Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

shadow_blade-89459 "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967) is a crime action biography about Bonnie Parker, played by Faye Dunaway, and Clyde Barrow, played by Warren Beatty, as they begin their violent crime spree and slightly odd love affair. The introduction between Bonnie and Clyde in this film makes a lot of sense even though it feels a little unfeasible, but after that initial connection, everything falls into place. I personally don't have any major feelings about this film except a great deal of appreciation. It is difficult to fault anything about the storyline if it is an accurate biography, but visually this film is great. For the era that this film was created in, the colors and tone were stupendous. Every color that was portrayed on the screen came across as intended.Traditionally, older films have a heavy feel of "over acting" to help get the point across, but this film was spot on. Though the film isn't without a few detracting flaws, like audio drop offs and bad audio syncing, the acting was strong enough to keep the audience interested. Overall, I really enjoyed this film even if it is not a normal watch for me. I encourage everyone to view it at least once to appreciate a staple that propelled what we watch today.

pdortic Many couples throughout movies, history, and even current day follow in the footsteps of a famous "Bonnie & Clyde" relationship. This movie set the standard for new Hollywood. This action packed movie is a must see. The never ending adventures of these two characters, Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, draws the viewer in to their illegal escapade. They make you love them even against all better judgement as they become enemies of the law.

Wuchak RELEASED IN 1967 and directed by Arthur Penn, "Bonnie and Clyde " stars Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway in the titular roles chronicling the criminal exploits of the pair and their associates from 1932-1934, ending with duo's sudden execution. Michael J. Pollard plays Clyde's main accomplice C.W. Moss while Gene Hackman and Estelle Parsons play Buck & Blanche, Clyde's brother and sister-in-law. Denver Pyle appears as the Texas Ranger who tracks 'em down.The movie sticks pretty close to the facts and is generally serious, yet with an occasionally fun, bumbling tone offset by flashes of fatal violence. Some changes from the real story include… W. D. Jones and Henry Methvin are combined into the character played by Pollard obviously to limit the size of the gang to five for dramatic purposes. The two main actors are way too tall for the parts. Bonnie was barely 5' feet tall and Clyde was only 5'6". In the movie Bonnie (Faye) is 5'7" and Clyde (Beatty) is 6'2". To the film's credit, it shows Clyde walking with a limp and explains why: He needlessly cut off his big toe in prison and seriously injured the other one in order to get out of hard labor. I say needless because he was released early a mere week later. The fact that Barrow was willing to mutilate his body to avoid labor (or to be transferred to another facility, whatever the case) shows how desperate, impulsive and dimwitted he was as a person.Unfortunately, the movie fails to show the stoo-pid accident where Bonnie suffered severe leg wounds after being trapped in a burning vehicle. She never fully recovered and either had to be carried or walked with a limp until her death at the age of 23 (Clyde was 25 when they were executed). Another key crime not shown was the brutal (and unnecessary) shooting of two law enforcement officers by Clyde and W.D. at a dance in Oklahoma, yet the movie shows the gang killing several officers when threatened, so this can be overlooked. I think the reason they omitted this particular early crime was because Penn & gang didn't want to portray Clyde as a vicious murderer so early in the story, which would strip sympathy from viewers.Modern audiences don't realize how shocking "Bonnie and Clyde" was when it was released. Even by 1980 it was still pretty shocking. The script and the actors bring you into the world of the simpleton characters that are initially giddy about their wild times and fame, but over the course of the two years acquire an understandable sense of certain doom. The film starts out slow to establish the main players and the bloody realities of their misguided lifestyle are mainly saved for the last act. Although Dunaway and Beatty are way too tall for the roles, they deliver the goods. Not to mention, Pollard's notable performance as C.W. (W.D. was merely 16 during the crime spree).To balance out the story, I encourage you to see 1992's "Bonnie & Clyde: The True Story," which is another quality version of the real-life crime spree.THE MOVIE RUNS 111 minutes and was shot mostly in east Texas, but also S. California. WRITERS: David Newman & Robert Benton.GRADE: A

Stephen Bird Who says older films can't be absolutely amazing?The age old story of Bonnie and Clyde, heard many different times in many different ways, but this film version is as true to life as any you'll find, sure it's tarted up for screen presence, but isn't everything?What I really liked about the film is is jumps straight into the action, there's very little backstory, only detailed briefly, Clyde Barrow meets Bonnie Parker at the start of the film and away we go. The whole film draws on some of the notorious duos most celebrated capers, piecing together the story from when they first met, to the moment they are shot dead by the police. Faye Dunaway, in her first major role, electrifies as the somewhat erotic Bonnie Parker, she's a villain you just can't bring yourself to hate, she's pretty, she's charming, she has some serious sex appeal..., and as for Warren Beatty, his portrayal of Clyde Barrow is as realistic as it gets, a charming swindler that will melt you with a grin as much as he'll shoot you with a gun.The supporting cast were somewhat passive, but that doesn't matter, as all eyes are on the titular duo..., the Barrow gang as they were called were cool before cool was a thing, could you really call them villains? To me I'm more inclined to consider them anti-heroes; Bonnie and Clyde was one of the first films in my opinion to usher in the New Hollywood era.Things were changing around the mid-late 60's, gone was the Hayes Code, the Golden era had long since past, and Hollywood was looking for something new and exciting, younger talent, younger directors were taking the forefront and ageing stars like John Wayne and James Stewart were being phased out, Bonnie and Clyde along with several other films of the time were breaking the cycle, step forward New Hollywood, and the land of film was going to change forever. Bonnie and Clyde did everything right, and I can't find a thing to fault, so it naturally gets top marks and a round of applause from me, if you haven't seen it, what's wrong with you, I insist you watch.
