Another good movie is Badlands, based on Charles Starkweather's killing spree.
It sort of has a Bonnie and Clyde thing going because his companion is a teenage girl.

Badlands, IIRC, was quite a bit more disturbing, I think of one point where Sheen's character promised he wasn't going to kill some old guy/ and then shot him several times or something.

Bonnie and Clyde is a very decent film. Faye Dunaway was hot in it.
I loved the Earl Scruggs' music on the chase scenes: Foggy Mountain Breakdown, a Grammy winning song. A LOT of people discovered that they liked banjo music; it was a good break for Earl Scruggs, RIP. |

I remember reading that it was a rather shockingly violent film for the time. Obviously, it's a gangster movie, and a lot of other war movies and westerns were out then, so I always wondered why it was so 'shocking'.
Apparently it was the first film to show the actual result of being shot. As in, in one frame, no cut-away shot. Guy pulls trigger while other guy gets the blood spray. 'Back Then' it was always a quick cut away shot to show the victim gripping his gut and wincing. Once I realized that, yeah, it would be quite dramatic to witness that level of realism for the first time. Most of the other movies were violent, but yeah, guys just fall over, a lot less blood. It set of the grindhouse hyper-violent and gory films of the early 70's. Anyway, great film. And, while not 100% accurate, I really how they did the ending. |

I just watched Bonnie and Clyde a few weeks ago. I didn't like it much, had that who 60s counter-culture anti-hero thing going, making the murdering bankrobbers into romantic rebels and the police who hunted them villains.
The way they treated Frank Hamer was especially disgusting. Hamer was a true hero and not the cowardly fool the film made out. |

Read up on the mechanics of the antihero. |

Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow looked NOTHING like Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. . . . .

Seeing it as a 6 year old, I was in awe of the guy getting shot in the head and living (for a while).

Quoted: Bonnie & Clyde were like old school Natural Born Killers. Yep. My favorite part of the movie is the final scene when they get riddled by Thompsons. (Shoulda been BARs, but Hollywood just loves Tommy Guns.) Fuck Bonnie & Clyde. |

Clyde Barrow was a weasely little homicidal shit. Bonnie was weedy and small. They lived like scum and they died like rabid dogs.
All that movie did was romanticize two people who were better off forgotten as soon as the first shovelful of dirt landed in their faces. |

If only someone had put Captain Hamer on their trail a little sooner...
