The two most impressive

There are two scenes that impressed me the most, one is before and after bonnie says goodbye to her mother, and the other is the classic ending.
I just read a few questions about clyde's impotence upstairs, and I think it makes sense. I was so suspicious at first, but I changed my mind when I saw it: maybe clyde has always refused to put bonnie into the abyss of sin, haha. It seems that my knowledge is too little, and there is no connection with reality.
I also mentioned the two scenes:
the first one, bonnie is running in the meadow, clyde is chasing anxiously, the picture is very beautiful, it reminds me of "Forrest Gump". The part of saying goodbye to his mother is very different from the overall style of the film. The rhythm is slowed down, the picture is foggy, very peaceful and harmonious, and then the dialogue between clyde and bonnie's mother brings me back to reality. An unrealistic beauty and a foreshadowing of the fate of the two protagonists.
The second one reminds me of Fa Ge's "Shanghai Bund" again. The feeling is to learn this :) The
connection of the shots is very clean and neat. Clyde's face-to-face with Bonnie before he fell, and the high-speed photography when he fell, is really classic. The things shot in that era are not as fancy as today's blockbusters, but they are just as shocking.
Reminds me of Neil Young's it's better to burn out than fade away.

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.
