Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid came out in 1969, which was a big hit because it was different from other westerns at that time. In this movie, we lean towards the bad guys and actually care for them. In the Opening Image, we See Butch Cassidy with a town sheriff leaving a closed bank. We also see The Sundance Kid playing poker who shows of his gun slinging skills.

At the beginning, we see what they want us to see, but through out the movie we start to see who the two outlaws really are. Further on we get the implicit meaning of the movie which is you can't outrun what you've done, especially the law. Along with the two, and we get this a lot, but montage is huge in this movie. A few scenes were Butch and Etta Place ride the bicycle together and the journey to big cities when the go to Bolivia.

We continue with the set-up where butch decides to rob a Union Pacific train, but not everything goes to plan when they get interrupted the second time. The owner of the train sends six heavily armed men to track down and kill Butch and Sundance.

With this great chase scene, we get a look at the music and the writing of the film. Winning an Oscar really makes this movie worth it. From writing and music, it was perfect. the chase scenes kept me focused and the dialogue added more to the story. Also in the writing, we root for the "villains" which are of course, Butch and Sundance. We get to know them more and more, and in the end, we see the 6 men, and the Bolivian Police as the bad guys because we get attached to the main characters.

After the two get chased away, a choice is made to go to Bolivia in hopes of mining gold to make money. After they get there, their old habits follow them; they continue to rob banks. Throughout the movie, the film really spoke to me and kept my attention when they two would get into a perilous situation.

After the two are wanted by the Bolivian Police, they are spotted in a town square and get into a fire fight with the police. With much debate and dialogue, the two are seen with a Final Image of continuing to live another day. This left with a sense of hope for our villains, but the gunshots and still image of the two running let us know what really happened.
