position as the daybreak sets in – so the viewers are able to set their eyes on their bloody clothes and weakened bodies. But as the gang has to flee quickly, these appear only in a long shot, from 1:21:24. Flashing cuts indicate the wounds of Clyde at 1:22:16 and Bonnie at 1:23:56. Only when Clyde’s brother is dying, fenced around by the police, zooms the camera closer from a high angle at 1:23:14.
Again, the revealing and heinous final scene of Bonnie and Clyde, which depicts the well-known fate of the couple, still offers a twist for the spectator. It is a trap set up for them by the hands of the law. By the end of the scene, the couple will have shot several times within moments savagely (1:44:31-1:45:17) – despite its initial harmonic
