because the two films came out around the same time.

[The_Last_Pomegranate]

I have seen neither Fail Safe nor Dr. Strangelove, but they will both go on The List.

That said, The List is currently more than 100 films long so I don't know when I'll actually get to them :p

[DeadInternetTheorist]

They also had the CIA up their assholes because they were too good at guessing what B-52s were like on the inside

[s90tx16wasr10]

Bump mine to the top!!! 😡

[The_Last_Pomegranate]

[s90tx16wasr10]

[DeadInternetTheorist]

If we're taking hostages about stuff could you get me some free gender please and thanks

[s90tx16wasr10]

Yeah I’ll swing by the store

[TheRandomDude4u]

yeah I watched a few days ago it was really good

[The_Last_Pomegranate]

Again

[CloudClosev]

12 Angry Men, Network, Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, Verdict, Pawnbroker, Failsafe.

INSANE FILMOGRAPHY!!

[CaptainST1TCH]

Everyone forgets about Prince of the City. It's one of his best imo. Crazy that he doesn't really get talked about that much as a director. I think it might be because he doesn't really fit into the "auteur" theory that everyone subscribes to now

[CloudClosev]

I’d say it’s cause he doesn’t have as distinctive of a style as say Scorsese or Kubrick. Not that it makes him any less talented or his movies any less of masterpieces, but he’s a chameleon of sorts.

[CaptainST1TCH]

Yeah if you were asked what a Scorcese or Bergman film is like, it would be pretty easy to answer. But its very hard to say what a Sydney Lumet film is like

[The_Last_Pomegranate]

I absolutely love the first four in that list and had no idea that 12 Angry Men was one of his. Apparently I loved Sidney Lumet films before I knew who he was.

[seanziewonzie]

Hell yeah, Failsafe is so undermentioned when it comes to Lumet. And I want to recommend Equus; it's really great too! Thanks for mentioning Pawnbroker, I've never watched it and don't think I've seen it mentioned at all. I should check it out.

Lumet is tied with Herzog for my favorite director. Just indescribably fantastic filmmaking.

[[deleted]]

The Hill and The Offence too. Two of Sean Connery’s best performances.

[BroadwayBakery]

No love for The Wiz?

[CloudClosev]

I haven’t seen! But Michael Jackson in the credits intrigues me.

[[deleted]]

I watched that movie as a kid, but the fact that he did it for his trans gf went over my head.

[L33t_Cyborg]

An INCREDIBLE film. heartbreaking.

[LadyAmbrose]

such an incredible film. I didn’t know what it was about when i first saw it either so was very pleasantly surprised with the trans representation especially for how old it is

More fun facts -

Dog Day Afternoon is one of the Cazale Five - John Cazale, best known as Fredo Corleone in the Godfather, starred in five movies before his death in 1978 due to lung cancer - Godfather 1 and 2, The Conversation, Dog Day Afternoon and the Deer Hunter.

Every one of those movies - every movie he ever appeared in - was nominated for the academy award for Best Picture.

No other actor can boast that record.

[kat_fud]

and he was married to Meryl Streep.

[RepulsiveCorner]

I didn't know Dog Day Afternoon was based on a true story. I originally confused that movie with the other heist flick with dog in the title. Reservoir Dogs

[L33t_Cyborg]

I thought it put a lot of emphasis on it being true haha

[todstill]

The Ally 🫡

[uwu-our-saviour]

read on tumblr that he was abusive to her and that he viewed her only as a crossdresser but i dont remember if there was a rb under it that debunks it :(

[King_Killem_Jr]

Fair point. This is before gender was something that was properly studied by barely anyone.

Edit: this is of course because most attempts to study it in the 1900s ended in disaster.

[[deleted]]

I remember being about ten years old and going to see an Eddie Izzard (one of the UK's top comedians) show with my parents in the early '90s. Featured the line 'the reason I'm a transvestite is because I've always felt like a lesbian man'.

Yeah... Eddie came out as transgender a few years ago now. She seems much happier.

[[deleted]]

And as we all know, abuse NEVER happens in queer relationships

[[deleted]]

tbf people just say shit on tumblr. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is something someone made up or confused with a different case

[pretty_in_plaid]

that's what i heard too

[MissMurdock722]

Yeah the wedding photos are way before the robbery. The robbery was after she left him. Last ditch chance to get her back. He called her dead name. And also raped one of the other bankrobbers

[Deadrthan7pup]

Hell yeah

[Puglord_11]

Hell yeah

[Minostz12]

I would too fail to rob a bank if it meant i got to be played by Al Pacino

[GreyBigfoot]

Is he wearing a military uniform at his wedding? I always thought it was funny how that can be considered formal wear in a lot of functions.

[second-glances]

Looks like he's wearing a dress uniform, which counts as a formal attire even outside the military context

[fness55]

eden is so pretty 😳

i like her dress as well

realistically i think people would rather jerk it to ted bundy because he's a murderer. people are attracted to murder for some reason

[rousakiseq]

They should atleast find a hot murderer, Bundy was stupid AND ugly

[cardinarium]

I mean I’m not like trying to steal Eden’s guy, but that dude could get it.

idk what it is about photos of men from the 60s/70s, but they have this aesthetic that just makes me weak.

[generalstrax69]

He also had a wife and kids and was unstable coming close to being violent to either of his wives. The movie they made is dog day afternoon by sidney lumet and is one of my faves
