"Bonnie and Clyde," which appeared repeatedly in Syd's "The Fundamentals of Screenwriting," aroused my curiosity. After reading it intermittently, it was really a good film.
As Sid said, a good story starts with characters and action. The story tells the story of two young people who dared to rebel against the constraints of authority and were eventually arrested for robbing a bank. Of course, although the final ending is tragic, I don't want the two to die, but it seems that this is the most suitable ending under the values.
With the development of the plot, the character of Clyde becomes more and more clear and flesh and blood. Although he robs, he is kind. The one scene that stuck with me the most is when he shoots two people who have had their house taken by the bank to vent their anger. He could trust them unsuspectingly. As for later, one of them said in an interview: If they die, I will lay flowers at their cemetery, which is touching. Although he loves beauty, he does not easily let Bonnie follow her on the road of escape. Is Clyde wrong? He was at fault, for robbing a bank, for murder, for his disobedience and resistance to authority. But what about the cops in the film, they trumpeted the fact that they didn't exist, and finally used despicable methods to besiege the helpless two people, so that the two eventually died under the hail of bullets. The world of right and wrong does not exist, and robbers can also be kind and still have humane care for ordinary people.
And Bonnie, not only did I fall in love with this daring, beautiful, strong, adventurous blond American girl, in stark contrast to the pastor's daughter. Of course, Bonnie is not without weaknesses, and the part of watching his mother makes people feel a little uncomfortable. "I want to go home" should be a harbor for the souls of every wandering and helpless person.
Let's talk about the drama again, I'm still in the learning stage, but I still hope to criticize and correct my personal opinions. The construction stage is a two-person robbery, and the first plot point should be accidentally wounding people and embarking on the road of escape. In the confrontation stage, I met my brother and his party and continued to rob. The second plot point was being chased by the police and there were casualties. In the end, the two were killed.
In the end, I feel that there should be cultural background factors here, which lead to this kind of police and gangster films against authority. There is still to be learned and supplemented here~
