How can the same story be reframed to produce opposite meanings? How can Bonnie and Clyde (1967) and Highwaymen (2019) present two radically different perspectives on the same historical events. What one film paints as a tale of rebellious youth and tragic glamour, the other reclaims as a somber pursuit of justice. Through this shift in narrative framing—from folk heroes to dangerous criminals—we see how law enforcement’s presence behind the camera transforms not just the story, but how we choose to remember it.
