As the iconic film "Bonnie and Clyde" transitioning from classic Hollywood to new Hollywood movies, its development and changes can be clearly seen. Abandoning the mode of a single type of film, this film integrates various types such as road films, western films, police and bandit films, etc., so that the genre of classical Hollywood films is eliminated, so the themes contained are more colorful.
In terms of structure, the dramatic structure with obvious causal relationship and the strong contradictions and conflicts are abandoned, but accompanied by the action line of the protagonist, the story is naturally told, which enhances the visibility.
In addition, in the shaping of characters, it also breaks the heroic conventions of the past: usually the heroes who save the world become villains, they rob banks, kill people, but the image of the police becomes smeared. In the film, Bonnie and Clyde never rob ordinary people of money, and they also help some poor people on the road, which makes people think about how chaotic the social environment at that time was, so that robbers are more loved by the people than the police. .
In short, the breakthrough of this film has already become a turning point in the history of American film, paving the way for the prosperity of new Hollywood films.
