Huge rest

Before the director Arthur Penn, probably no one treated a bandit movie as relaxed and ridiculous. You know that sooner or later, it will be a road of no return, just like "Born Murderer" and "The End of the Wild Flower", the road to the end, flying to the cliff. You think you are just a cold-eyed bystander like the old god, just waiting for 110 minutes to see the end of the scene. But I didn't know when I got into the accident, and Arthur Penn brought a rush to a halt.

Although the whole film began to be mixed with gloom after 65 minutes, the lovers who were kidnapped into the car in a mischievous manner were still telling jokes with them for the first second, and the next second Bonnie asked the man: What do you do? Male answer: It's a funeral home. Suddenly, Bonnie's smile froze like a dark night and drove them out of the car.

Bonnie is a waitress in a small Texas town who thinks her life is as peaceful as stagnant water. She will easily run away with men who are willing to take her away from here. Not Clyde will be any truck driver passing by, or a factory worker. Clyde fell in love with her purely because of the beauty of the blonde. This kind of encounter is as natural and relaxing as the sunshine and sand in Texas. Except for the problem of Clyde's incompetence, everything is perfect for them. When she felt that she saw the god of death all the way, she was so frustrated that she wanted to return to a peaceful life with Clyde. At that time, Clyde's impotence miraculously improved, and then desperately wanted to marry her. There are a lot of details along the way, eating burgers, robbing bankrupt banks, robbing supermarkets, quarreling with Clyde’s brother, etc.~~ are all exaggerations.

Bonnie's last close-up: Suddenly understand why the birds in the forest are frightened and fly. At the moment when the deadline is up, the eyes looking at Clyde are calm, warm and clean and tender.



But the so-called abrupt end is to make the viewer adapt to the comfortable rhythm of rendering and suddenly stop writing. At the last moment, the two of them were laughing and sharing an apple in the car. The car and the car are all honeycombs, and there is no music. After fifteen seconds, the subtitles "THE END" will appear on the black background.


THE END.
I was choked, obviously, not because of the apple.

It is the black screen after the interruption. It represents the ruthlessness of truth and justice. It tells you that no matter how peaceful and beautiful the vision of Bonnie and the others is, they must be obedient and not rebellious.
Everything stopped, the spiritual consciousness that was once was wiped out, and Delete was cleared.
All that was once big but a dead word, the impact of 167 guns + black screen.

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.
