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.

    The picture is very beautiful, the story has to see the end and then aftertaste to have a taste

    "We have no tomorrow." This translation is absolutely amazing.

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.
