Bonnie & Clyde - 1967

Had this on my list for sometime and finally got to it. This movie reminded me of watching Oh Brother Where Art Thou for the first time. You need a couple of days after the film is over to think about why the director did things a certain way in the movie, why actors played their parts the way they did, and why the movie was so different than any other movie you have ever seen. This movie stands out because it is in a different class- it doesn't fit anywhere. Yes you learn what the true story is of the famous couple, but you also learn about their love affair and how demented and strange it was. Bonnie wanted to rush of loving a crook but longed to be a good girl. The misfits that follow them around are just strange- one of them played by Gene Hackman. Billy Wilder has a small but funny role. I would rate this PG-13 if it came out today. Very strange but effective movie. 3 stars.
