Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow | Bonnie and Clyde

The iconic 1967 movie Bonnie and Clyde was the start of the appearance of grounded and gritty stories in US cinemas. It also started the new era for movies, introducing an on-screen couple of rebels. It’s a landmark film that broke a lot of cinematic taboos and even considered a “rallying cry.” The film was based on Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow’s real story, which was portrayed by Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty.

The film is about a legendary bank-robbing couple, Bonnie and Clyde. They traveled across the Central United States during the Great Depression. Although they’re mostly known as bank robbers, they preferred to rob small stores and rural gas stations. Their names even gave birth to a colloquial expression, which means a highly loyal couple who would do everything for each other, even if it’s illegal or a crime.
