Doesn't hold up anymore, especially once you learn the truth


Bonnie and Clyde were a pair of murderous dirt bags, and Bonnie Parker was a vainglorious, cunning sociopath who enjoyed her notoriety. She wasn't the airhead, cutesy ditz as portrayed in this film. There's a reason why they were gunned down like animals.

AND LEATHERFACE WAS JUST A DUDE SEWING LAMPSHADES IN MINNESOTA...WTF DOES FACT HAVE TO DO WITH FILM?

I really liked the movie when I was very young. It's well made and entertaining. However, now that I know a lot more than I knew when I was young, I don't care for it because it attempts to make 60s-style romantic counterculture heroes out of a pair of vicious psychopaths.

Same here. When I was younger, I loved the film because I thought that they were just a couple of star-crossed lovers/goofy hicks who sort of blundered their way through their robberies and didn't really mean to kill anyone. I imagined they were good people who would've led their lives differently if given the chance. But the reality was so much different.

What an idiot. No explanation necessary.

Do you have some kind of cognitive or other personal issues that makes it very difficult for you to interact with people? I get that sense from your response. People who have emotional or mental problems tend to go off the rails like you do.

"filmcollector" apparently does have cognitive problems (what used to be called "retardation"). No explanation necessary.

"I don't care for it because it attempts to make 60s-style romantic counterculture heroes out of a pair of vicious psychopaths."

Yep.

Actually there was a made for cable movie on them that should be more to your liking. In this one they were as you state “real dirtbags” & Bonnie if anything was portrayed as the real problem out of the 2.

The name escapes me at the moment so sorry for that.

Thanks. I suppose I can just Bing the title.

Thank you but actually no. Even though it’s been a few years since I’ve posted to this thread here’s the one I was talking about. It was a made for cable movie. Actually a 2 episode mini series.
