Bonnie and Clyde are among America's most notorious criminals. I decided to research this pair of criminals after hearing many stories about them from my grandfather, who grew up during the time period in which the crime sprees took place. It sounded interesting as to how they would rob banks, steal cars, and kill people all over the South, however, only a few times were they convicted of the crimes. While researching Bonnie and Clyde I found it ironic that only certain cities and states were visited and struck with their fury, yet the only time something happened to them about the murders was the fatal attack by Louisiana and Texas Police that took their lives.
Hollywood as with every other crime based film, over exaggerates the truth. Look at the Bonnie and Clyde film, the producers exceed the truth and give Simi fantasy heroism to the pair. After reading history of the crimes and how many they committed I began to realize that the pair was exciting in a since of better understanding. However I do see and understand the power of the crimes and to what extent it took Bonnie and Clyde to get away with them even though it was not long lived. .
