CLIP DESCRIPTION:
After the Battle of Bloody Porch, Freddie Sykes (Edmond O'Brien) comes along a worn out Deke Thornton (Robert Ryan) and asks if he wants to join his new posse.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
"If they move, kill 'em!" Beginning and ending with two of the bloodiest battles in screen history, Sam Peckinpah's classic revisionist Western ruthlessly takes apart the myths of the West. Released in the late '60s discord over Vietnam, in the wake of the controversial Bonnie and Clyde (1967) and the brutal "spaghetti westerns" of Sergio Leone, The Wild Bunch polarized critics and audiences over its ferocious bloodshed. One side hailed it as a classic appropriately pitched to the violence and nihilism of the times, while the other reviled it as depraved. After a failed payroll robbery, the outlaw Bunch, led by aging Pike Bishop (William Holden) and including Dutch (Ernest Borgnine), Angel (Jaime Sanchez), and Lyle and Tector Gorch (Warren Oates and Ben Johnson), heads for Mexico pursued by the gang of Pike's friend-turned-nemesis Deke Thornton (Robert Ryan). Ultimately caught between the corruption of railroad fat cat Harrigan (Albert Dekker) and federale general Mapache (Emilio Fernandez), and without a frontier for escape, the Bunch opts for a final Pyrrhic victory, striding purposefully to confront Mapache and avenge their friend Angel.

Sam Peckinpas Masterpiece. One of the best Westerns ever made.

[@robwalsh9843]

Even though The Wild Bunch is a fairly bleak Western, the fact that old dudes like Sykes and Thornton still find the need to ride off for the next adventure is a bright spot in a movie about out of touch outlaws.

[@loslobos786]

Their not out of touch, the world is. None of these Men are bad people their just doing what they have to. The real villain is the world.

[@Jurassicprince]

At the very end, when you’re hearing that beautiful Spanish song, set against the laughing smiling faces of the main characters… it brings tears to my eyes. Just remembering the main characters and all they went through together, along with their personalities.

[@thomasfleischer83]

I feel exactly the same way.

[@albertchin1050]

Consider the fact that these characters were bad men. They were outlaws, criminals, robbers, killers. And yet, towards the end of the movie, we, the audience, are cheering for them during the final shoot out, and mourning their passing. That this movie can make us feel for these otherwise unsympathetic characters is why this film is a work of cinematic art and not just another movie.

[@michaellazzeri9439]

[@Bayan1905]

The talent in this movie is extraordinary, you won't ever find a cast like this again, even the supporting characters where great. I mean, list the cast, Ernest Borgnine, William Holden, Robert Ryan, Warren Oates, Ben Johnson, Edmund O'Brien, Strother Martin, L.Q. Jones, Jaime Sanchez, Albert Dekker, and of course, they were directed by Sam Peckinpah.

[@richardbird8889]

Unrepeatable, you can't top the quality in every department of this film experience.

[@fredroberts9376]

Every part in the Wild Bunch was perfectly cast and the actors took a perfect script and, under Peckinpah's direction, made the audience sit on the edge of their seats for the entire movie. The actor who played General Mapache, Emilio Fernandez, wove his complicated character to be all that is bad, and, in the end evil, but still showed him to be a man the audience could at times admire for his fearlessness. The Wild Bunch would not be a great film without General Mapache. After all, when Pike and the others came around the corner, Mapache said "Ah, los gringos Otra vez." Meaning the gringos again, and little did he know he was mere seconds away from being blown to hell.

[@EduardoSalamanca1960]

@@judyhopps9380 they say the old west ended in the 1890s but I would say it didn’t end completely until right after ww1 ended. Even in the game Red Dead Redemption, that game starts in 1911 and then ends in 1914 when WW1 had just started. So around 1919 is when I’d say it actually ended. Plus the last stagecoach robbery happened in 1916 in Nevada.

[@micksilva6028]

That's why Pike and the others had to die. Their world was over. That's why it showed that kid killing one of them, to show the new world killing the old.

I did not go back and research the short list of films that the late Roger Ebert said should be seen at least once in a theater. I do recall that Ebert listed David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia.

I saw my first cowboy movie in 1952. Along with science fiction it has been my favorite genre. And this is, without question, one of the very finest cowboy movies ever made. I know everyone cites Ride The High Country, but this movie is almost in a class of its own. The sad thing is, per the documentary, there is or was somewhere out there an EIGHT HOUR linear version of this movie, with backstories on all the major characters including the General, Angel and all the others that hasn't been seen since 1968. I'd pay $100 to see it - and I hope I live long enough for it to be rediscovered....

I find Thornton's body language so interesting in the final scenes here. I don't know why, but I feel like he wishes he was with the gang in their final shootout or "heist," maybe because he feels like he let them down, or because he feels like he could have helped them avoid such a bloody end. Once he finds his old friends dead, he just feels so lifeless, purposeless, like he no longer has anything worth doing. We wait the whole film for he and Pike to have a moment together, but as is life, the reunion never comes. Certainly a lot of brutality and unfairness to end the film on, which makes it stick with you as it mirrors the life experiences we have all the time. Truly a revisionist classic that set the stage for the likes of Eastwood's last westerns, the 3:10 To Yuma remake, and many more that dare to show the grit of reality.

Classic better than the superhero movies made nowadays

Always thought the country song it ain't love but it ain't bad was based on that line...

Nice ending, reprising their laughter over this new gang's and going back to them leaving the village.

6 ----------count /em, 6 Oscar Winners / Nominees : Holden / Borgnine / O'Brien / Ryan / Johnson, & Oates, my personal favorite. ----------No other film can boast a cast like this.

Dear Hollywood, this is what a classic film looks like, The End

[@neo-filthyfrank1347]

Hollywood's currently in a real dead zone of creativity or quality

After getting drafted and winding up caught by Vietnam, I suffered PTDS so I moved to Mexico and stayed for 7 years. My parents - whom I visited for 2 weeks every year - sent me money and I got jobs as a translator to keep my room and board. I just drifted around town starting in Oaxaca and then took bus rides north to Pachuca, Hermosillo, Saltillo, Juarez, Tampico and a dozen other towns. I was a ghost just drifting and looking but I think everyone should just occasionally stop searching for meaning in life and postpone working towards a goal. Just live and subsist.

Red Dead Redemption reminds me so much of this movie.

Peckinpah's influence is all over those games, yes.
