Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
Arthur Penne’s “Bonnie and Clyde” is the film that really lets loose violence in Hollywood. It came out in 1967, and is now considered an all time classic. This story is about a bank robbing couple name Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. They terrorize the southwest with their daring and violent crime sprees. This story is actually based on a true event, of two notorious bank robbers (Bonnie and Clyde) who terrorized the southern United States and who have been know to kill at least nine police officers and committed some civilian murders.
Bonnie is bored with her life and really wants adventure. Her wish comes true when she meets the smooth Clyde Barrow. Clyde is fed up with the ongoing Depression and was recently freed from jail. He hoped to remove his troubles in the Depression by robbing banks. Bonnie and Clyde fall in love and go on a crime spree that spans from Oklahoma to Texas. They don’t really want to do any real harm; they just want to have some fun and get away from it all. Pretty soon things get nasty and brutal, and the watchers end up dreading the possibility of the demise of the quite charming and extremely devious Bonnie and Clyde.
Here is a small clip from the movie, enjoy!
