"Considered a classic today, "Bonnie and Clyde" – inspired by the mythical namesake criminal couple – was controversial in its time. Released at the end of the sixties, when Hollywood began to abandon the Motion Picture Production Code or "Hays Code" (a series of restrictions that governed for decades what could be shown in Hollywood films), the movie was considered a watershed for its representation of violence and sex on the screen, making it a countercultural standard of its time. It is one of the earliest films of the New Hollywood of the sixties and seventies, which also made legends out of Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, and has inspired dozens of similar films like "Natural Born Killers"."
