strange robber

A classic of road movies. The whole film presents the story of a group of robbers in a very playful way.

In the first half of the film, the robbers won again and again, giving the audience a sense of joy that they were in no position to lose, but when the elder brother and sister-in-law were injured, the audience realized that they were not heroes, but flesh and blood. The cruelty of the director was gradually revealed. The robbers were killed and wounded, and they fled in a hurry. They were very embarrassed.

Robbers are not like robbers, thieves also have their own way, which is the most absurd part of the whole film. Although they robbed banks and wounded the police, they still had their own principles. Such image creation confuses the audience and makes the audience empathize with the negative characters in the normal sense. It is a pity that the director did not interpret the film from the perspective of the robbers. He played the role of the judge from the perspective of God, mocking the insidiousness of the police and the shallowness of the robbers. So in the clip of Bonnie and Clyde arguing, the director used the lines of the quarrel to tear the two masks apart. It turns out that "no one can catch" the chivalrous Clyde is a man with little experience and confidence in sex life, the beautiful and dangerous heroine Bonnie is a waiter who sleeps with a truck driver, and the handsome and unruly The male and female thieves are just two playful and immature children wandering aimlessly in the middle of the United States. This actual identity lays the foundation for the tragedy destined for the two. If the two of them are at large forever, even settle down in a small town and wash their hands in a golden pot, it will become a story of the ages, but there is a wildfire in their blood that yearns for freedom, and they are destined to live a quiet life, so death is only sooner or later. question.

So how to die becomes a more important matter. Bonnie wrote a poem that she and Clyde would die together, the ending they yearned for. Maybe the director also has a sympathetic temperament, so in the end, Bonnie and Clyde, the couple, perish together, so that they can look at each other affectionately. Even without words, the three words "I love you" can be heard across the screen.

Before you die, you are watching your loved one, and the other party also gave you a response. It can be regarded as a regret-free ending.

Bonnie and Clyde quotes

  • [about Bonnie's poem]

    Clyde Barrow: You know what you done there? You told my story, you told my whole story right there, right there. One time, I told you I was gonna make you somebody. That's what you done for me. You made me somebody they're gonna remember.

  • Clyde Barrow: Alright. Alright. If all you want's a stud service, you get on back to West Dallas and you stay there the rest of your life. You're worth more than that. A lot more than that. You know it and that's why you come along with me. You could find a lover boy on every damn corner in town. It don't make a damn to them whether you're waitin' on tables or pickin' cotton, but it does make a damn to me.

    Bonnie Parker: Why?

    Clyde Barrow: Why? What's you mean, "Why?" Because you're different, that's why. You know, you're like me. You want different things. You got somethin' better than bein' a waitress. You and me travelin' together, we could cut a path clean across this state and Kansas and Missouri and Oklahoma and everybody'd know about it. You listen to me, Miss Bonnie Parker. You listen to me.
