I kinda realised that after watching Ocean's Twelve DVD this afternoon.
Granted, it's a not-so-good sequel to Ocean's Eleven but still, the movie is an epitome of cool and there's nothing quite so beautiful as a clever criminal plan isn't it?
I mean, those well-thought-through, well-rehearsed well-executed plans... It's like an art form unto itself can? haha.. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand. I don't know, but there is just something about it that doesn't compare with everyday life.
And sure, a good idea is a good idea, even a legal one, and I would take my hat off to any entrepreneur who can make a million bucks out of a new way to open a jar of sardines, but it is just not in the same league of brilliance as a good criminal idea isn't it?
Because besides brains and imagination, which you need for any idea, you need one other vital ingredient for your criminal idea- Balls, big balls...
And THAT makes all the difference.
( And oh, more importantly, the mark of a truly great plan (and this is where Danny Ocean and his crew suceeds) is that you have to get away with it. Anything less and you might as well just walk into POSB bank with a water pistol...)
