Way back when the Kevin Costner movie "The Highwaymen" came out, I mentioned that I enjoyed it, but something just stuck that didn't at the time, though Beans mentioned it in the comments.
It's the first Bonnie and Clyde movie where the good guys are portrayed as the protagonists.
The Barrow gang were murdering criminals. They were not the good guys, no matter how romanticized Hollywood wants them to be.
The realization of how rare it is for Hollywood to let the actual good guys be the heroes of the story really hits home.
It's remarkable and I am remarking on it.
Related is the constant refusal to take their own culture's side when portraying historical events.
That culture is the only reason your commie asses get to be millionaires, you should appreciate it more!
Of course, they're just emulating Herr Marx. Not producing anything of value while mooching off friends and cheating on their spouses.
I cannot think of how much better the world would be if McCarthy had owned a helicopter.
