Bonnie Klein, two lost sons

I can't remember the first time I saw the introduction to "Bonnie and Klein", but I finally finished reading it today. It was released in 1967. An important point is that in the late 1960s, American films had just experienced the competition of television in the 1950s and 1960s, the investigation of non-American activities that began in 1947, and the antitrust laws and the new audience at that time. Hollywood appeared, and this film is a typical new Hollywood film (it is no longer recorded in the studio, but the reality; the characters are no longer the superficial counterculture before, but they are still in line with the mainstream cultural concept of the setting, in other words, The ending of old Hollywood films is still based on the so-called justice aspect of law and morality, while the characters in new Hollywood are completely opposed to mainstream culture, and the film's attitude towards national justice and law is condemned. For example, the two people in the film, they have no intention of Hurt others, they only target the indifferent and inhumane national law-enforcement group) The film is also a road movie, Klein has a criminal record. Clean up; it can be said that the two have the same mental state (so Klein can see Bonnie's heart at a glance, both of them are deeply oppressed by society and trapped in the gap between their arrogant heart and cruel reality), but It can also be said that the two have different visions for their future life (after both of them were injured and healed, Bonnie asked Klein what he wanted to do if he could change all this, Klein still simply wanted to live in a place no one knew. Local do the same thing: rob a bank, Bonnie quietly doesn't speak)

Looking at the two protagonists in the film is like seeing two people who were forced to get lost and were forced to change by the so-called righteous people when they were looking for a way out. As an audience, I was powerless and wondered if I sometimes fell into my own beautiful ideals. In the gap with reality (different times, we are definitely no longer the social background where the mainstream culture of the protagonist is worthy of rebellion, but more of a contradiction between our own abilities and social expectations) (My brain is not clear now, It should be nonsense??)

I feel that I am attracted to the characters in the film, and the language of the film is ignored by me (maybe I am not sharp...)...

    If there is indeed some energy to absorb the French New Wave, but this comparison highlights the fact that most American films cannot escape the burden of identity and politics, and it always needs too much background (screenplay) to support this The story of "There is no tomorrow", even "We rob bank" is more like a political slogan... But I have to admit that there are still some beautiful moments - old newspapers fluttering in the fields or the shock of pure clip bullets, Films did look brilliant in the dead of old Hollywood, but now I'd probably rather go back to Nicholas Ray and Fritz Lang to find love back.

    It's been 67 years since the movie, and it's another work that has influenced later generations. PS: The clothes in Faye Dunaway are so classic, beret + V-neck sweater + skirt, is the real Clyde bisexual? I'd love to see it if I have the chance to go to America.

Bonnie and Clyde quotes

  • [Blanche wants a cut of the loot]

    Blanche Barrow: Well why not? I earned my share same as everybody. Well, I coulda got killed same as everybody. And I'm wanted by the law same as everybody... I'm a nervous wreck and that's the truth. I have to take sass from Miss Bonnie Parker all the time. I deserve mine.

  • Bonnie Parker: [reading her poem] You've heard the story of Jesse James / Of how he lived and died / If you're still in need / Of something to read / Here's the story of Bonnie and Clyde. / Now Bonnie and Clyde are the Barrow gang / I'm sure you all have read / How they rob and steal / And those who squeal / Are usually found dyin' or dead. / They call them cold-hearted killers / They say they are heartless and mean / But I say this with pride / That I once knew Clyde / When he was honest and upright and clean. / But the laws fooled around / Kept takin' him down / And lockin' him up in a cell / Till he said to me: "I'll never be free / So I'll meet a few of them in Hell." / If a policeman is killed in Dallas / And they have no clue to guide / If they can't find a fiend / They just wipe their slate clean / And hang it on Bonnie and Clyde / If they try to act like citizens / And rent them a nice little flat / About the third night / They're invited to fight / By a sub-guns' rat-a-tat-tat. / Some day, they'll go down together / They'll bury them side by side / To a few, it'll be grief / To the law, a relief / But it's death for Bonnie and Clyde.
