fidraisle-1 This is another of those films that gets a "1" only because it's not possible to give it a "0". Normally, I am critical of a film if it is meant to be historic and the costuming fails abysmally. This is not true in this case. If there is one thing that could be praised, it would be the very well done costuming. But sadly, like another "historical" series ("Outlander") though the costuming is brilliant, the story line is absolute rubbish. The story of Bonnie and Clyde is fascinating enough without the voice-over, the pure fantasy story that was woven through this. I tried about three different times to watch this (thank goodness for Netflix) and I gave up. The 1967 version with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway was not good, but it was far, far better than this nonsense.

speedylara-121-589113 I love historically based movies. I also worked in the movie business and know they are incredibly difficult to make without people getting super critical. If you go and study the true story of Bonnie and Clyde, try to imagine making a movie out of it - it would be 12 hours long and pretty slow at times. I think this film did OK with focusing on the basic main events of the story but it left a lot out and fuzzied the truth here and there in order to do it.It might have been interesting to see some of the details that were missed but when I started thinking about them, I thought - my gosh, the movie would have rambled forever.... the timeline was basically on target and it seems like the writers, director and producers must have made a true time line and then figured out what things to take out...That is why they say it was BASED on a true story - people focus on the word TRUE and forget the word BASED.Someone mentioned that the real characters were not attractive - though the actors are attractive - when I look at pictures of the actual people, they did a good job at resembling them. Remember, there was no photo-shop in those days and if anything, perhaps Parker was a little skinny. But in the pictures, she looks like she tried to dress up. And I think if they hadn't been so poor - in nicer clothes and nicer hair cuts etc - they might have been attractive to a degree in real life - I think its unfair to look at photos from the 1930s and make those claims.Within the scope of the story and the writing, I thought the acting was very good. I felt like Clyde's character was not developed right in the writing. That is not the actor's fault. I felt like Bonnie's character was richly developed and the actress was very good.Pretty much the rest of the cast could have been anyone but I am sure William Hurt and Holly Hunter came in to draw attention to the movie.The drawbacks - since the story made a lot of guesswork as to what was really going on in their minds, I wished they had made Clyde's character more developed like Bonnies. I wish they had brought her poetry into it. I wish they had really explained how POOR Clyde had been - how his family had to live under a truck as kids. How he ended up in jail originally and that he killed someone in prison who raped him.Having been raped in prison and then being in love with Bonnie - it makes sense how he would be especially attached to her and swayed by her to keep robbing people.The movie takes snapshots from their story in order and fills in the gaps with hyphenated information so it ends up not being correct. But I think you get a good idea of BASICALLY what the story was and understand that at the core of the whole thing was a relationship between these two young people. I cant help but feel a lot of sadness for the victims because they had to deal with all the press - all the people who went to see the killers' dead bodies... I wish there would be some background shared on the people who were innocently killed.

TxMike Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker really were two armed robbers in the 1930s. They really did kill a number of people and really did die in an ambush in rural Louisiana in 1934. Over the years some exaggerated stories have popped up here and there, and the writers of this version chose to use some of the exaggerations to make a more interesting story. Be that as it may, and with the disclaimer at the ending credits that many things are fictionalized, taken as a whole it is a very interesting and well-made version of the Bonnie and Clyde story.Emile Hirsch is Clyde Barrow, only about 20 or 21 when this story starts in 1930. It was also the start of the great depression, work was scarce, money was scarce, and petty thief Barrow eventually turned to armed robbery. He was arrested more than once and sent to jail. It is there he had such bad experiences that he became even more hardened and his life of crime was partly to get back at the system. But on more than one occasion he voiced an intention to "pull off one more big one and quit."Very cute young British actress Holliday Grainger is Bonnie Parker, still a teenager when she met Barrow. For whatever reasons they took to each other and soon Bonnie became Clyde's partner in crime. Grainger does a great job with the role, showing a gradual but distinct transformation in attitude as the story progresses.The other key character is William Hurt as Frank Hamer, a semi-retired lawman who was asked specifically to track down and get Bonnie and Clyde. And it is his persistence, with the help of one of Clyde's former associates, that they finally caught up with them in the rural NW Louisiana location. They made no attempt to arrest them, they just shot everything they had to make sure both of them were dead.So, even though much of the story and details surely are fabricated and not intended to be taken as fact, the core of the story over the 4 years from 1930 to 1934 is factual. I saw it as one continuous movie on Netflix streaming movies.

Bob I'll not waste your time as I've wasted enough time watching this joke of a movie. This film has the title of Bonnie and Clyde and what you get instead is a film with the most annoying soundtrack known to mankind. I would normally skip such details, but when the music doesn't ever stop, the least I can do is vent about it.Anyway, on to the film or what there was of it. If you're looking to see anything having to do with Bonnie and Clyde you've picked the wrong movie. Sure this film might read you a few sappy lines from a couple of hundred letters, but don't expect to see Bonnie or Clyde do anything. The joke that was bullets flying was not only an insult to Bonnie and Clyde, but an insult to human intelligence. I would have loved to have seen the story printed in the newspaper clippings, which the film makers was nice enough to show (instead of the real story). But that's because most of the movie portrayed Bonnie and Clyde as fashion models types. In fact, according to this movie, only thing Bonnie and Clyde actually did wrong was kiss, because that's about the only action we're allowed to see them doing.Lastly, there is a reason why they call people that star in films, actors. Because some times, they at least try to be the character, but not in this music video, no nothing like that here. Instead we get a rapid rehearsal of lines without the actors ever attempting to be in character or say the lines like there was even a point to saying them. However, in their defense,the lines were not worth saying. This film managed to skip any good parts and this is what was left over.
