Premium Episode 66 - Paranoiac Films 9: Michael Mann’s Heat and the Real-Life Neil McCauley, José Vigoa, pt. 1
Manage episode 420193947 series 2949117
[originally published on Patreon Aug 10, 2023]
Today I discuss the seminal 1995 film Heat, it's plot, the "dudes rock" factor, and the philosophical themes of the film.
Then I discuss a real-life parallel to the de Niro character from the film. Not the actual real-life Chicago criminal Neil McCauley, but the story of José Vigoa. Vigoa was many things: a Cuban, a commando. a Marielito, a drug kingpin, a family man, and a heist man. There are two more episodes so prepare for some twists and turns.
