STORYCONTEXT: **Bonnie and Clyde** (Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Dir. Arthur Penn, 1972) 

Jim Carroll, I remembered another one I’m pretty sure we saw together as boys—*Bonnie and Clyde*, 1967\. Our parents must have had no idea what we going to see in that movie. I know I didn’t. I came out of that theater different than I went in—a little more mature, a little shocked. It was strong beer for boys. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the movie since, but I can still remember scenes from it, and even more than scenes, the tone and feeling of it, the mix of delightful entertainment and awfulness. I don’t think it harmed me in any way. It probably disenchanted me a little, made the world scarier and more confusing, but I was old enough for that to start happening. The main revelation was that bad guys could in some ways be someone you cared about. Put another way, that people you love can be capable of awful things. It’s a revelation I’m still sorting out. *\~ Aug. 5, 2017 / On Facebook* (1)
