It's been a long time since I forced myself to watch this obligation, and even longer since I argued about this topic about how overrated it is. However, there is no limit to over interpretation. Why couldn't the whole thing take place in Bonnie's imagination if the key scenes of her meeting Clyde are so subjectified? Oh, I get it.

The inseparable duo of Bonnie and Clyde, whose relationship with each other was often more tenuous and strange than that of Will and Grace. Bonnie and Clyde is a film that does not lack both romantic and crime atmosphere. The plot flew by, I wasn't bored because there was always something going on. All the actors were excellent and convincing – I really couldn't get over the hysterical Estelle Parsons at one point as she was running madly down the street during a shootout and I really had to laugh. Even though I knew from the beginning how this was all going to end, I still followed the plot closely. Well, I have to say, the ending was a blast. I mustn't forget to mention the great country style music that added to the overall atmosphere of the film. In short, a film that may have some flaws, but it really got me, especially because of the relationship between the leading couple and Estelle Parsons.

Amoral, rebellious entertainment with a stellar, very likeable cast. At the heart of the film lies the incredible chemistry between Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. It’s something like Easy Rider, just with robbing and shooting instead of taking drugs and having sex. It’s remarkable how the creators managed to treat such a serious topic in such a light and relatable fashion. I’m sure Tarantino loves this film.

An excellent gangster flick that certainly had a great influence on the next generation of filmmakers. Faye Dunaway was damn handsome, and Gene Hackman, in perhaps his most likeable role, gives the film the necessary insight and comfort. The ubiquitous gunfights and car chases are depicted rather crudely for their time, and the tragic ending is chilling, sad, yet somehow right and necessary. It’s a shame that only few people have watched it. I can only recommend it.

It's not a film that completely blows me away, but it still can't be denied that it has something incredibly rebellious and gangster-like in it, even though those two were doomed to die from the beginning. Yet the story of this duo is immortal, and in this rendition with such great actors, it simply doesn't age.
