Eugene:
Gene Wilder was a genius. But that's nothing new. Everyone who knows his work knows that.
In his cinematic debut, you get exactly why he is genius in the very few minutes he's on screen.
Eugene hitches a ride in Bonnie and Clyde's car with his fiancée. And they're all very comftable with it all, till he sees Buck's shotgun (in a moment, I might add, that Buck wasn't being scary, but funny). That's when you can clearly see his mood turning completely around. His desperation at that very moment is palpable.
Him trying to play cool is comedic gold. Every time he laughs at someone's jokes, he's actually ready to burst into tears, yet trying so hard not to give it away. Genius.
This scene is scary and funny at the same time, thanks to Mr. Wilder.
