Bonnie and Clyde

Bonnie and Clyde is an interesting about a small town southern girl who is unhappy with the small life the she living and is looking for something exciting and new to happen in her life. Bonnie has a chance meeting with a man named Clyde who is scoping out her mothers car to hijack and she just so happens to notice that he is down there. Clyde starts to tell Bonnie all about his dark past with theft and thievery, and he tries to impress her by telling her stories from his past. Clyde entices Bonnie with his charm and guts and she is instantly interested in joining Clyde as his partner in crime to help him rob banks. Bonnie accepts without hesitation and they start their rampage immediately. They start off small to get Bonnie accustomed to what is ahead of them and they eventually start to rob banks. Throughout the rest of the film they start to ask some of the people they run into to join their team, and they eventually have C.W. Buck and Blanche who are Clyde's brother and sister-in-law join them in their efforts to rob as many backs as they can and get as much money as possible, all while killing and injuring anyone who gets in their way. The film starts out as a classic crime movie, but eventually falls into a love story between criminals who learn to need one another.

This is a film that I did not completely enjoy because I found it hard to believe the actors in their roles. It was at times funny but mostly annoying and boring. I did not really understand why Clyde was doing what he was doing in the first place, and Bonnie was so bland throughout the whole film and her annoying voice and accent were hard to listen too as well. The relationship that Clyde and Buck though is fun and very loving and you can tell that they really have a great relationship but it does tend to revolve around crime most if the time, and Blanche is quiet and doesn't really know how to act at times and almost questions what they are doing. C.W. though is a quirky character that always has the funny one liners and the weird tendencies, but he is funny at times. Overall I would not say that this is a film that I will ever watch again but it was entertaining at times, but boring and unbelievable for the most part.
