1967 Directed by Arthur Penn
Bonnie and Clyde is based on the true stories of the gangster pair Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow who in the 1930s began robbing banks in U.S. cities until they were eventually killed. The film is a major landmark in the aesthetic movement known as the New Hollywood.
i want a remake of this starring rosamund pike and the leading actor of her choice. i trust her judgement more than my own
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…
Acho interessante porque é um filme que reflete bem uma transição de épocas do gênero de crime. Aqui, sai toda a carga atmosférica do noir para uma construção do suspense baseado nas encenações (em conjunto com a montagem sempreentrecortando) e nas situações dramáticas.
Aliás, é diferenciado como o longa usa toda sua primeira hora para simplesmente construir sua dramaticidade em cima das próprias cenas de assalto, sempre demonstrando a continuidade de seus acontecimentos. Apesar de sua segunda metade ser baseada em uma relação mais direta de perseguição - algo que parece ter influenciado o gênero de ação nos anos 70 e 80 -, ele se utiliza de toda essa construção dramática para impulsionar os conflitos dos seus personagens.
Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway making history,
1º they were amazing in this movies playing Bonnie and Clyde, nice movie i really recommend,
2º I`ve learned that it was the first movie that shows people being shot completly, more graphic and also the last cene was polemic because of that,
3º They gave to LA La LAnd in 2017 the Oscar of The Best PIcture,. but actually it was Moon Light the winer, :)
i was so tired while watching this i don't really know what happened but even if i did i'd be confused
how do one even write reviews for one of the most iconic film in history of cinema? to be honest, it does get a bit boring sometimes but you can’t not appreciate this movie. also, THAT ENDING!!! obviously we all know how it’s going to end but damn.
Se o cinema moderno francês, principalmente com a vinda de Acossado e da Nouvelle Vague, influiu de uma liberdade estética para se fazer filmes, o cinema moderno americano surgiu da liberdade temática e do desprendimento do moralismo da censura vigente, sendo Bonnie e Clyde um dos principais filmes que origina essa nova fase do cinema americano, que em suma é isto, um filme muito mais importante para os EUA do que numa escala global.
É a inauguração de um filme que quer ter como entretenimento o tiroteio, o roubo e o amor perigoso, sem necessitar de um moralismo que incrimine seus personagens, pelo contrário, o segmento do pai de C.W. Moss (que satiriza um falso moralismo da figura que briga…
Don't sell that cow!
Phenomenal film. Nothing better than seeing Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway and Gene Hackman make motion picture history. They should play this on the big screen every month. Too many incredible scenes for me to talk about, but that last one sent me in a cold sweat. One of my new all time favorites films.
