Bonnie and Clyde

This film was an exhilarating, comical, romantic depiction of crime at its moments of vulnerability, spontaneity and ignorance. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Had I not been required to view this film for my class I'm not sure it would have been one I would have watched. However, I am grateful tot he opportunity to have seen it. While the plot line was for the most part clear and concise, i wasn't exactly sure of how the two (Bonnie and Clyde) became initially acquainted. But once their journey began, it was non stop action from start to finish, literally. There were definitely establishing shots at the start of every scenario change. The establishing shots were then followed by the two shots which confirmed the Hollywood continuity style of filming. The more members of "the gang" that were added on, the more shots were included int he shots that followed the establishing shots. What did catch me off guard was the ending shot. After Bonnie and Clyde had been murdered, there was really no re-establishing shot to close with. Unless I am misinterpreting the content of a re-establishing shot, the gentlemen who murdered them standing there, guns in hand, did not serve as much of a re-establishing shot. Despite the fact that this was the man who Bonnie and Clyde had previously humiliated, it reiterated nothing about what was going on int he scene before they had been murdered.
Overall this film was a blast to watch! I enjoyed every moment of it. I laughed and cried (well I didn't literally cry but you know what I mean), and it was truly a roller coaster of events from start to finish!
