The overlapping of light and shadow, let us first go back to the film era. After World War II, the United States ushered in a golden stage of the economy. The industrialized society is like a popcorn machine. The society is constantly pressurized, the economic bubble is constantly expanding, and it is crazy like a cockfight. As it develops, the American heart is extremely contradictory, happy and painful. However, with the loud noise of the popcorn machine, they were so frightened that they didn't have time to tie the cloth bags. The crazy popcorn was scattered all over the place, and most of the onlookers were scalded. The moaning solidified, and people didn't even have time to care about the black box that was secretly having fun. In the 1930s, the United States fell from heaven to hell under such a background. Poverty, disease, food and clothing were the pronouns of the three eras, and the economic turmoil centered on the United States was domineering.
The film reproduces the dilapidated people's livelihood at that time in many details like sketches, with empty streets and few pedestrians. Clyde only needs to chop off two toes to get out of prison. The laxity of justice reflects the pessimism of the whole society. Poor food and clothing, unable to treat like AIDS, the owner of the grocery store took a knife for two bags of food and fought for his life. There are many bankrupt banks on the roadside, and of course there are also many banks that are swollen and fattened. They reclaim their houses in schadenfreude, and they must be Satan if they cannot be God. Despair has been thoroughly dissected from the various cars that came from A. It was destroyed indefinitely during the escape, and suffered the fate of being abandoned without a choice. Has the "Barlow Gang" thought that this is their destiny?
On and off screen, the "Barlow Gang" are worshipped because of their youthful impulses. Bonnie is a traditional betrayal. She sees the restlessness, desire and depression of that era in her. She is always smoking a cigarette and grabbing her hair irritably. Her body, including her red lips, is a reminiscence of the bubbles of that era, beautiful but so erratic. Her character makes people see the strongest call in their own hearts, to overthrow this era and let the light belong to them again. But Bonnie has only one. At the same time, Clyde is an oppressive rebel. He wants to rewrite the unsatisfactory status quo with blood, but his strength is too small to make him feel that his skills in robbing banks are not as good as his skills in escaping. This is ironic Demonstrated by his impotence. The "Barlow Gang" and the police are chasing like a cat and a mouse. There is no peace. Most of the time, the police have their moustache and chase without saying a word. It seems that that is their highest honor. Interviews and exaggerated testimony of wounded innocents seem to be on their agenda, and the military coat that symbolizes controversy and justice is now the fur of an unscrupulous weasel. The police is the eternal symbol of the existence of modern society. Some people say that everyone is unemployed and the police are not unemployed. This made people at that time begin to doubt whether there is a loophole in the social structure that has been living, and the black hole is eroding their living capital and self-confidence. .
The song ended, and back in the 1960s, society gradually returned to the right track, but what followed was a big social cholera, just like the little daughter-in-law used all her strength and resentment to spit out all the grievances of being oppressed, so she "revolted." The word "counter-culture" popped out naturally, and the hippie culture that was obsessed with eccentricity and the pursuit of absurdity, such as rock music, drug addiction, sexual deviance, abortion, and streaking, was surging. Under the cover of the nest, how can there be a complete egg. It is not so much that people's minds are being baptized, and they are not as good as orthopedics. It is better to say that malaria has struck, the social will has begun to play, and conservatives and rebels have problems that cannot be solved on the round table. Emptiness, crisis of trust, etc. come together, people use material to cover up their fears, GUCCI, CHANEL star eyes are slanted, materialistic desires and the psychological shadow that can never be relieved have become a threshold that cannot be crossed until now. (Is it possible to consider Xuexiang Lin's wife to donate the threshold to atone for sin~) "Bonnie and Clyde" is a great movie, "Barlow Gang" is also the greatest idea of that era, but there will be no more , until now.
