i would give this movie a 8.5/10 – good film but quite repetitive

a memorable scene for me was the final scene when both Bonnie and Clyde are shot at, at the end of the film, as it shows the fear in their eyes which we don’t see often in the movie, and it was very unexpected.

a memorable shot for me was this one below as it shows them in action during a robbery and shows us their confidence in it.

‘Bonnie and Clyde’ First response

I’d give this film an 8/10

a memorable scene for me was near the start of the film, when they took a house, and then found the original owners. I liked this because it showed that despite they’re questionable morals, they still show compassion and kindness to the people who have been wronged by the law.

an Iconic scene for me was when the barrow gang went up to the couple in the car making faces, creating a very unsettling, yet humorous scene. I feel like this scene really personifies who they were, light hearted at nature, however still capable of horrible things.

Bonnie and Clyde First Response – George Blake

7/10 – I gave it this rating as I feel as if there wasn’t much to give off to be an interesting narrative. There is some good aspects with the story with the death of Clyde’s brother.

Memorable scene – the scene I found most memorable was when Bonnie and Clyde stick up the Texas Ranger, this is memorable as it provides a incentive for his appearance to matter later on in the film.

ill give the film a 9/10 i really liked it because it had a really good story line.

one memorable scene in the movie was when they humiliated the Sheriff by taking photos with him and pushing him into the lake. it really showed that they didn’t have any respect towards the police.

Explain what vertical integration and block-booking was?

Vertical integration is the term used to describe a business strategy in which a company takes ownership of two or more key stages of its supply chain so in film it’s when a Media Company owns different businesses in the same chain of production and distribution. Block-booking is a system of selling multiple films to a theatre as a unit.

Why and when did the original studio system collapse?

The studio system that thrived during Hollywood’s Golden Age died in the 1960s. Challenges in the form of pay TV, antitrust legislation, low admissions, and censorship had worn down the studios in the previous decade.

What was happening in America (and around the world) at this time?

The era was marked by the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War and antiwar protests, countercultural movements, political assassinations and the emerging “generation gap.” It was also a time of rapid economic growth, especially in the Northern and Western United States.
