    I wouldn't ask because I don’t see a fundamental difference between those who trade in theft and those who trade in begging. Both of them withdraw funds from other people's pockets just in different but equally immoral and undeserved way.

    If you had to choose which would you rather be, a beggar or a thief?

    Beggar.

    And I would sleep in a large ceramic jar in the town square.

    A thief.

    To me "обман на доверии" practiced by the beggars is one of the worst crimes.

    You are bigger man than me, it would be hard for me to beg. It takes big balls to beg. I'm with Arsen in this, life of a thief is much better.

    I've not seen that film, and actually I've never even heard of it, which is kinda surprising, as -- if I may toot my own horn -- I do know quite lot about films. But now I'm ofc going to watch it.

    Also, Bilbo Baggins was a thief, so thief can't possibly be such sinister profession everyone makes it out to be.

    In all seriousness, I would happily urge you to watch it.

    Mann is perhaps my favorite director; the soundtrack is by Tangerine Dream; and Caan is, by my light, the most underrated actor of his generation.
