This week’s mean viewing was Bonnie and Clyde that was filmed in 1967, which is about a couple that is infamous robbery run that lasted 21 mouths and lasted from 1932 to 1934. Their robbery went across state lines from Texas, Oklahoma, Mexico, and Missouri. This robbery team was responsible for 13 murders which were mostly police officers that were trying to stop them from doing the robberies. Bonnie and Clyde ended up becoming heroes on some people’s eyes because they ended up being seen as people that were teaching the banking system a lesson.
The movie did a great job at showing the different parts of their rain of robberies across many states and how crazy they really were. This movie kept me interested the whole time and was a very good watch, it remined me a lot of the movie that was made not to long ago about the cops trying to hunt Bonnie and Clyde called Lawman. It was almost like watching the missing part of the store and was really cool to watch. This movie focused on their relationship and how they were in love which was a really cool part to see that you wouldn’t really hear if you read about the duo in other outlets.
The shoot outs seen in the movie were very advanced for the time, it was almost like they were real at times with bullet holes appearing like they were really made by a real gun. Also, things exploding around them while they get shot at by the police. This really added a crazy aspect to the movie and made it that more exciting to watch. Over all this movie was great and a really a good all-around movie. I love how you get to see bonnie and Clyde meet and their relationship Build over time and come full circle and ending with their death at the end of the movie. It’s almost like you don’t think it will happen after watching them escape death and capture for so long.
