"This here's Miss Bonnie
Parker. I'm Clyde Barrow. We rob banks." -
Clyde Barrow
Why watch this?
To many Southwestern poor folks, the Barrow gangsters were heroes. Texas
lawmen saw it differently.
Plot Summary: During
the Great Depression, a bored waitress named Bonnie Parker meets
ex-con Clyde Barrow and they begin a crime spree across America.
As they rob banks and evade law enforcement, their exploits
become more violent. The film follows their love story and
growing notoriety as they become infamous criminals.
Dad's Preview:
This story chronicles real-life, Texas-born, bank robbers Bonnie Parker and
Clyde Barrow, who pillaged in the South during the Great
Depression. It all but immortalized Dunaway and Beatty for their
performances. This film introduced a more realistic type of
film-making, breaking more grittier ground. The violence is sometimes hard-to-watch. The film's brutal ending
is now considered one of cinema's most iconic moments.
