This movie describes the lives of Kit Carruthers and Holly Sargis based on the real-life spree killers Charles Starkweather and Caril-Ann Fugate. This is a 1973 American crime film directed by Terrence Malick. In this film Malick does a good job showing the main points in his characters' lives. For instance he showed the scenes where Kit murders Holly's father and cleaned up the scene, the killing of his friend Cato at the cabin, and their capture/end of their adventure.
They journeyed through the Midwest on their killing spree starting a new life together. In a way Kit saved Holly from a dead hometown that she wanted badly to escape [is this true?]. One thing that I found very interesting was the contrast between the two characters. Kit was a more of a rough greaser type of guy that wore a leather jacket [denim actually] and cowboy boots, meanwhile Holly was calm and quiet and wore flower print dresses and sandals.
In a way you can say that their greeting was the introduction where two worlds collide. Although Kit and Holly were recognized as dangerous and professional [???], they still were admired for their "bravery and courage" for doing everything they did. After their capture during their adventure Kit was immediately not so sure about this] put to death by the electric hair, and Holly received jail time then later married her lawyer's son.
Recall/retell, not much voice coming through, Alethia.
