The denouement is touched with a grotesque, visual poetry. Bonnie and Clyde have solved their sexual incompatibility. This aspect of the film is unduly sensationalistic and contrived - in reality, Bonnie loved another member of the gang, not shown in the film, and actually , she was simply not Clyde's kind of woman. The implied homosexuality of Clyde is also of dubious origin and clumsily handled in terms of clarifying his personality. The legend clashes gently and movingly with the real. Actually, Bonnie had a tattoo on her thigh. Over 167 buttlets were pumped into the car, and nestled among the guns and ammunition in the back seat was a saxophone and some sheet music, but film is a film, neither tattoo nor saxophone can we find in it. ^_^

[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.
