Review of The Wild Bunch (1969) by Rasmus L — 22 Dec 2008
Is this the greatest western ever made? Maybe. Pretty much every single action movie made today owes a huge debt to what Sam Peckinpah accomplished here with his use of slow motion and his virtuoso editing.
What?s more, it?s story about aging gunfighters is enduring. I personally interpret the whole film as an elaborate allegory to Vietnam, and the mindset that lead up to it. The movie is a big bloody masterpiece that everyone in the world should see, this is probably one of my top twenty films ever.
