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…
Bonnie taking a picture with a cigar in her mouth and a gun in her hand is my animal spirit.
I’m very aware of creative license but can’t we have a little historical accuracy here please? Like I would give this an extra half star if Bonnie’s hair was period accurate.
This movie is such a fun ride, Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty have a lot of chemistry and a lot of interesting side characters like Gene Hackman and even Gene Wilder.
The scene where Clyde robs a bank thats no longer a bank and now has no money is adorable. He forces the bank teller to explain this to Bonnie. It’s almost as if he can’t get an erection and needs an excuse for his embarrassment
Intro to Film History - Film #13
Wooow, I had a total blast with this one. The film does admittedly jump into Bonnie and Clyde’s relationship rather quickly, but Beatty and Dunaway have enough dynamite chemistry to sell it and keep you engaged regardless. It dips its toes into so many genres (thriller, comedy, romance) and pulls off this tonal balance spectacularly in my opinion. The plot does meander a bit, but this feels true to the spontaneity of the real life Bonnie and Clyde’s crime sprees. I really bought into the tragic journey of these two and loved how Beatty and Dunaway sold their more intimate, internal struggles as well. The editing was particularly remarkable, especially in the film’s plentiful chase sequences and that explosive climax. Definitely one of the most entertaining films we’ve watched all semester.
C'est la vieille mère de Bonnie qui avait vu le plus clair dans tout ça quand elle dit à Clyde qu'il n'a plus le luxe de s'installer nulle part. Qu'ils sont condamnés à fuir pour le restant de leur vie...
Et ma foi du bon dieu que Faye Dunaway était d'une beauté inouïe !
