I really love how you explore Purvis finding his honour slipping away from him the harder he has to fight to catch Dillinger. It's something only subtly shown in the film as he spends all his on screen time working but I love how you've written him off the job in a moments contemplation.
For me, he maybe wasn't particularly humanized in the movie but here you have managed to craft him into a more tragic, emotive figure. Wonderfully written!
I really look forward to anything else you plan to write for the fandom. Particularly slash, which I have had a serious hankering for the second I left the cinema xD

Thank you kindly, Sapphire! :)

I love the 'behind-the-scenes' stuff. Fanfic is a wonderful vehicle to explore that. :)

Thank you! I think Christian's performance was quiet and understated and left us to fill in what was going on beneath that beautiful, ahem, controlled exterior. ;)

Perhaps it's the difference between Dillinger, who is often seen relaxed in hotels, restaurants etc. and Purvis, who we never see in an environment outside of his office or on the streets hunting criminals that makes him [Purvis] appear (on the surface) another cold, calculated cop. He's certainly a character that one really needs to think about and read between the lines to understand the many layers of his character; which is of course the beauty of Christian's performance =D
...well that and *droooool*
//end ramble
I haven't found any either so you will most likely have the honour of writing the first PE slash fic 8D
Three slash ideas?! *Worships* Can't wait to read them <3
I think it was the super-sexy-tension-filled jail scene that did it...And then the crushing disappointment of going home and trawling the net to find...nothing :(

LOL! I plan to post a gushing entry about Christian and those suits. :)

Yes, we never got to see him relaxed or even mention if he had a family. I know he eventually married and had a son (and might have had more kids, I can't remember, have to check that). I don't know if he was married or had any children at the time of the events of this movie. So we had to go with the Clark Gable of the Bureau at work. Yep, Melvin Purvis was known as the Clark Gable of the whole damned place! ;)

Awesome, I look forward to joining in the gushing! This film reminded me just how much I adore 20s/30s fashion, particularly the men and their suits (and hats, and coats and...). They all look so sophisticated and handsome <333

That's interesting to know about him, I'm not well versed in Purvis's life compared to Dillinger's but I'll definitely get researching :) In the film he does seem very work orientated so I would make the assumption he isn't ( ... )

Oh, yeah! I really do have to get busy on that, and I find men's clothes of the time to be really yummy! :)
The women's clothes are interesting, too. Women were finally freed from restrictive clothing and long hair pinned up on their heads. :) Not that I don't like long hair, but it's nice they had the option of short hair!

The men of the 30s had a lot more class I think ;)
Definitely, it was the beginning of the women's revolution, clothes wise at least; the dresses in particular were so stunning and elegant. I personally adore Bille Frechette's three-dollar dress xD
Gah, the hairstyles were so gorgeous and well styled. Being a woman at the time may not have been much fun but at least the fashion was fabulous xD
I've seen pictures of Melvin and he's not stunningly gorgeous like Christian or even as handsome as Gable, but he must have had considerable charm in person! :)I had noticed that too as well as the fact that he was quite short as well xD But I agree, he must have had something charming about him to make him such a popular ( ... )

Oh, yeah. A gentleman didn't go out of the house without his hat, and he wouldn't go around in his undershirt unless he was at home and it was extremely hot. Of course, Clark Gable put the undershirt industry in a bind when he was seen on-screen without one. ;)

I loved that red dress!

Very true! Women were restricted about a lot of things, but one thing an American woman was expected to do by the '30s, unless you were really old or traditional, was to know how to drive! :)
That gave a lot of women freedom in ways women in other countries didn't have, and even today, there are countries that don't allow it!
