Kind of like the actresses who look nothing like Hitlery Rotten Clinton who've been named to portray her in various projects.
The Greatest Crime Couple in the history of this republic, Bill and Hillaryous Rotten Criminal, make Bonnie and Clyde look mild by comparison.
Any more than “White Heat”? (1949)
I’m not too sure about ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ changing cinema.
IMO that film and others glamorized criminals to a certain extent but in the end Good Conquered Evil.
To my mind, not being an ardent movie goer, the movie that portrayed bad guys as lovable, funny, justifiable is Pulp Fiction.
I saw B&C in a little theater in Terre Haute Indiana. I was picking my sister up from Purdue. Just killing time, went to the show. I had no idea what the movie was about.
NO EXPECTATIONS!
I thought it was a GREAT movie! As history has PROVED.
“Dirt in the fuel line, just blowed it away”. I still use that line to this day.
How anyone can say it was a “lousy” movie, is beyond me.
Historical? Sort of, but it was a MOVIE, not a documentary.
