Bonnie and Clyde was reinvented in an updated film released in 2013,taking a non-fictional story and over dramatizing it into a cult fiction movie. The main characters Bonnie Parker (Holliday Grainger) and Clyde Barrow (Emile Hirsch) are two people who partake in one of the most villainous bank-robbing crime streaks in history, although some historians would disagree. Bonnie and Clyde thought it was right for them to kill and rob people of their goods to help them survive the great depression. While the movie was entertaining it focused more on an unrealistic over dramatization of the true story of Bonnie and Clyde and because of that many key details were overlooked.

Still caught up with the vision of her beauty that haunts him he finally gets a date with her. Bonnie being a young lady was fed up with her waitressing job, thus leading her to follow Clyde and turn her life to his desires.

In the film there are several scenes where the audience is made known that during this time period of crime spree the United States was not doing well economically and financially. When Bonnie and Clyde first begin their crime spree “adventure” the country is broke, banks did not have money due to the stock market crash, not including all the unemployed Americans.

Bonnie and Clyde were gunned down in Louisiana and as mentioned in the movie they were both shot thirty-seven times. The audience could say perhaps they both wanted it to end this way, for their life on the run was non-stop stress. The Bonnie and Clyde film released on 2013 seemed less concerned about the factual and historical part of Bonnie and Clyde’s life. It was more focused on representing a good story to entertain the audience. More over the film being overly dramatized it would be a great watch, a bit elongated but

  • The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Film Analysis

    976 Words  | 4 Pages

    Classic western films dominated the screen in the 1960s, with major productions such as The Good, The Bad and the Ugly (1966) and Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) directed by Sergio Leone, The Magnificent Seven (1960) directed by John Sturges, and what is considered a well-known western produced in this area, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne and James Stewart as the main characters. While The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance meets all the criteria to classify it as a classic western, that being set in a culture structured around codes of honor and personal justice and gunslingers in every scene of the movie, the film lacks many characteristics to classify it as a well-rounded film. Set in the late 1800s, a senator by the name of Ransom Stoddard visits this town in the middle of nowhere with his wife to attend the funeral of one of his old friends Tom Doniphan. Many question the reasoning for the appearance of Ransom because not many know who Tom Doniphan was. With the local newspaper harassing him for answers as to who Tom Doniphan was, Ransom gives in and tells the tale through the use of flashbacks.
