Answer 1

Movie "Bonny and Clyde" is entertaining and does parallel the life of the notorious couple. They received "cowboy justice," which was, unfortunately, typical of the era. The movie has been voted as one of the top 250 movies ever produced. I really enjoy Bonnie and Clyde, and another great one is "Dillinger."

Goofs and Errors for the Movie Bonnie and Clyde:

Anachronisms: As the gang leave a bank robbery in 1934, a 1940 Ford fire truck almost hits their getaway car.

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The character of Ivan Moss is referred to as "Malcolm" by Bonnie in one of the final scenes.

Errors in geography: The location of the shootout where Buck Barrow is wounded is portrayed as Platte City, Iowa, both on the sign at the tourist court, and on the Sheriff's cars (Iowa license plates, and "Platte City" door decals). The real location was Dexter, Iowa, which is a small town near Des Moines.

Continuity: Blanche is eating a doughnut in the back seat during a motor scene. It goes from one bite missing to half-gone, then mysteriously back to one bite missing again.

Continuity: While Clyde is consoling Bonnie in the field (after she tries to run away), his hand is alternately on/off her shoulder between shots.

Continuity: When CW offers Eugene back his hamburger, there are several small bites taken out of it. When we cut to Eugene's reaction, it is one large bite.

Anachronisms: In a scene set in 1931, Bonnie wears bikini panties, which did not exist until 1958.

Errors in geography: While fleeing Texas law enforcement after a bank robbery, the gang drives into Oklahoma on dry land instead of over some bridge as one might expect. The substantial Red River forms the boundary between Oklahoma and the parts of Texas (northeast and north-central) in which they were active criminals. The dry-land section of the Texas-Oklahoma boundary lies to the north and east of the Texas "Panhandle" which is quite far (about 200 miles at the least) from any of their known bank robberies.

Continuity: Near the end of the movie, as they are riding on their car, Bonnie picks up a pear from a grocery bag and starts eating it. In the following shot, she shares the pear with Clyde but the pear is upside down.

Continuity: When Clyde enters the Ritts Groceries to make a robbery, Bonnie stays in the middle of the street holding a cooler bottle. But when they run toward the car the bottle disappears.

Continuity: After he calls Bonnie to follow him, Clyde turns and goes to the car. Then she calls him and points to him with her left hand, keeping her right arm by her side. The next shot shows her with her right hand touching her own shoulder.

Continuity: Otis Harris takes the gun from Davis holding it by the barrel and passes it "like this" to Clyde. In the subsequent shot Clyde is holding it by the barrel too, instead of the handle.

Continuity: When Bonnie says to C.W. that the car is a "stolen four-cylinder Ford coupe", she has her left arm leaning on the car door and the right one inside. In the following shot she has her arms crossed on the door.

Continuity: During the frustrated love scene on the bed, after he kisses Bonnie, Clyde turns to his back and puts his left hand on his chest. Next shot he takes his left hand from her chest.

Continuity: Still on the bed, after Clyde stands up, Bonnie appears with a gun near her face in close-up. The subsequent shows her standing up with no gun nearby at all.

Continuity: When Clyde is taking a picture of Buck and Blanche, he takes the cigar from his mouth and holds the camera with both hands. In the next shot, the cigar is in his mouth again.

Continuity: Inside the car, when Blanche and C.W. go to buy some food, she lights a new cigarette with the butt of the other. In the following shot the butt has disappeared.

Revealing mistakes: In the very first scene when Bonnie is flailing around her bedroom, there is an obvious jump in film just as she begins to beat the bed frame with her fist.

Answer 2

The movie followed their exploits possibly a little more accurately than most movies do. However, the movie makes them appear to be a handsome young couple in love in a time when money was almost non-existent. Also tries to pull off a little Robin Hood feeling for them

As far as I know, they never captured Texas Ranger Frank Hamer as they showed in the movie. If they had they would have killed him since they showed no mercy to any policeman that got in their way. Hamer was there when they were killed. This type of justice seems way off base nowadays but Bonnie and Clyde would certainly have killed more cops if they had just stepped out from the bushes and said" You're under arrest".

Bonnie and Clyde also had as much firepower for the two of them than the rest of the posse.. These were not innocents. neither was Blanche Barrow. Her father was a preacher but Blanche was no saint. She did get blinded in one eye during the shootout and also served time in prison as a result.

The Police and Bonnie and Clyde knew there was never going to be a surrender,arrest. court date, and times were very different then

Answer 3

I don't like it because I think it glamorizes two of the least glamorous humans in American history. Bonnie & Clyde were not poor misunderstood losers but two young people who went on a killing spree (I know, technically they were robbers, but they killed several times when there was neither a reason to or gain- plus the most they ever made in a robbery was just over $1000 and that didn't last long at all). Bonnie once killed a policeman by shooting him in the head at point blank range (after he was handcuffed) and laughing that "his head bounced just like a watermelon!", and in the movie she's portrayed as sexy, sad, and intelligent. Nah-ah.

The family of Frank Hamer, the Texas ranger played by Denver "Uncle Jesse" Pyle in the movie, sued the producers of the film and I think it was settled out of court. His character was vilified when in reality he should have been the hero: Bonnie & Clyde needed killin', because as long as they were free they were going to kill others. And the reason for the overkill in the ambush was because Bonnie & Clyde were dangerous as hell- they had a dozen guns and thousands of rounds of ammo in the car. (Remember also when you watch the movie that in their shootouts with cops- every one of those cops who are killed is somebody's son/brother/husband/dad/etc., and this was the Depression= B&C weren't persecuted, they were HORRIBLE people, a lot more like NATURAL BORN KILLERS than the movie they were in.)

Answer 4

Not that bad of a movie accurate to a point
