The Heist of the Century - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
Real Araujo's Involvement
The fact that the actual mastermind wrote the script is a meta-layer of the film, reinforcing the theme of the heist as a "work of art" that he is now curating for the screen.
Bank Location
The film meticulously recreates the Banco Río in Acassuso, and the exterior shots emphasize the "barrio de ricachones" (rich neighborhood) context essential to the thieves' moral justification.
