Review of Bonnie & Clyde

"Based on the true story" ... is the stupidest thing they could have said when talking about this film. There is so much wrong with it historically, it's unreal. Obviously they did no research at all on this. Bonnie never killed anyone,, and she sure didn't shoot some innocent home owner in the face through a car window. In this fanciful tale,, Clyde is suddenly a saxophone player. WHAT??? Where did this come from. He also has 'second sight'.... WHAT??? Where did this come from.??? Bonnie never showed up alone at a reporters home to tell her to make sure she put her name in the paper.... WHAT?? Where did this come from. Bonnie never sent her photos to a Hollywood studio... where did that come from? In this version,, they were robbing banks all over the place. In reality Bonnie and Clyde were small town crooks who usually robbed easy targets like filling stations and convenience stores. And Bonnie never took part in an actual robbery. They inserted this ridiculous character of the female reporter on the case - which didn't happen. Did some femminists get a hold of the script and demand the facts of history be changed? Now the stupidest plot points. While staying at Methvin's father's house, Clyde hears him talking on the telephone telling someone, most likely law enforcement that they are there. And yet Bonnie and Clyde return to the same house weeks later????? Even though Clyde realizes the guy is going to turn them in.? Final scene,, i dreaded seeing this,, but yup,, they did the old 'dancing puppet' thing as Bonnie and Clyde dance around in the car as the bullets hit them. Clyde was killed outright by a single shot to the head. The rest of the bullets hitting him would have him hopping around like he was on strings. But since they did this in the original version, now it's the thing to do. Fun movie to watch, but a saxophone playing , psychic Clyde Barrow?? Whew!
