Last night I rewatched it on Netflix and I couldn't fail to notice certain parallels to current events. The Bonnie and Clyde story is told from the law enforcement's POV, but showing that the murderrers,robbers are quite popular in the age of depression and economic uncertainty.

At one point Harrelson's character says while driving through a tent camp:" I didn't know how good I had it." although he is living in a forclosured by the bank house.

We can even understand why Bonnie and Clyde became popular, they mostly robber banks and killed policemen. The banks were the ones doing the foreclosures and the policemen were enforcing that. (they did murder innocents too though but that didn't alter their public perception)

The whole movie has a beautiful but haunting soundtrack, and there are no winners here, everybody is suffering some way or other. Great characters and script....
