Awesome movie in my opinion, great chemistry between the lead pair, a little loose script but who minds that if the end result is such fun…and ofcourse the “raindrops” song
butch and sundance is a very nice buddy movie. i find it less of a western… oh yeah and i will create a western board, seems like there’s demand for discussing non-italian stuff, too
Indeed the raindrops song was a very good moment
What I enjoyed was watching the way the main characters were dealing with their situation; their future gets darker and darker through the movie; but none of them refuses to accept this… they both keep hoping for better times, until the very end… where afcourse they meet their inevidable fate
I love the movie. I’m not the biggest fan of American Westerns, but I really liked this one. THough I hate the Raindrops song, and felt it was completely out of place in the movie. Otherwise, good stuff.
I was being sarcastic, I think “Raindrops” totally ruins the film as a serious western, it plays a bit more like a comedy western so if you look at it from that perspective you can let it slide.
There was a trend of inserting out of place modern sounding pop tunes into Westerns, which for me totaly pulls me out of the film magic. Its not at all period sounding or done live with extraneous sounds like it would be if live but sounding like it was canned and right out of a sound studio.
BC&TSK was the first one that I remember doing it, and I’ve since run into two more, The Life & Times of Judge Roy Bean, and Cahill US Marshall there are probably a few others on this list.
When its done right its fine, like Lenoard Cohen for “McCabe & Mrs. Miller”, or Dob Dylan for “Pat Garret & Billy The Kid”. Now the De Angelis Bros is a bit too much in Keoma with the female falsetto voice, but it doesn’t bother me as much as it do some folks. ;D
yeah it was post-western time in the US already, fellas. That’s why the spaghetti western took off from there, the US western had already died at that time.
