This movie is the second movie I watched at the Shanghai International Film Festival in 2017. It was at 6 o'clock after get off work. In the Atmos Hall of the Peaceful Film City, I remember that I was 3 minutes late, so I didn't see the title. From the beginning, I understood that Bonnie and Clyde met. It was a fatal encounter. Bonnie had her family reasons, so I saw a man who could take her out of the center of the whirlpool, and this man named Clyde. The man's first feeling was so naughty, and the two hit it off. The so-called men are not bad, women do not love, Clyde's bad mind makes Bao Ni instantly become a fan girl. They started a desperate journey like this.

This type of film is based on real crime cases and artistically modified. The so-called desperate mandarin ducks are not really romantic, and some assistants are added. In my opinion, these assistants are just like the way Jesus called his disciples back then. Enter, there is a natural degree of coordination. It seems to me that this has something to do with the depressed economy at that time. Everyone wants to take a path of wealth and risk.

Bonnie and Clyde's hormones and dopamine peak each time they commit a crime. Note that this is the excitement of committing a crime. Instead, Clyde has his own dark problems, so he has always been concerned about his intimate relationship with his girlfriend Bonnie. What I worry about is that a figure in the American social newspaper at that time was not satisfied with his girlfriend. There is a lot of joy here, especially how Clyde shows us in the film how to be squeamish and unhappy. She also has responsibility. She is not the kitten by Clyde's side. They complement each other, but they have no tomorrow.

They teased the police with their assistants and let them survive by accident. They really don't have a tomorrow. There is a cliché of the plot that has become a real evil, but the real case is presented to me. It was they who were really killed. But before they were killed, the contradictions within their group, their resistance when they stepped out of the vortex of life and entered a larger vortex of eternal doom, their powerless resistance, fortunately, they were not like Farewell My Concubine. Being raided is a happy death. Make future generations full of admiration but not really want to be them.

    I think it’s more of a person in the old Hollywood system taking the elements of the new wave and youth culture to follow the wind. It is said that the setting of the three-person line is to imitate the ancestors and the ancestors. As a result, the filming is completely different. What's going on, and that gas station kid doesn't have a chemical reaction with Bonnie at all, right? There is neither the exquisiteness of classical Hollywood nor the depression that really can’t find a way out like the Easy Riders and Five Songs.

    It seems to be full of violence, but it is actually full of lust. The opening is so provocative, and the ending is extremely gentle. When they meet, they are alive but broken, and when they separate, they are dead but full. The new wave meets Hollywood, full of strong vitality.
