compare and contrast the portrayals of the Clyde Barrow gang, the law enforcement officers, the media coverage of Bonnie and Clyde and any other points of comparison and contrast that come to your mind

Description

Watch the Netflix film “The Highway Men” (starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson) and also watch “Bonnie and Clyde” (1967 — starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway) and compare and contrast the portrayals of the Clyde Barrow gang, the law enforcement officers, the media coverage of  Bonnie and Clyde and any other points of comparison and contrast that come to your mind.  What is the message of each filmmaker concerning issues of justice, law, heroism and anti-heroism?  Use at least five academic references (not including the source films).. Many people complain that Bonnie and Clyde the film — is “nihilistic” What does that mean? Do you agree or disagree and why? Those questions are just some issues you may explore. The materials used to support your thesis can either be empirical in nature (i.e. presenting the results of research) or theoretical (e.g. arguments for or against a position based on legal or constitutional analysis). For example, a paper in support of the view that entertainment media misrepresents law enforcement should include evidence from the research literature.  Sources can include the source material: film, item, et c. The final paper must be typed, double-spaced, with 1″ margins all around and should be 1,200 words at a minimum (NOT including title page and works cited pages). Acceptable references include articles published in refereed journals, books published by academic publishers, and government publications. Articles from newspapers, magazines or the Web (unless they are electronic versions of peer-reviewed journals or government publications) do not count toward the five required references.
