I havent seen much of Hilary Duff's acting, but I dont think she will be able to pull a role like Bonnie Parker off.Lexiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11674812778087378557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-11282283441316043422010-05-21T09:40:22.833-04:002010-05-21T09:40:22.833-04:00Yeah, the Hilary casting choice is silly.

Lexie, I also read that the new flick is NOT supposed to be a remake of the late 60s film, but if that is true, why do they insist on making Hilary-as-Bonnie look EXACTLY like Faye Dunaway!?!? :)BaronessVonVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329735134543431231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-69159808834668848832010-05-19T21:46:43.439-04:002010-05-19T21:46:43.439-04:00Ya, I was really disappointed to find out that Hil...Ya, I was really disappointed to find out that Hilary Diff is going to play Bonnie. I just dont think she has the right amount of talent to play that role. Haha, ya I thought it was ironic as well for Beatty to be playing someone who wasnt a "loverboy". I liked the movie so Im not looking forward to a remake (although they claim its not a remake, but rather more information about the same story), why must they remake so many good movies! Good post and I love your Bonnie inspired outfit too.Lexiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11674812778087378557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-19214767376980934252010-05-19T14:25:24.307-04:002010-05-19T14:25:24.307-04:00I'd love to read more about these two, i find ...I'd love to read more about these two, i find them so fascinating.

I was very intrigued to, but ultimately I didn't like how (from the pictures I've seen) it still looks very 60's (for example, her hair). I wish it was just a bit more true to the era, but man is she gorgeous and her clothes are just as if not more gorgeous.Tess, That'll Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409889556460779541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-2262330787653209792010-05-19T07:15:07.388-04:002010-05-19T07:15:07.388-04:001930s Girls: Yes, I know exactly what you mean. S...1930s Girls: Yes, I know exactly what you mean. Still distinctly 60s in some ways but not as over the top 60s as other period films from this decade<br /><br />Trixie: I know...eeks!<br /><br />Dizzy Dame: thank you SO much for this info! fascinating! I was pretty sure YOU were Dizzy Dame but couldn't find the pics on your blog, so referenced your flickr stream instead (hope that's okay!). Just the best photos! Side note: the movie was really weird with its allusion to Clyde's aversion to being a "loverboy," then his comment that he doesn't like boys or anything, then the eventual consummation of their sexual relationship just before the film's epic climax. Seems like they were using it as a plot device more than anything. Your info above helps put some of this in context, for sure!<br /><br />Pixie: yeah, her poetry is quite interesting. Maybe worth pursuing as a neat unit in an English class?<br /><br />Andi: I'm a super stickler for historical authenticity or "accuracy" only when it relates to an historical figure or a literary work that I have especial partiality towards....costuming especially can affect my overall thoughts on a film, too. <br /><br />Betty Lou: I only heard of these two through popular culture. Never learned about them in school. A report would have been really really interesting to pursue!<br /><br />Twila Jean: Yeah, I totally agree. It was definitely 60s-does-30s. I couldn't find pictures, but even "Bonnie's" cotton feedsack dresses were fitted in a way that I can only describe as really late 60s. I had seen so many people inspired by the looks in the movie here in the blog world that I went into the film knowing what the costumes were going to look like. I personally prefer authentic 30s fashion more often than not, but I can appreciate the influence Bonnie's outfits had and still have on fashion lovers! I just hope people interested in a real 30s look don't go by this movie as an accurate reflection of Depression Era fashion<br /><br />Riikka: yeah, it was really riveting to watch! I couldn't get over how young Gene Hackman looked ;) Really good acting and the film as a whole really grew on me. I might have to watch it again (and again!)BaronessVonVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329735134543431231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-42311029577974128432010-05-19T03:30:15.885-04:002010-05-19T03:30:15.885-04:00Bonnie and Clyde is one of my all time favorite mo...Bonnie and Clyde is one of my all time favorite movies!

Don't go by this movie. <br />I think they originally wanted Clyde to seem like he had some homosexual tendencies in this movie.. which he never was,he was raped in prison and eventually murdered the man because of it. They actually cut the homosexual tones they had for the movie and just made him sexually frustrated/low libido instead. <br /><br />Your best read is.

Her costumes look way too '60 for my liking, but I admit I think they did a better job at creating a period look than some other films of that decade - where, no matter what time period it's supposed to be, the women just scream "1960s!" with nude lipstick, totally straight, piled high hair, and huge false eyelashes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
