This movie should be remade


to be more realistic.

No. This is exactly the sort of movie that shouldnt be remade.

There have been other movies that told the story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, one quite recent, but they've all sucked. No, this movie is good because it's well-made, not because the story is so good, and that's the kind of movie where remakes are guaranteed to be worse than the original.

the movie was fantasy and should be remade based on this book

A good book doesnt mean a film adaptation will be good.

Or historically accurate. This is Hollywood we're talking about.

reply

Nope...Otter is right.
They can make all the films they want to make about Bonnie and Clyde but they should not remake this one.
It's perfect the way it is.

reply

You are saying a more historically accurate movie should be made about Bonnie and Clyde. That's a valid or statement and would not be a remake.

reply

It wouldn't be anywhere near as good. If you want accuracy, then look for a documentary.

You didn't understand my post or meant it to address another post.

Just addressing the comment about remaking Bonnie and Clyde to be more historically accurate. IMO, it simply wouldn't be as good. B&C was a crazy and fun movie about people who did bad things. If it was historically correct, then the fun factor would be missing. If they tried to remake it keeping the storyline intact I don't think it would be possible to duplicate the cast of the original or come even close.

reply

That's a good idea, plus a documentary would be more interesting, to boot.

reply

Remakes of movies very seldom, if ever, come out nearly as good as the originals, if one gets the drift.

reply

I hope they don't remake it. It is great as is.

reply

I agree.

reply

That's an asinine idea.

reply

they were terrible people and a new movie depicting them as brutal criminals would be a good movie if done properly.
