| Rating |  | | Date | July 04, 2005 | | Summary | A good crime movie with a great ending | Content
 | This a very enjoyable film as long as you don't think too hard about it. It is your classic 70's campy feeling film about a couple of Brigands. (Its okay to take off and go on a crime spree because of the Great Depression and those nasty banks)But if you stop and think about it, the trail of destruction and death they left behind them, you sober up real fast. That is why I always like the ending with the ambush of these two. Frankly they deserved it in real life. Altogther a great cast and a great movie. |

| Warner Bros. is doing a magnificent job at releasing their classics in restore fashion on special feature laden DVD Special Editions, but why no Bonnie and Clyde, yet? Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway should at least take a days worth of time out of their schedules and give their attention to the movie that put cemented their places in Hollywood (and if at all possible a SE of Network with a commentary from Dunaway would be great!!!!). |
| Rating | | | Date | June 13, 2005 | | Summary | This Movie Fails As A "Dark Comedy " or Drama!!! | Content
| This movie was frst canned by the critics when it was released. Then Warren Beatty got his publicity machine rolling and Lo and Behold all of the critics then thought it was a so called "Masterpiece".This movie is neither "fish nor fowl" as it fails as both a Comedy and a Drama. Warren Beatty plays Cyde Barrow in this movie who is sadly impotent most of the time. In real life he does not have this problem from what I have read about his numerous sexual exploits.Perhaps he should have devoted as much time and energy in making this film as he does in seducing women in Hollywood. I give this movie 5 stars because I have always liked Ms. Dunaway although she has appeared in much better movies than this one. |

| Interesting points made regarding 60"s counter-culture movie making & this film. And I agree.
However, at the end of this film the "protagonists" are sprayed with bullets in a scene only matched by "The Godfather" when James Caan gets his at the toll-booth.
And on a personal note, I distinctly recall a childhood memory of watching this film at my grandmother's house on long-Island. At the end of the movie when the woman who was more or less tagging along with her husband and the bunch gets left alone in a room, permanantly blinded, and talking to herself I remarked that it was sad. To which my grandmother responded "crime DOES NOT PAY!" Which I believe to be the true lesson of the film. |

| The acting is superb. It's the best thing about this movie. Faye Dunaway is sensational and so believable. Warren Beatty is also very good. The supporting cast does a great job too.
I don't like sad movies. But this one isn't really sad. We all know what happens to Bonnie and Clyde at the end, in that last memorable scene. But I just went to two wakes in the past week, two people who died of lingering diseases. I don't think Bonnie and Clyde went in a bad way. There was no suffering, no chemo, no worrying at the end, just a quick clean break, and off they go, back home, to where we all come from.
The happiest part of the movie occurs shortly before the final scene, when Clyde Barrow finally consummates their relationship, after being unable to do so, after giving up hope of ever experiencing physical love. Perhaps this scene was understated, and shouldn't have been. Perhaps it should have been more emotional. I don't know if showing emotion is Warren Beatty's forte.
The movie drags just a little bit at some points, is just about 15 minutes too long for my taste. I would have been a little more ruthless in the editing room. I wouldn't want anyone in the audience to feel for one moment that the story is starting to slow down.
In general, a really fine job, a movie not to be missed. |
