Greil Marcus:
[on Kael's review of "Bonnie and Clyde"]
This is in the middle of the Vietnam War where people are becoming inured to death, to carnage, to blood... I will never forget the last line of that piece, "By making us care about these outlaw lovers, this movie has put the sting back into death." Wham. The movie ends in complete silence and the theater is left in complete silence. Everything you've been watching on the news every night from Vietnam has suddenly been made *unreal* by this movie. That's the great inversion that happens in art. That happens and the criticism can help make happen.
