In the 1930s, the American economy was depressed and people's livelihood was withering. Their stories were generated in this context. The story of Bonnie Clyde can be said to be a household name. Bonnie was born in Texas, the western city of Rottweiler.

In 1926, when Bonnie was a child, he was born smart, with excellent grades and good at writing, but his family was poor, which forced him to give up his studies and get married early.

This marriage did not bring her a long family life, and her husband was not a good person. He often caused trouble, fought and fought, and soon he went to prison. After only 3 years, they separated, but until he died, they both took him with him. Wearing her husband's wedding ring...

Clyde was also born in Ellis County, Texas. He was the fifth of five children in his family. He was from a poor family and showed a talent for idleness at an early age.

He was arrested for stealing other people's cars. After he was released from prison, he committed another crime and was arrested for stealing.

One day in 1930, a 21-year-old young Clyde was tall, handsome, and handsome. While visiting a friend's home, he met Bonnie, and the two fell in love...

After being released from prison, Clyde, and his former inmates, Raymond formed the Barrow gang, a gang, mainly robbing a grocery store or a gas station. In an operation to rob a grocery store, the gun went off and killed the owner.

In this way, Clyde became a robber that everyone shouted and beaten. For Bonnie, love was precious, and she still followed Clyde to the end of the world.

Eight months later, another police officer was killed in a firefight with the police in western Oklahoma, his companion Raymond was arrested, and Clyde narrowly escaped.

This made him famous, running away and being famous is not as good as people think, the reality is that they are struggling because they are afraid of being recognized.

They could only walk in remote places, camped in the wild, bathed in streams, and lived a life of wandering, which made the two of them violent.

The car caught fire and Bonnie burned his right leg. Bonnie has been unable to move since then. Clyde is still there, robbing and stealing cars, trying his best to heal his injuries.

It's hard to believe that such a story of robbers killing people has become a household name at the time. They are cynical and in the era of economic depression, the rich are still very rich, but I have a hard life, why...

After a lapse of 30 years, in 1967, their deeds were made into the movie "Bonnie Clyde". Once this movie was released, it won almost all the Oscar awards, and the praise was amazing...

49 years later, a similar film was made in the United States in 2016. He is not a story of a male and female thief, but a story between two brothers

West Texas

A blue American muscle car, mixed with electronic music, two young people speeding up to a cheerful song, parked near the bank.

Put on the black mask, yes they are robbing the bank, brother Toby (Chris Pine), brother Tanner (Ben Foster)

After a fight with the clerk, they drove away, and the satisfaction of the money, they went crazy and drove the car into a remote farm.

The excavator buried his criminal car, which was a good choice, and then started committing crimes, robbing, burying the car, robbing, and committing crimes along the way.

When the Texas police learned that they were shocked by the successive crimes, it was okay, lawless and unbearable, and they decided to investigate this case.

Marcus (Jeff Bridges), a veteran actor, Oscar winner, with a long Western beard, at an old age, this may be the last case in his life, and he is about to retire.

And his old partner, Alberto (Jill Birmingham), because of his mixed Indian blood, Marcus always jokes with him, about race, about religion, about faith.

Ridicule has become an eternal topic for Mr. Marcus and his partner. Facing a sudden robber, it is more like a fox meeting an old hunter.

Obviously the old man didn't succeed in realizing his old hunter skills. They were always a second late, and like Bonnie Clyde, they were always one step behind, and when they got to the scene, they ran away.

And Marcus wanted to investigate, the tip of the robber to the waiter was glared by the waitress, and the $200 was my daughter's living expenses, I can't give it to you, everyone's life is always so difficult, the total investigation it can't go on...

They are really stupid, the cynicism of the crowd, like the days of robbery, cameras everywhere, gone forever...

Marcus said, I remember that was decades ago...

Whether you can kill these two robbers, and whether the old man can hold it to the end, you will understand after reading it.

This "Going through fire and water" won the Academy Award for Best Film, the Golden Globe Award, and the Cannes Film Award. It was praised by one water. Netizens commented: Two people have two lines, the scorching loess, a piece of loess, the friendship between men, and the inside is earth-shattering. .

Toby, who had the same experience as Clyde, was from a poor family. His mother had just passed away. He didn't have the obligation to figure out the land and property before his death, so he took it to the bank as a mortgage.

Divorced and amnesia, he had to face a large amount of alimony, which made him devastated, and an accidental discovery that their farm was rich in oil.

This made them brothers, and the idea of ​​robbery was born, and they used the robbed money to launder the money in the casino to redeem their farm. Toby and his brother robbed and committed crimes all the way.

If the two brothers are pure robbers, they may have nothing to do with each other, but they have relatives. Toby should go back to the previous home and tell his son that your grandmother died, and I want to leave that farm to you and your brother.

You can do whatever you want, but you can't sell the oil in the farm, so your life will be better. After you know about the matter between my uncle and me, don't learn from us. My son said, no matter what you do, I don't believe it. Bee said: No you have to believe it, that's all we do.

This may be a kind of relief. He let his son understand what evil is, and don't learn from us when he grows up. The deep father's love is beyond words, and no one really praised them for doing good things.

Toby in the movie said something so meaningful, poverty is like a genetic disease passed down in his family from generation to generation, and he wants to keep his children away from this disease. Since then, he is poor and the child is rich; he is a criminal and the child is innocent.

Of course, in addition to the deep love of the father, there is also the deep love of the brothers. I remember the night of the last robbery in the film, watching the sunset slowly fall, the sunset in the distance shines on the sky, two brothers, holding wine bottles, in the dark Against the background, playing childhood games, as if back to childhood.

He didn't want to kill people. Two people with beautiful childhood dreams, but they took such a road. It's hard to imagine that Toby's scolded brother, you fucking killed people. I didn't need to die this time. What you have done is too out of line. My brother said that either I will die or he will die. It's your choice.

If you have seen "Bonnie Clyde" and you compare it with this one, you will find that they all have strong feelings in it. Bonnie's love and memory of his ex-husband, until the day he died, he still wore a diamond ring on his hand. Even if Ryder was injured on the way to escape, he would risk his life to take care of her.

When you are young, your impulses can bring you enjoyment, but after you have tasted the feeling, you can't let go of the person you love the most.

This may be a relief of human nature. When the brothers robbed the last vote, on the wide road in Texas, under the afterglow of the scorching sun, they changed cars. Let's move separately. You go to the casino to launder money, and I will divert them away. .

My brother may know that this is the last goodbye between their brothers. I love you Toby, and I love you too. I mean it. He smiled and drove off.

Both films reveal the characteristics of human nature, they are not ruthless, bloodthirsty killers, Bonnie and Clyde, even if they don't kill people, sometimes Bonny will take them for a ride and chat , released them in remote places, and paid them the return journey.

Until Bonnie and Clyde were shot dead by the ambush police, their Ford car was hit by more than 100 bullets, of which more than 50 were hit, and they died tragically..

When people brought their bodies back to the town, it almost became a carnival. Tens of thousands of people came to the town of more than 2,000 people, and the prices in the bars skyrocketed.

People came here to see these two legendary male and female robbers. They loved them to the point of madness, thinking that they could take everything they could with their hard work, and even cut off their ears. .

Tens of thousands of people attended their funerals, news of their deaths sent newspaper sales skyrocketing, and flowers from all kinds filled the cemetery...

Disgusted robbers, murderous demons, often end up miserable, not to be treated like heroes, but Bonnie Clyde did it, they dared to do it, and also expressed the ordinary people's feelings about the background of that era, the economic depression, People rebel against the fantasy of the rich, and they both do it for them, and dare to do it.

Going back to this film, the film itself is bland, like the usual American Western films, the story of murdering robbers, Western uncles, and killing robbers.

There is nothing special, but I like it as much as Bonnie Clyde's story. I like him because of my sympathy for ordinary people like myself, the poverty of birth, the anxiety of the family, the embarrassment of life, these things can happen. on ordinary people.

Perhaps out of the pursuit of a trace of their adventurous spirit, and dissatisfaction with the oppression of reality, it is more out of a fancy for that brotherhood, such a good film, what are you waiting for!
