Abstract

Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were two known bank robbers and gas stations who lived through the turbulent years of economic depression in the United States. The Barrow Gang Bloody shook trade and was seen as a sign of rebellion against misery in times of crisis. From 1932, when the first murder, they began to be fiercely persecuted by the U.S. police. In 1934, in a shootout with police in Louisiana, they were murdered. In 1967, during which young people challenged and defied the power, the story of the couple comes to the fore again with the film Bonnie and Clyde. Warren Beatty (Clyde) and Faye Dunaway (Bonnie) became the symbols of a changing youth attitute against the impositions and social morality. Given the above, the purpose of this paper is to analyze to what extent the film Bonnie and Clyde is a biography of the famous couple of robbers U.S. and at the same time, a representation of youth in the revolutionary year 1960.
