Truly Dreadful Film

Great Film overall

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

"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.

Bonnie and Clyde are as notorious a pair as people come. Hollywood's portrayal perfectly captures that, as well as captures their romanticized nature as criminals of the 1930's. This film remains one of the most well known examples of the story of Bonnie and Clyde, as well as one of the earlier known examples of true real story turned Hollywood blockbuster. Bonnie and Clyde were portrayed beautifully (would have been nice if movie Bonnie actually looked like the real Bonnie Parker however), and their story was a thrilling film to see

I enjoyed this films ups and downs and overall think it is a very enjoyable film. This film is quick to the plot and really tries to portray and accurate view of bonnie and Clyde's life. As a fan of gangster films I thought this movie was well acted and directed. The actors are chosen well and the camera seems to be in a good spot most of the time. the sound is also very interesting in this film like the gunshots are noises when driving. Overall I enjoyed this film.

Penn's film, Bonnie and Clyde, opens in a unique way showing the actual history of Bonnie and Clyde to give some background information, which helps the viewer get an idea of what the film is based off of. With it being produced in the era of New Hollywood it allows for a lot more violence, which helps develop Bonnie and Clyde's violent personas as well as their romantic ties. It was a very interesting film because it was based off of real history so it was intriguing to see. The actors playing Bonnie and Clyde did a great job playing the roles of the true criminals. The fast paced story line goes right along with the fast paced robberies and the quick travel from place to place by Bonnie and Clyde.
