Bonnie & Clyde

Bonnie and Clyde takes place in the 1960's. It's about a man who is literally stupid for trying to rob banks during the great depression. Bonnie is a young women who thinks her sexuality will get her to wherever she needs to go. When Clyde introduces Bonnie to robbing banks at first she wasn't too sure, then she got used to it. Finally they got their appliances to help them with the robberies. The mechanic and Clyde's in laws assisted them with the robberies. Clyde's sister in law made me most annoyed throughout the movie. This movie was one of the most interesting at this time because nobody thought a man and a women could rob banks together. I think the main point of this movie is to show a bandwagon. When money is involved people will do anything just like leave their brother shot after they're running from the law. The main idea of this movie I think is to show that you can only get away with something so man times before you either get caught or someone starts to notice. The main problem the couple faced at first was when Clyde didn't want to make love, Bonnie on the other hand was made to make love. She thought that's how she would feel love. You know through a man.. Clyde I think showed her something different something sort of like an excitement. Everyone would fall in love with someone who makes them feel special or makes them feel like sex isn't the only thing they needed. Clyde got off on being a bad  guy, even though deep down he was nowhere near a bad guy. He was the opposite, He cared but just didn't know how to show it. They traveled through all of the United States in search of a big bank to rob, but since it was a great depression there wasn't that much money to take. Imagine stealing 200 dollars (in the 60's this is a lot) and having to split it with 4 different people. Then on top of it you have a female with the brother crying every 10 minutes because she's scared (I don't think she should've been involved) the process would be hard. I wouldn't try to put myself in that predicament.

Bonnie and Clyde started a toxic relationship from the first day they met. They both did some things that I don't think a lot of people would do. But they were in love, maybe not my ideal idea of love but they were in love. They did everything together, and Clyde went crazy whenever Bonnie tried to get away. When you ride together, you die together. The picture below is what the car looked like the day they finally caught Bonnie & Clyde, they killed them together.
