Review of Bonnie and Clyde (1967) by Clifton H — 14 Aug 2012
Bonnie and Clyde is simply put and outstanding in every respect. Acting is superb, directing brilliant, and the story unrivaled. It's an all time classic and one of, if not the best movie every made.
Ironic as it is, pinnacle of the film's greatness comes before their (Bonnie & Clyde's) death in the dramatic machine gun scene. The two look at each other as they realized they've been set-up and in one of acting's finest moments give each other a knowing smile.
Love of their excitement-ridden lifestyle, knowing that this is just another part in the game that is their live. Love of each other, wanting to be together even in death. Fact that they both know that the poem Bonnie came true to the letter and that last line was being written in that very moment.
Fact that despite what Bonnie had insinuated earlier in the film, they wouldn't have changed their lives for anything. A moment of true, complete and astounding love.
