Heat — Η πρώτη μου φορά στον κινηματογράφο

Heat · 1995

I can still remember the robbery and the exchange of gunfire through the streets of Los Angeles. The sound inside that cinema was so immersive that you felt like the bullets were flying right past you.At some point, Nikos couldn't take it anymore. He jumped to his feet and shouted:“WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE WATCHING, GUYS?”The answer came immediately from the back rows:“SIT THE FUCK DOWN, YOU MORONS!”And just like that... order was restored.

And maybe that's what Heat really is.

Not a movie about a cop and a criminal.

But a movie about two men who were so devoted to what they did that, in a way, they became mirrors of each other.

And for me, all of this started on a Friday night, when I was 16 years old, took a bus to Glyfada with my friends and tried to convince a man at the cinema entrance that I was already eighteen.
