Review:
Pretty darned great glimpse into the lives of Bonnie & Clyde though I should mention I've never really studied either. I have no idea how factual this film is nor did I really care as it's purely entertaining and it felt real regardless. That is of course largely because Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty did such an amazing job in their roles (well everyone did really). The film starts out innocently enough with Clyde meeting Bonnie and wisking her away to a life of excitement and crime. It almost feels like kids daring each other and wanting to impress one another so things get extremely carried away. On that note if you like violence, this should definitely please your pallet, it's shockingly bloody (especially for 1967). I was actually really surprised how much of this film was copied for both Badlands and Natural Born Killers. The cinematography and style were impressive as well, they really helped propell this from a great film to an amazing one. The film is thrilling, fast paced and always entertaining a definite classic deserving of it's reputation.
