Bonnie & Clyde

So this week I got the original Bonnie and Clyde (1967), which was actually made the same year as the last movie I watch from the Fish Bowl, The Graduate.  The past 3 movies I've watched have some weird connection to the last.  Lets see if next week it happens again!

So Bonnie and Clyde is a movie depiction of the real-life crime duo Bonnie and Clyde.  They were famous for robbing banks across America and being very public about their lawlessness through photographs.  In the movie, Bonnie and Clyde form a bank-robbing group with Clyde's brother and his wife, along with C.W., a young man they met along the way of their crime spree.

Overall, the movie was good.  It had a storyline that was pretty easy to follow, but it was very predictable to me.  Bonnie was a southern girl bored with her life, while Clyde was fresh out of prison looking for excitement.  Naturally Bonnie was smitten with Clyde's wild lifestyle, and decided to impulsively leave her life behind to follow join Clyde, within a day of meeting him.  The rest of the movie follows them as they rob banks and escape from the cops.  Of course, their life of crime doesn't last forever.
