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.

    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.
