If this time is not enough to determine the reality of Clyde's "abnormal", in the hotel behind, Clyde did not go further with Bonnie again, and one night, Bonnie woke up sadly watching her sleeping. Next to Clyde, the truth is ready to come out-Clyde is incompetent.
If Clyde has strong sexual ability, the story may be more like a natural murderer. If they still want to take the road of robbery and murder, it is a romance of desire and indulgence. But here, Bonnie and Clyde's "evil deeds" are repressive. Clyde can only show his males through realistic guns and robberies to express his feelings for Bonnie. Like Bonnie’s poem, although Clyde is a thief, he is kind and does not have a natural bloodthirsty and murderous nature. The encounter with bankrupt farmers made them hate the bank, and then there was the Barrow Gang. They proudly said that we were robbing the bank.
Regardless of whether the real Clyde is impotent or not, his condition in the film can easily be seen as a metaphor. The background of the story is that during the Great Depression, economic recession and social corruption, Clyde's impotence is social impotence. At the end of the 1960s when movies were made, although the economy was no longer a problem, the mental distress faced by young people was even greater. The nightmare of the Vietnam War continues endlessly, cannabis LSD is spreading, sexual liberation is booming, rock music has become a poison and placebo for the younger generation, and society is facing a state of spiritual impotence.
The biggest metaphor is also the reason why Bonnie and Clyde have become milestones. At this time, Hollywood is in a state of impotence. Previously, Hollywood's works departed from the entire era and were lifeless. In 1967, the advent of Bonnie and Clyde and their graduates, two timely works, also announced the beginning of a new Hollywood generation. Then came the rise of the well-known directors, Coppola, Ultraman, Lucas, Xicoses... Clyde's impotence became a sign of Hollywood's erection, but Hollywood did not recognize it at the time. In the second year's Oscars, Bonnie and Clyde failed several major awards. They could only shout in dissatisfaction that our bank robs were robbed!
In the days when Clyde and Bonnie finally escaped, in a sunny field, Clyde did what he hadn't done before. He asked Bonnie anxiously how. Bonnie replied, you behaved perfectly. Bonnie's calm and gentle tone made people feel that this was a kind of comfort, but at that time, this was no longer a problem between them, and Bonnie's feelings for Clyde were satisfied with the changes in her life. In that era of impotence, the audience saw Bonnie and Clyde being satisfied.
