Bonnie and Clyde (1967) 🍕🍕

How do you judge an old movie by modern standards? You can't but one measure could be to see if it does stand the test of time as in: is it still entertaining to watch today? Not particularly in this case 🤣 but there's enough weird shit that they put in it considering it was the 60s you can appreciate they were trying to do something unique for the time. Also, it appears to be the first movie where they tried to make more realistic shooting scenes, including the sound and blood splatter, and those are pretty fun.

Bonnie and Clyde (1967)

Bonnie and Clyde does not feel like it was made in 1967. Not only because of its brazen and honest displays of sex and violence. This biographical film shows the allure and harsh realities of a life of crime. It's no wonder it was a game-changer.

In the middle of the Great Depression, Clyde Barrow (Warren Beatty) catches the eye of Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway). Moments later, they're partners in crime. The duo’s spree of robberies captures the attention of the nation. As the gang’s crimes become more ambitious and violent, the police’s net begins to tighten around them.

This is a very romantic picture. I don’t mean that the love story will sweep you off your feet. I mean that it’s an idealized story, the kind of tale that makes you go "I want that". Clyde Barrow is handsome, but he’s not the type of man that would rob a bank and then greedily paw at Bonnie, he’s more of a sensitive guy. Bonnie is bored by her job as a waitress and lusts for adventure. When she embarks on this crime spree, the man she chooses to be with becomes her lover; her partner. They're equal contributors in their new life of crime. This life includes fame, fortune, wild chases across the country, and a total disregard for rules. When you see them together, you’re sold. In a time when banks were seen as villains who destroyed so many dreams, you understand why Bonnie and Clyde became folk heroes.

And then, reality sets in. This picture-perfect couple walking into a reputable establishment and demanding money at gunpoint is so out of place many people call the lover's bluff and pay dearly for it. They're a celebrity couple. For some reason, you expected them to be friendly which makes the violence doubly shocking. You don’t expect to see people getting blasted in the face and fall down into the dirt, dead. You were cheering for them a minute ago. Suddenly they’re violent murderers? You don’t know how to feel. You’re so deeply invested by that point you feel like part of the gang but how can you justify cheering for them to ride happily into the sunset? It must've been exactly how the real-life people of the time felt.

The performances are iconic and memorable. One look at a character and you're immediately immersed in their personality and history. It’s not only the way dialogue is delivered, it’s the body language, the faces Bonnie makes when she first spots Blanche Barrow (Estelle Parsons), or the awkward manner that Clyde and his brother Buck (Gene Hackman) talk about their romantic exploits. Also iconic are the cinematic techniques showcased throughout, the use of real photographs, the recreations of historical moments, and the editing - particularly during the conclusion. What an ending this picture has! It's unforgettable.

Everyone should see Bonnie and Clyde at least once. Firstly, because of the way it pioneered cinema. It’s one of the first films to feature squibs (small explosive charges with stage blood to simulate realistic bullets) and to depict a complicated sexual relationship between a man and a woman. Then, there's the entertainment value. It’s a study of three-dimensional characters that feel real! With its modern cinematic techniques and immortal scenes, Bonnie and Clyde has aged very well.  (On DVD, May 12, 2017)

[waiting-on-a-dream]

Penny for your thoughts?

More… I want more oc opinions. Do I look like someone who would be satisfied with just this? @silvoila

So anyway, I assign to you~ Violet, Mahira, and Irene!

Faye Arabell

Her character design is super cool! And I think your idea to give her Tinkerbell's palette, but reversed, was really creative! Her hair looks so fluffy...Makes me wanna ruffle it. (─‿─)

I find it interesting how one of her hobbies is cooking chicken porridge. Does chicken porridge have some kind of significance for her? A nostalgic comfort food maybe?

Her friend that she fell out with at RSA. (◕‿◕) I wonder what happened? I hope you plan to write about that one day, or have her mention it? I'll be eagerly waiting!

Estelle Ulrich

EEEEEE her red braids and blue eyes are so cute!! Peak character design, I love her palette so much. And her outfits. (´♡▽♡`) She's got the drip, I'll give her that. Give me some tips please~

I hate to say it but her UM is basically Marinette's lucky charm from Miraculous Ladybug (◑‿◐). Yes, that was the first thing I thought of when I read about it. (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

Why does she rarely show everyone her different side? "Not everyone would believe the 'maiden as mad as hatter’ is just an ordinary girl" makes me think that she takes pride in being/acting weird, as if that's her persona that she chooses to show to the world. Does she do it because it makes her stand out? Does she believe that everyone will only pay attention to her if she acts weird? I'm so curious...

Mistral Amaryllis

If everyone puts up their guard up around Mistral, I probably will too. She has this elegance that would make me awkward around her, and her bouts of old wisdom certainly don't help. (◉‿◉)

I really wanna know more about her backstory though! Her reaction to Xenon's nickname for her intrigued me a lot! She's half-fae, and has had plenty of fun experiences, right? ╰(▔∀▔)╯

Ehehe, since you pointed out that I'm too nice to give Rayyan the wasted potential box, I decided to do it for Mistral. (￣个￣) This is a sign to start writing more for her. /j She's just so intriguing!

Vera Aurea

Bree, I love you so much, therefore I also love your twst self-insert. <3 First of all, she's so cute!!!!! (灬♥ω♥灬) I love her pink hair and pink/blue eyes, its such a cute colour scheme. Asjdskjsjksjk I'm still cooing over her picrew profile. ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡

Ooh~ She's got a sassy and boldly playful side, huh? Is she the kind of girl that tries to be a matchmaker for her friends? I fear her power... I bet she'd make a great wingwoman though.

H-How is her talent sleep talking? (⊙▽⊙) Does she talk a lot? Talk really fast? Manage to hold conversations with others even in her sleep? I need answers, Bree! /lh

[hedgehog-moss]

do you ever read scifi or fantasy in french? i am trying to read more sff that was originally published not in english but it's not easy to find 💀

I do! It’s not my favourite genre but one of my friends loves it so I read a bunch of SFF books every year ahead of her birthday to try and find a gift for her. I’m glad I do this because it’s allowed me to discover N.K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy which was amazing, and I don’t know if I would have picked it up otherwise!

Here are some French-language authors I’ve read or plan to read (unfortunately English translations are few and far between :( I bolded the names for which I found English translations—if you read in another language you can check out the non-bolded authors, there are often translations available in other languages long before English ones)

When it comes to classics you've got Pierre Boulle (Planet of the Apes of course; also Garden on the Moon, which is (deservedly imo) less known), Jacques Spitz (La Guerre des mouches—it was translated but not into English), René Barjavel (The Ice People, Ravage, Future Times Three—I read them a long time ago but I remember them as very sexist even by French classic standards), Bernard Lenteric (La nuit des enfants rois), Alain Damasio (La Horde du Contrevent—maybe too recent to be a classic but it’s everywhere. I was surprised to find no English translation!), Bernard Werber (I feel like he rehashes the same 3 ideas again and again but some of his earlier stuff was fun), Alexandre Arnoux (Le règne du bonheur), Jules Verne of course, Stefan Wul (Oms en série which was adapted into the film La Planète sauvage—Fantastic Planet in English. I like the film better!) And some I haven’t read: Georges-Jean Arnaud, Serge Brussolo (I liked his Peggy Sue series when I was in middle school but it spooked me so much I haven’t dared to pick up any of his SFF for adults, like Les semeurs d’abîmes), Élisabeth Vonarburg.

Newer authors: Estelle Faye (L’arpenteuse de rêves, Un éclat de givre—I tend to like her worldbuilding more than her plots); Sandrine Collette (The Forests—if you count speculative fiction as SFF) (I didn’t like it at all personally but others might), Jean-Philippe Jaworski (I really liked Janua Vera; didn't like Gagner la guerre but it was mainly because I have a low tolerance for rape scenes in fantasy books) (he’s about to be translated into English according to his editor), Stéphane Beauverger (Le déchronologue)

More authors I haven't yet read: Pierre Pevel (The Cardinal's Blades—I've been told it's "17th century Paris with dragons"), Romain Lucazeau (Latium), Laurent Genefort (Lum’en), Christian Charrière (La forêt d’Iscambe), Roland Wagner (La saison de la sorcière), Aurélie Wellenstein (Mers Mortes—I love the synopsis for this one), Magali Villeneuve (La dernière Terre, trilogy)

And non-French, non-anglo SFF authors: Maryam Petrosyan (my review of the Gray House last year was that I understood maybe 1/3 of it but I liked it anyway!), Hao Jingfang (haven’t read her yet), Arkady & Boris Strugatsky (idem), Jaroslav Melnik (I’ve read Espace lointain (originally Далекий простір) but didn’t like it much), Andreas Eschbach (The Carpet Makers), Walter Moers (I read The City of Dreaming Books back when I was still learning German and found it very charming), Liu Cixin (I loved The Three-Body Problem but The Dark Forest was so sexist it made me not want to pick up the third volume), Lola Robles (El informe Monteverde, translated as Memoirs of an Interstellar Linguist), Elaine Vilar Madruga (Fragmentos de la Tierra Rota), Tatiana Tolstaya (The Slynx), Karin Tidbeck (Amatka), Emmi Itäranta (Memory of Water, The Moonday Letters), Angélica Gorodischer (I’ve read Kalpa Imperial and found it only so-so but it always takes me a while to warm up to characters or a setting so I struggle with short story collections. I’ll still give Trafalgar a try) Also my favourite fantasy book as a kid was Michael Ende’s Neverending Story, I was obsessed with it. I re-read it in the original German a few years ago and it was still great.

#ask #book recs #i feel like sff has long had a poor reputation in france. like it's seen as 'not real literature' #not necessarily by readers but by literary awards and mainstream outlets that promote books #the genre doesn't get a lot of attention from those so it's hard for authors to become well-known #it's often seen as a genre for kids and teenagers—i know i had an easier time finding sff books by french authors when i was younger #scifi for primary school kids like christian lamblin's le survivant or philippe ebly's space operas in bibliothèque verte #or sff for middle school kids: the peggy sue series; linus hoppe by a-l bondoux; more recently the nuées series by nathalie bernard #but yeah in the adult sff aisle of nonspecialised bookshops it's mostly anglo authors + always the same handful of french ones

Bonnie and Clyde (1967) Blog Essay

By: Jillian Arnold

"This here's Miss Bonnie Parker. I'm Clyde Barrow. We rob banks."

The film, Bonnie and Clyde, is a well-known and controversial film that has been talked about for decades. The film follows a waitress, Bonnie Parker, as she falls in love with a criminal named Clyde Barrow, and together they begin a life of crime with each other in 1934. The film follows their life of crime as they rob Banks and pick up other people for their gang such as Buck Barrow, Clyde’s brother, and his wife, Blanche, as well as their getaway driver C.W. Moss. together, they form the barrel gang and fulfill a life of crime with robbing banks, stealing cars, and murder all through the country. The movie action keeps you on your toes throughout the entire film as they have close calls with the police catching them and as they go through the ups and downs of a life of crime.

The film was directed by Arther Penn and starred Warren Beatty as Clyde Barrow and Faye Dunaway as Bonnie Parker. Even with the film’s R rating, it still did well in the box office and has become a beloved film. The film released on August 13th, 1967 and made $50,700,000 domestically, even with the film’s $2,500,000 budget. The film had 22 wins and 29 nominations, with Estelle Parson winning Best Actress in a Supporting Role at the Oscars and winning Best Cinematography at the Oscars as well. 

The film is believed to follow the true story of Bonnie and Clyde, but in reality it is less than 5% historically accurate. Bonnie and Clyde did not emerge as full-blown figures that were instantly popular and were in every newspaper. In reality, they rarely tried to rob banks and  in reality, their burglaries were committed in mom-and-pop grocery stores and filling stations along the back roads. What made them so popular was they were robbers during the Great Depression and made a bigger impact on people because everyone was so poor at the time and struggling. There are also other inaccuracies in the film, such as Bonnie had married at a young age and never got divorced while Clyde had done prison time early on and was on parole when he met Bonnie. The film did have its accuracies to their true story such as how honestly depicted the number of police and guards to it died in their bank robberies because Bonnie and Clyde had no aversions to kill when they thought they needed to.

An image of the real Bonnie and Clyde in the 1930s.

The film in 1967 was so controversial to audiences because the film opened the floodgates to heighten graphic violence in cinema and TV and de-glamorized what it means to die by being shot by bullets. The violence on this level had never been seen in the media before as well as the nudity in the film. The film was also controversial because of the release during the social unrest, the Vietnam war, and the civil rights movements in the United States. During the year there were protests and riots over America standings in the Vietnam war, which caused hostility and unease over the nation. There was also unjustness and unease with segregation in the unfair treatment of people of different races. With the violence happening in America at the time and the amount of violence in the film, it could’ve made people uneasy about the unstable times.  But the unstable times could’ve also made people want to go to the movies, since it’s a classic thing to do with friends or family, so that’s also why I could’ve been a massive success. 

People protesting on the streets about America’s standing in the Vietnam war and how they want America to pull out of it for the well-being of America and Vietnam. 

Photo of African Americans fighting for fair treatment and to be equal to the white man because they shouldn’t be treated differently due to their skin tone. 

The film was a controversial, but conventional film because it was based on real people, and the characters were portrayed by stars of Hollywood. The film handled portraying the real events of the story well and kept it historically accurate and with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, it kept the story clear and interesting the whole time. Even though the film is conventional, it does not take away from all it’s earned and how great of a film it is, then and now. 

“Why? What do you mean, ‘Why?’ Because you’re different, that’s why. You know, you’re like me. You want different things. You got somethin’ better than bein’ a waitress.”

@maddiesbookshelves' 2023 Reading Challenge Wrap-Up

Last year I managed to read 23/24 books in @maddiesbookshelves' reading challenged (and this year I managed to put off this wrap-up for a month). I know Maddie's goal wasn't to finish all 24 in a year but I'm a show-off so I tried and had lots of fun!

Hits

Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club, Megan Gail Coles - as mentioned in my 23 in 2023 Wrap-Up, the best literary fiction I read last year

Nettle & Bone, T. Kingfisher - exceedingly cozy

Conversations with Friends, Sally Rooney - so glad I did this challenge because I don't think I would've read this one last year otherwise. Stellar literary fiction about hot mess Frances who is nonetheless proven lovable by the end :)

The Hidden Witch, Molly Knox Ostertag - the second book in such a cute and affirming middle grade graphic novel series

The Secret History, Donna Tartt - another book from my 23 in 2023, absolutely as worth it as the hype makes it seem (I still think of Richard having his hypothermic boy winter routinely)

Giovanni's Room, James Baldwin - belongs on every list of queer classics, a cutting examination of what gender means to both gay and straight people

Good books

Blood Like Fate, Liselle Sambury - a good sequel, especially with regards to character work

Ocean's Echo, Everina Maxwell - I read Winter's Orbit last week to confirm my suspicions that Ocean's Echo it not Maxwell's best work - funny and engaging nonetheless

Breakfast at Tiffany's, Truman Capote - when he feels like it Capote really can write

The Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafon - exceedingly gothic

The City of Brass, S. A. Chakraborty - I remember nothing about the plot but I did have fun reading this series

The Empire of Gold, S. A. Chakraborty

Books I have quite frankly forgotten everything about

Scepter of the Ancients, Derek Landy

Squire, Nadia Shammas & Sarah Alfageeh

Far Sector, N. K. Jemisin

Verdammt lebendig: Medusa, Lucia Herbst

L'Arpenteuse de rêves, Estelle Faye

Books I am conflicted about

Dune, Frank Herbert - a decent examination of the hero's journey coated in three layers of orientalism, misogyny, and homophobia. I will not be continuing with the books, although I think I'll watch the movies

Learwife, J. R. Thorp - literary shakespeare fanfic about the world's curmudgeonliest woman

Bitter disappointments

The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald - profoundly uncomfortable

After the Victorians, A. N. Wilson - profoundly biased

The Way of Kings, Brandon Sanderson - for a 1200 page book you'd think I'd be invested in the story

Book I didn't get to

The Origins of Political Order, Francis Fukuyama - still want to read this one someday
