Review of Bonnie and Clyde (1967) by Adam K — 07 May 2009

Since I just finished watching this, I still have mixed feelings about it. It definitely starts out slowly but gains momentum and ends with a bang, just like I thought it would. The acting is pretty good, and I love the dynamic characters.

Considering that this film was made in 1967, it used some really creative shots, cuts and story telling, that you can see mimicked today in a few movies. The movie puts a neat perspective on 'organized' crime.

I believe this also translates well today, with kids being 'bored' and looking for stuff to do, a lot of youth turn to crime for recreation, not realizing that there are major consequences for doing so.

This film is definitely worth watching; at least once over, but subsequent viewings may not have the same desired effect.
