Noir-November Challenge! Movie #31
Based loosely on the real life gangsters Bonnie and Clyde!
Sultry Faye Dunaway lights up the screen with her larger than life rendition of the character Bonnie Parker! Her animal magnetism cannot be contained within the big screen any more than you can keep the dough inside the Pillsbury container once you cracked it and the dough burst through the seam! The intimate close up shots of this vivacious beauty were pure eye candy!
Warren Beatty effervescent rendition of Clyde Barrow was equally amazing! Together they were hands down one of the most charismatic and tragedy bound anti hero couples ever to grace the big screen!
Stellar performances by fellow co-stars Michael J. Pollard, Gene Hackman,…
We rob banks.
A glorious deluge of ultraviolence, Bonnie and Clyde was uproariously controversial at the time of its release for its undaunted depiction of savagery and depravity. The true story of one of the most notorious criminal duos in history is brought larger than life through two exquisite performances from Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. Their whirlwind relationship, sparked in an instant and never once slowing down, tore all across the central United States as they found themselves on a constant quest for untold riches. Together with Clyde's brother Buck (played by a brilliant Gene Hackman in an early career role) and his wife, along with a hapless tagalong who barely receives any depth or development, they formed the…
My favourite gag in any old cartoon, is whenever a character got repeatedly shot, appeared unhurt, then proceed to drink from a beverage and have all the liquid leak out from the multitude of holes.
Priceless. Had me in stitches every time.
So really, I see nothing here but a wasted opportunity.
They say pictures don't lie, but the truth is they can lie as bad as anybody, including Clyde Barrow, who seduces Bonnie Parker with the promise of an exciting life full of sex, wealth, and danger (I guess 1 out of 3 ain't bad). That theme of unfulfilled promise runs deep - take a look at the hilarious sequence with Gene Wilder's Eugene and his girlfriend temporarily taking up with the gang, and the way it ends on a grim anti-punchline that only Bonnie, cursed by foresight, really understands.
The movie's commercial and generic promises ultimately DO get filled, though, with plenty of violent shootouts and chases, including the final one that gives the audience more than they could ever…
Its graphic violence and exploration of societal taboos made “Bonnie and Clyde” one of the most controversial but also most influential movies of its time. Together with films like “The Graduate” and “Easy Rider”, it paved the way for the New Hollywood movement of the 70s, and this fact alone makes it as must-see for movie buffs.
“Bonnie and Clyde” lives from the charm, charisma, and outstanding chemistry of Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway as the eponymous iconic criminal couple. They make the film. They both have engaging character arcs and while the film doesn´t glamourizes their actions, you still feel for them. The supporting cast is great, as well, especially Gene Hackman is a scene stealer.
Other highlights of the film include the stunning cinematography, great sets, exciting action, fantastic pacing, surprisingly tender and romantic moments, and the legendary ending scene.
All in all, “Bonnie and Clyde” is a fun ride from beginning to end.
As soon as it begins you can see how this was a major game changer for popular film, as that shot of Faye Dunaway's lips is so striking and sensual it's unreal. Even before that, the opening credits are fascinating in the tone that they set, with the names fading to a blood red, already foreshadowing the characters' grisly end.
While everyone is great in this, I especially loved Dunaway's performance. From her introduction she shows you everything you need to know about this character - alone in her room, she's trapped and unable to be her true self. Life in the country with her mother is prison for her, and we of course see her framed through the bars…
These two are hot to trot, but toxic as hell. If they weren’t gunned down this would probably have had a The Notebook ending. Faye Dunaway is downright stupid foxy. This movie is painfully in need of a score; more than the occasional banjo plucking. That shootout though
53 years old and the ending is still jarring, horrifying, and perfect. The first of New Hollywood that ended up giving us some of the best.
