Bonnie and Clyde
1967
Directed by Arthur Penn
Netflix sleeve: Serial bank robbers, sometime lovers and folkloric heroes Bonnie Parker
(Faye Dunaway) and Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty) barrel across
Depression-ravaged America on a shooting spree that ends in a deadly
rain of bullets and tragedy. Directed by Arthur Penn, this stylish and
sexy film shattered the mold when it came to crime pictures, layering
comedy onto mayhem and youthful criminality. Gene Wilder makes his
big-screen debut.
Well, that was violent. I mean, I guess it wasn't that violent by today's standards. But, wow, it was kind of violent. You almost want to feel sorry for Bonnie and Clyde at the end, but really, you shouldn't. They killed a lot of people in their crime spree. Kind of a "live by the sword, die by the sword" thing. Except with guns instead of swords. I didn't think it was a bad movie. It's just not one that I'll be watching repeatedly.
