...Bonnie and Clyde Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and Clyde changed the way violence was perceived and displayed in American cinema. Penn’s stylistic innovations and camera techniques were most noticeable during the ending death scene of Bonnie and Clyde. The 30 seconds of brutal and nonstop violence has had a lasting impact on audience for decades. Prince stated, “Penn was the first American filmmaker to conjoin multicamera filming, montage editing and slow motion systematically in the visualization of screen violence.” Though Penn was the first American filmmaker to use such a technique to depict violence, he was greatly influenced by Akira Kurosawa’s The Seven Samurai. Bonnie and Clyde, was to American cinema as The Seven Samurai, was to Arthur Penn. The intercutting of shots and the slow/normal motion effects through a montage sequence was mastered by Kurosawa and used my many filmmakers after that. The usage of this technique shows the passage of time and creates a more moving and intense scene. The acceleration and deceleration of the death sequence makes the audience tremble and uncomfortable. Without the use this montage sequence, the death scene would be like any other “boring” and “mediocre” death. Many cinematic and theme similarities can be drawn from rescuing scene from The Seven Samurai, and the death scene from Bonnie and Clyde. The Seven Samurai is about a poor town that is held hostage by bandits, and is liberated by seven samurais. The shot, which uses such techniques...

...performance that I viewed is named “Bonnie and Clyde”. This performance is of the musical genre. It contained a series of musical acts that provided a different view to this historical event. The performance was directed and choreographed by Jeff Calhoun. Ivan Menchell wrote the performance and the music was composed by Frank Wildhorn. The musical selections within the performance developed the story in a unique way. Rather than having a narrator explain scenes and sections of the storyline, the performers revealed the plot with songs and dance numbers. While this helped the audience to understand the plot it also drew them in to the performance by stimulating emotions. There were musical selections such as “Raise a Little Hell” that revealed the pain of one of the main characters Clyde Barrow, while selections such as “You Love Who You Love” stimulated the audience in a passionate way. The characters were identifiable from the very beginning of the performance. All the characters in the performance were representations of real people in this story. The story was historical in nature therefore realistic features such as wardrobe, speech and settings developed most of the performance. One of the main characters was Clyde Barrow. His character was identifiable from the moment his story began because it started with his childhood and his parents would often scold him by yelling his name loudly. This is also similar to the second main character Bonnie Parker because she too was called...

...is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words ‘Bonnie and Clyde’? Could it be misunderstood modern-day Romeo and Juliet? How about psychopathic murderers who took pleasure in the pain and suffering of others? Regardless of how the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde depicts their relationship, more to the story exists than what was shown on camera. The duo is remembered today as being relentless and crime-crazed, but the real Bonnie Parker was nothing like her partner Clyde Barrow. In fact, historical evidence reveals that Bonnie was just in it to achieve attention from her first husband Roy and fill the void of his absence by accompanying Clyde in his murdering and bank robbing sprees. It is evident from the very beginning of the movie that Bonnie tended to throw herself on Clyde; he was a stranger stealing her mom’s car, and she immediately joined him in his endeavors without hesitation. Under normal circumstances, a young woman would call the police for or at least run away from the robber. This shows that she was desperate for adventure and that she had an abyss of emptiness in her heart. ‘From what?’ you may ask. At the age of sixteen, Bonnie married a man named Roy Thornton who is said to have been a “roaming husband with a roaming mind.” He was sent to prison for five years on account of robbery and left Bonnie with a broken, lonely heart (Ballinger). When Clyde found her in the movie, Bonnie was a waitress with nothing going for her in life, so it made...

...Bonnie and Clyde There are two movies that have been made towards the Bonnie and Clyde legacy. One was made back in the year 1967, Directed by Arthur Penn and had an executive producer of whom is Warren beatty. The newer version made in 2013 , was directed by Bruce Beresford and had an executive producer of Neil Meron and Craig Zadan. Though known today for his dozen-or-so bank robberies, Barrow in fact preferred to rob small stores or rural gas stations. The gang is believed to have killed at least nine police officers and committed several civilian murders. Even during their lifetimes, the couple's depiction in the press was at considerable odds with the struggle of reality of their life on the road, particularly in the case of Bonnie Parker. Even though she was physically present at a hundred or more felonies during her two years as Barrow's companion, she was not the machine gun-wielding cartoon killer portrayed in the newspapers, newsreels, and, particularly, the pulpy detective magazines of the day. Gang member W. D. Jones was unsure whether he had ever seen her fire at officers. Parker's reputation as a cigar-smoking gun shooter grew out of a playful snapshot found abandoned by police at a hideout, released to the press, and published nationwide, while she did chain-smoke Camel cigarettes, she was not a cigar smoker. Author-historian Jeff Guinn explains that it was these very photos that put the outlaws on the media map and launched their legend: "John Dillinger...

...robbers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrows. Then we will move on down to the 1995 Oklahoma City Bomber “Mass Murder” Timothy McVeigh. Finally we will go in depth into the minds and life of my favorite of the three types, the “Serial Killers” Aileen Wuornos and Jeffery Dahmer. What motivated those five individuals to participate in their crimes against humanity. Did they have no choice and it was genetics from the time they were conceived? Could it have been a learned behavior from the society and the time around them. Or could it have just simply been that they were completely mad. Before we are done we will see the similar and differences of all five of these individuals and their types of murder. We can say one thing thou, they all have one common bond with each other and their victims. Whether they died from a gun squad of police, the state lethal injection, or by the hands of another inmate like their unwilling victims they all ended up on a mortician's cold dead slab. Murder is defined as “ the unlawful killing of a human being.” We can break down murder into many different categories. Some of those can be broke down as spree killing, mass murder, and serial killers. Let’s explore a few of them. Spree killers are defined by our book as involve killings at two or more locations with almost no time break between murders. An example of spree killing, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow notorious bank robbers in the late 1920's and early 1930’s turn spree killers. Bonnie Parker...

...In Cold Blood Truman Capote I. The Last to See Them Alive The village of Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas, a lonesome area that other Kansans call "out there." Some seventy miles east of the Colorado border, the countryside, with its hard blue skies and desert-clear air, has an atmosphere that is rather more Far West than Middle West. The local accent is barbed with a prairie twang, a ranch-hand nasalness, and the men, many of them, wear narrow frontier trousers, Stetsons, and high-heeled boots with pointed toes. The land is flat, and the views are awesomely extensive; horses, herds of cattle, a white cluster of grain elevators rising as gracefully as Greek temples are visible long before a traveler reaches them. Holcomb, too, can be seen from great distances. Not that there's much to see simply an aimless congregation of buildings divided in the center by the main-line tracks of the Santa Fe Rail-road, a haphazard hamlet bounded on the south by a brown stretch of the Arkansas (pronounced "Ar-kan-sas") River, on the north by a highway, Route 50, and on the east and west by prairie lands and wheat fields. After rain, or when snowfalls thaw, the streets, unnamed, unshaded, unpaved, turn from the thickest dust into the direst mud. At one end of the town stands a stark old stucco structure, the roof of which supports an electric sign - dance - but the dancing has ceased and the advertisement has been dark for several years. Nearby is another building...

...white powder training exercise. 2012 The FBI Story I A Message from FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III For the FBI and its partners, 2012 was a year that reminded us once again of the seriousness of the security threats facing our nation. During the year, extremists plotted to attack—unsuccessfully, thanks to the work of our Joint Terrorism Task Forces—the U.S. Capitol, the New York Federal Reserve Bank, and other landmarks on U.S. soil. Tragically, on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, a hateful attack in Benghazi took the lives of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans. In the cyber realm, a rising tide of hackers took electronic aim at global cyber infrastructure, causing untold damages. High-dollar white-collar crimes of all kinds also continued to siphon significant sums from the pocketbooks of consumers. And in Newtown, Connecticut, 20 young children and six adults lost their lives in one of the worst mass shootings in American history, ending a year of violence that saw similar tragedies around the country. Working with its colleagues around the globe, the FBI is committed to taking a leadership role in protecting the nation. As you can see from this book—an annual compilation of stories from the FBI’s public website that provides a snapshot of Bureau milestones, activities, and accomplishments—we used the full range of our intelligence, investigative, and operational skills to address major threats during the year. We helped avert terrorist attacks...

But, in fact, households and economies have much in common. A household faces many decisions. It must decide which members of the household do which tasks and what each member gets in return: Who cooks dinner? Who does the laundry? Who gets the extra dessert at dinner? Who gets to choose what TV show to watch? In short, the household must allocate its scarce resources among its various members, taking into account each member’s abilities, efforts, and desires. Like a household, a society faces many decisions. A society must decide what jobs will be done and who will do them. It needs some people to grow food, other people to make clothing, and still others to design computer software. Once society has allocated people (as well as land, buildings, and machines) to various jobs, 3 Consider why trade among people or nations can be good for everyone Discuss why markets are a good, but not per fect, way to allocate resources Learn what determines some trends in the overall economy 1 TLFeBOOK 2 4 Ten Principles...

He wasn’t considered a major suspect in the murder case. His alibi was believable and he sounded sincere, but the agent pressed on nevertheless. With the suspect’s consent, he was asked a series of questions about the murder weapon: “If you had committed this crime, would you have used a gun?” “If you had committed this crime, would you have used a knife?” “If you had committed this crime, would you have used an ice pick?” “If you had committed this crime, would you have used a hammer?” One of the weapons, the ice pick, had actually been used in the commission of the crime, but that information had been kept from the public.
