Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Film Festival (1969) - REVIEW



SPOILERS

-this film is about two pretty boys pretending to be cowboys
-and they spend their time robbing banks
-not because they need the money
-as they rob like 10 banks over the course of the film
-and a train
-twice
-you know if i robbed a bank
-i'd probably be set for many years
-as its a fucking bank
-the only thing a bank has is money
-its not like burgling someone's house and maybe finding a rare jewel or grandma's inheritance
-so these two retards literally cant stop robbing people
-and they're surprised when the local lawman is trying to stop them
-and then there's a scene when robert redford is undressing a woman at gunpoint
-but it turns out she is his girlfriend anyway
-so they were just roleplaying
-bit weird tbh
-ive never been so horny ive roleplayed with a loaded weapon (oooh matron!)
-but i have shot my load while handling someone else's cash
-(never lend me money tbh)
-overall the film was slightly underwhelming
-well shot, good acting from Paul Newman
-but kinda flat if you get my meaning
-and considering spaghetti hoop westerns are my favourite films
-im used to 10/10 ennio morricone scores
-and this film had like no music (probably by design)
-and the music it did have was average
-so anyway at one point our heroes flee to Bolivia
-and Bolivia unsurprisingly turns out to be a fucking backwards shithole
-like there's donkeys and llamas roaming in the street
-like imagine getting off a train on holiday and seeing a fucking llama
-id be like "por fa vour senoir tu et une motherfucking refundo"
8/10

so you liked it

I like most westerns to be honest. Was expecting slightly more from this one considering its reputation but that's on me I suppose.

You forgot to say that it's shot well and acted well. There is no denying the two leads have great chemistry.

You seriously didn't like the music? The Raindrops sequence is a classic.
