Bonnie and Clyde was an amazing film. It showed rhythmic editing especially at the final scene where Bonnie and Clyde are gunned down from people hiding in the bushes across the street. The killing of Bonnie and Clyde was so dramatic and featured many cuts to each of their facial expressions to the people in the bushes that were about to catch them for good.
The short cuts make the scene go at a faster pace, especially when the shooting starts. It picks up right after the man who set them up dove underneath his truck to hide for safety so he wouldn't get shot accidentally.
The reaction shots of Bonnie and Clyde were interesting as they kept being shot constantly by the non stop bullets that kept shooting until they were both fallen to the ground unable to move. The way Clyde died was intriguing because he fell the the ground and after he was shot more than 30 times he was still able to roll over on his side to his final breath. As Bonnie fell out the car door she was able to die in an awkward position with her hand hanging out the car and her body halfway falling out of the side of the car. It was a very dramatic and rhythmic editing.
The way Dede Allen edited this film was phenomenal to time it was released because the pattern was different then the typical Hollywood style.
