ordinary people dream

Bonnie and Clyde read poems on the lawn, and the paper blows away, hinting at fate. The shaky left-shift footage of CW's father before he comes out of the store appears to be peeping at CW's father's dealings with the police through binoculars in the car, implying police hypocrisy. And the Eva' label on the green packaging of the snack that appeared in this scene also appeared when CW was talking to his father in the end, so that even the face-blind audience immediately realized that CW's father had made a deal with the police department. In the last scene when Bonnie and Clyde are killed, the rhythm slows down, the calm before the storm. While viewers were relieved that Bonnie and Clyde had escaped the police, they were tensed again. As viewers and Bonnie contemplate their future, they die again in a sudden hail of bullets, with only the brisk but sad tune at the end of the credits mourning them. We could hear it was the hilarious soundtrack in every "interesting" shot, and the happy soundtrack finally stopped. But Bonnie and Clyde finally fulfilled their unwilling to be ordinary dreams. Their prestige made the police who killed them look at their corpses with fear when looking at their bodies through the glass, and the bullet holes in the glass windows had already It fully expresses the hypocrisy of the police and the fragmentation of the American dream.

"Bonnie and Clyde" may be called "Ordinary Bank Robbery Heroes".

Bonnie and Clyde quotes

  • Bonnie Parker: [reading her poem] You've heard the story of Jesse James / Of how he lived and died / If you're still in need / Of something to read / Here's the story of Bonnie and Clyde. / Now Bonnie and Clyde are the Barrow gang / I'm sure you all have read / How they rob and steal / And those who squeal / Are usually found dyin' or dead. / They call them cold-hearted killers / They say they are heartless and mean / But I say this with pride / That I once knew Clyde / When he was honest and upright and clean. / But the laws fooled around / Kept takin' him down / And lockin' him up in a cell / Till he said to me: "I'll never be free / So I'll meet a few of them in Hell." / If a policeman is killed in Dallas / And they have no clue to guide / If they can't find a fiend / They just wipe their slate clean / And hang it on Bonnie and Clyde / If they try to act like citizens / And rent them a nice little flat / About the third night / They're invited to fight / By a sub-guns' rat-a-tat-tat. / Some day, they'll go down together / They'll bury them side by side / To a few, it'll be grief / To the law, a relief / But it's death for Bonnie and Clyde.

  • Bonnie's Mother: You know Clyde, I read about you all in the papers, and I just get scared.

    Clyde Barrow: Now Ms. Parker, don't you believe what you read in all them newspapers. That's the law talkin' there. They want us to look big so they gonna look big when they catch us. And they ain't gonna catch us. 'Cause I'm even better at runnin' than I am at robbin' banks! Shoot, if we'd done half that stuff they said we'd done in that paper, we'd be millionaires by now, wouldn't we? But Ms. Parker, this here's the way we know best how to make money. But we gonna be quittin' all this, as soon as the hard times are over. I can tell ya that. Why just the other night, me and Bonnie were talkin'. And we were talkin' about the time we're gonna settle down and get us a home. And uh, she says to me, she says, "You know, I couldn't bear to live more than three miles from my precious Mother." Now how'd ya like that, Mother Parker?

    Bonnie's Mother: I don't believe I would. I surely don't. You try to live three miles from me and you won't live long, honey. You best keep runnin', Clyde Barrow. And you know it.

    [to Bonnie]

    Bonnie's Mother: Bye, baby.
