Bonnie and Clyde [13]

This movie left me in tears, they weren’t such bad people.. and to die such a way. Guess I’m looking at it differently because I really got the feel of what good people they were, they wanted good things, they just went about it stupidly. They’re nice to people, if they’re robbing a bank, they won’t steal your money, if they ask for something they do it nicely. I watch out for the little things, and on screen they seem greater, I just feel bad that they’re wave of crime ended how it did. They crave to not be on the run, Bonnie wants to see her family and start a life where she doesn’t have to be on the watch out all the time. She changed Clyde, you could tell he wanted that too but he just had a passion for getting money the easy way. He starts off telling her how much of a “loverboy” he isn’t but as the film progresses he holds her hand, makes love to her, and always watches out for her safety.

The camera work and cinematography is so good, the cuts help you get more into the film. You can tell they’re in the great depression, from how the banks are low on cash to the people living in the deserts.

Bonnie meets Clyde when he’s trying to steal her mother’s car. He has no problem stating what he does for a living, and she’s intrigued by him and what he does because she’s so bored with her life. They go along robbing banks innocently until one guy hooks on to the car as they’re getting away and Clyde shoots him. Until then violence was just a scare tactic, you can see how much they change after that. They have less of a respect for human life and laugh about when they’re being chased. They join up with Clyde’s brother and wife, Buck and Blanche, Blanche doesn’t want to life this kind of lifestyle but she’s too wrapped up in Buck to give it up. Everything turns around, Buck ends up dead, Blanche blind, and Bonnie and Clyde in pools of blood, they do survive through it, thanks to their partner C.W.

They’re not so good at covering up their tracks, they always end up in some kind of trouble. Seems they’re about ready to give up this lifestyle, but the law won’t have it. Guess you really pay for what you do, one way or another.
