Give it up for Bonnie and Clyde...

[Movies205]

I saw this movie a couple of weeks ago and while I thought it was solid while I was watching it, my mind has drifted to it quite a lot in my thoughts. This movie just packs a lot of charm, the chemistry between Beatty and Dunaway, is great. And throw in Gene Hackman, this film is great I need to pick it up and add it to my collection....

I personally prefer a lot of the precursors to Bonnie and Clyde a lot more, but it is good.

 

[Movies205]

Such as?

 

[JLBats]

Breathless is the most obvious example, but also Gun Crazy and They Live By Night, even though the latter two are pretty cheesy.

 

[Everyman]

Bonnie&Clyde is a great movie.

 

[The Shape]

Bonnie and Clyde has been a favorite of mine ever since I saw it many years ago. It just hit me hard then and still does today.

 

[Shuley]

I didn't like Bonnie & Clyde as much as I thought I was going to,It's a bit dated.

 

[Movies205]

The whole "I'm not a lover-boy" I liked and disliked, I liked it because it something different, it's a nice change from all the easy sex that's shown in movies today but at the same time it was hard to understand it because it's not very clear, unless you fill it in yourself which is he's shy.

 

[Darth Elektra]

Yep, its a great film!

 

[mister Lennon]

Great and very important movie. It changed the way of the movies in the mid 60s and brokend many ways. And the film is great, the actors are superverb and the story is amazing. Also, the end is one of the most shoking ends in cinema story.

Arthur Penn was a great filmaker. And for curiosity, Francois Truffautt and Jean Luc Goddar almost directed the movie.

 

[The Chairman]

I still haven't seen it.

 

[mister Lennon]

Its a must see movie, one of the most important movies in the 60s. Movies like bonnie and clyde, the graduate, easy ryder and others changed the way of the cinema and the great studios era. Actors like Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Julie Christie, Godie Hawn, Gene Hackman, Robert Redford,Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, jane Fonda, Al pacino, Robert De niro, Robert Duvall and directors and scripters like Penn, Spielberg, Kubrick, Coppola, Scorsese, Towne, Polansky,Pollack, De Palma, Lucas, Hasby, Friedkin and another people were the main flags of this important change of cinema story.

Part of it is due to the era that it was filmed....to talk of someone having sexual difficulties was harder to get past the censors than the violence (which they came down hard on too) for those days.

While the movie strays from the facts a lot, it was still a great film. It was the first thing I really took note of Michael J. Pollard in.

 

[mister Lennon]

In the original script, The michael J. Pollard character was in a sexual trio with Bonnie and Clyde, but it was changed at the last minute because they thought that it will be too much addedd with the violence scenes in the movie.

 

[tzarinna]

This is one of my childhood favorites.
Beatty and Dunaway were wonderful together,man it made me want to run off and rob banks with them

 

[Lex Luthor]

Havent seen this movie in quite awhile, but I remember thinking that yes. Bonnie And Clyde was a damn good movie.

 

[Assassin32]

All that and Gene Wilder, too.
