"tearin' down the highway like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde"
We watched Bonnie and Clyde in my film class tonight. It was actually a really good movie. It was made better though, of course, by the twice mentioned Joplin, Missouri. I knew that they had one of their famous gun battles with the police there and a lot of their photos (including these I posted) were made famous by the Joplin Globe...but it was cool to be talked about in the movie. :-)
I wikipedia-ed it when I got home and found some more cool stuff. I think it's really neat how they took pictures of themselves a lot. (Oddly enough Bonnie kind of reminded me of me. haha.)
"On March 22, 1933, Clyde's brother Buck was granted a full pardon and released from prison. By April, he and his wife Blanche were living with W.D. Jones, Clyde, and Bonnie in a temporary hideout in Joplin, Missouri-according to some accounts, merely to visit and attempt to talk Clyde into giving himself up. As was common with Bonnie and Clyde, their next brush with the law arose from their generally suspicious behavior, not because their identities were discovered.
...
The Barrow Gang escaped the police at Joplin, but W.D. Jones was wounded, and they had left most of their possessions at the rented apartment - including a camera with an exposed roll of pictures. The film was developed by the Joplin Globe, and yielded many now famous photos. Afterward, Bonnie and Clyde used coats and hats to cover the license plates of their stolen vehicles when taking pictures."
They look so cute and happy.
That's them...dead. Creepy.
You should watch the video, it was filmed right after they shot Bonnie and Clyde to death. It's eerie.
