Bonnie and Clyde

Bonnie and Clyde was probably the most violent movie that has been shown in class so far. There were many scenes that went over the line set by the Code Committee. Besides breaking the code in many places, the movie was made in color, and based more on history.
The first thing that I noticed when watching the movie was the lack of care for the Movie Code. Even though it said that the shooter and the victim can't be in the same shot, this movie did it anyway. The first time that this happened was when the man who worked at the bank jumped on the get away car and Clyde shot him into the face. Another time was that this happened was when the cops were shooting up the house in Missouri and everyone bails. Buck has to keep the cops from attacking him, so he shoots one in the belly with a shotgun.
Another way that the makers of this film broke the code was through partial nudity and scenes that could be considered sexual. This happens right at the beginning of the film when Bonnie is naked and moving around in her room. Although the audience never sees her naked due to well place props in the room, we can assume that she is naked. There are scenes later in the film that give the audience the idea that sex is happening, like when Bonnie and Clyde are out in the field and then we come back to the scene and Clyde is buttoning his shirt up.
The only thing that I didn't like about the movie was that it was not very accurate. In the film it made it seem as if they were not making (stealing) a lot of money, when in reality they were able to acquire lots of money. Another thing that I didn't like about this movie was that the gang was always hanging out in houses and buildings, a good portion of this gangs time was spent out in the countryside hiding in caves and other things. These hideouts were also where they would hide their loot. I'm not positive on whether the ending of the movie was accurate, because I have heard that the two were going to pick up the mail and were ambushed at the mailbox. I could be wrong but that is what I have heard.
Overall though I liked this movie, it was full of action and had its funny moments. With a little more accuracy with the history, I believe the movie would have been better, but this could be my historian side coming out.
