very long since i saw, re-ranking upcoming

Awesome cast and thoroughly entertaining.

Perhaps one of the finest movies of the late 1960s, highly influenced by the Nouvelle Vague, with its complex morality and sincere violence. Still, it is, as Easy Rider, the start and the end of a generation, as its finale claims.

This film is a landmark because it influenced major directors such as Tarantino and Coppola. It's a violent movie, with romance on two anti heroes.

Magnificent film version of the story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. A perceptive film, quite stunningly directed. Beatty, who also produced this exciting, well-written gangster classic, is brilliant as the impotent hoodlum Barrow. The film established Dunaway as a major screen personality, and Parsons won an Academy Award for her supporting role as Clyde's sister-in-law.

It's neat seeing a film so integral in the emergence of film violence. I enjoyed both of the main characters, especially Dunaway. But when the secondary characters came along I felt more annoyed than interested. I know Estelle Parsons' character was SUPPOSED to be annoying, but my god her shrieking was driving me crazy. The movie is interesting historically, entertaining for the most part, but somewhat forgettable overall.

Succeeds in painting an authentic portrait of the notorious couple yet, this is also the film's main issue: a bunch of petty criminals fresh out of juvenescence, who enrolled in robbing gas stations and grocery stores, becoming (undeservedly so) the center of media launched attention. One doesn't need this film to grow tired of them, which is what I eventually did about 20 minutes in. Not horrible, but nothing special either, and Warren Beatty looks way too old. You're not fooling anybody !

"Bonnie And Clyde" is definitely well-shot and fun to watch. But it contains too many romantic and comedic scenes which are not harmonized with action. As a result, the viewer is confused and disorientated and not sure if they must take it seriously. Still, it maintains their interest and, when it comes to dramatic or action scenes, Penn delivers completely. It is not a classic but it's not far either.

Mistakes - 1) In the scene where the gang is in the car eating the donuts, Blanch's donuts switches from being half eaten to only one bite and then back to half eaten. 2) In the first few minutes of the movie, when Bonnie first goes out to meet Clyde, she 'clomps' down the stairs in obviously hard, heeled shoes. A few minutes later, as they're walking, she's now wearing soft, flat shoes.

The chemistry between Dunaway and Beatty is just perfect and the writing is pretty damn good as well. One of the most important films of the 60's.

It was always gonna end in tears yet still great escapist fun. It had the violence, sex, acting and the writing to back it all up.
