David Thompson of The Guardian describes the ending as “Orgasmic, yet it crept in under the tattered remnants of the old censorship system.” In the film’s final scene Bonnie and Clyde were ambushed on the side of the road while they were attempting to help a sympathizer with car trouble. It starts out with startled birds flying out of the bushes, then Bonnie and Clyde exchange concerned looks and then are gunned down by the police. The scene is very dramatic, illustrating the police’s desire to end their crime spree.…

    I can still remember the sound in my mother’s voice the day she called to tell me that Stacy had been shot. She asked me if I was sitting down. The words that came through the phone were slow and piercing as if a tape recorder had been put on slow play back. Comprehending what was being said to me felt like ten minutes, the longest ten minutes of my life. Stacy had actually been dead for a couple of days before our family was notified because the police did not know who she was. When it appeared on the Austin News my other cousin who lived in Austin saw it but never knew that it was her own family. Out of sheer disbelief and denial I searched online for all the Austin news websites. I came upon Stacy’s picture along with Christopher Chon Scott’s photo the man who shot and killed her. For hours upon hours and days upon days this man’s picture was all I could look at. For months to come this had consumed my life. I read and reread the articles in the papers. I watched the news feed over and over again. I thought of nothing else but her and her killer.…
