Newsreel footage of the bullet-ridden automobile in which gangsters Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were gunned down. The footage was taken only minutes after the shooting stopped. Tags:BonnieClydecar Added: 20th January 2008 Views: 434 Rating: Posted By:Lava1964
When you watch the theatrical film based on their lives with Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty...then you see this, it makes you realize once again that the real events didn't revolve around romance and excitement. I think Hollywood needs to stop glorifying these people just for the sake of selling a ticket.
Indeed, they were ruthless outlaws. I remember watching an interview with the daughter of a police officer killed by the Barrow gang. She couldn't understand why some people considered Bonnie and Clyde to be heroes.
I'm just glad I was brought up in a country where weapons and firearms are not so plentiful. I also agree that Hollywood likes to over emphasise villains as heroes. No Robin Hood here, even he was a crook, hence the name HOOD.
