The movie Queen & Slim has drawn comparisons to the cinema classic Bonnie & Clyde. Here's how this new movie is the new & modern day version.
Modern movies about sympathetic outlaws and outcasts owe a lot to Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and Clyde.

As a reaction to the conformist social order and media of the ‘50s, Bonnie and Clyde shattered all subtlety and openly condemned authority while praising rebellion.
