"Bonnie & Clyde" is a 1967 movie that is based off of actual outlaws! Being the crime enthusiast that I am, I was very excited to watch this movie. This movie has everything in it, romance, intrigue, and crime! What more could you ask for on a date night? Although my date nights recently have been just me watching these movies knitting, and eating chex mix. That sounds sad but it is actually a grand time especially after all the work I have to do! This movie is really good and definitely a classic one. I loved Clyde because he was mysterious and dangerous. Bonnie annoyed me (surprise, surprise) just because she was only involved since she was bored. Who just gets bored then decides to follow a man who you met trying to steal your mothers car and then rob banks with him? That is just weird to me and one of those situations that I have been taught to avoid. I mean, I guess it would be enticing to participate in something that will give you a rush. If you're looking for that kind of rush just take a bad picture of your friend and run away. Wait, I forgot they didn't have IPhone's in those days. Dear God! What is wrong with me! I have also prided myself and not being obsessed with technology like most people these days and here I am talking about IPhone's in Bonnie and Clyde! Sometimes I think that I was born in the wrong era and this movie is from the era I wished I had lived through. It is just so different from our lifestyle today. I am getting off track. So the ending is sad because they are all either maimed or dead. Sorry spoiler alert! Still a good movie to watch even though you know the end. It also struck me as odd that they just randomly ran into C.W Moss who was working at a gas station and just joined their crew with Clyde's brother and his wife Blanche. Talk about the third wheel there! I loved the little cat fights between Bonnie and Blanche because they represent how women still act today. They are just annoyed with each other for really no reason but they can't stand each other. That was really fun to watch and use my own experiences to connect with it. All in all, this is a movie for men and women, boys and girls, so when you are thinking of the next movie to watch with your dog or your significant other, pick this movie.
