Can we PLEASE talk about the symbolic, foreshadowing imagery that is used early in Bonnie and Clyde? These three shots caught my eye because I noticed a distinct similarity between them. Each of them frames our beloved Bonnie behind varying types of bars. The first and third photo uses actual types of metal bars, but the second creatively uses the gas station hose as a type of cell. My curiosity with these images was spawned by the fact that I did not know the ending of the film, so I hypothesized early that she would be caught and thrown into prison or something along those lines. This does not happen, however, I still enjoy the images and think they can still express the ending well. They still perfectly foreshadow her enjoyment (for most of the film) of the crime-driven life. After meeting Clyde, her love for her new life is rooted in her personality and this shows throughout the film. A secondary thought that I had about these images was just how they could metaphorically represent her mind being in a jailed state. In the beginning, she seems destined to live this boring, usual life in her hometown and we can see the unhappiness she carries with her regarding it (picture one). As the movie progresses, she continues to be jailed in her thoughts, only the thoughts change from scene to scene. Anyways, that’s all I have to say. I just really enjoyed the use of the close-angle shots that incorporated these metaphoric, jailing images.
