It's an odd one too. I remember not liking it when I originally watched it. Then I saw it again a couple years ago in a theater and still wasn't feeling it until the halfway point. Suddenly, during the train robbery scene, it felt like the movie just clicked with me. I have this theory that the extras are more important characters than the main gang. I feel like Peckinpah has a lot of sympathy for these innocent people constantly caught in the crossfire of these ruthless men.

raditts posted:Because sentiments like "it takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun" come from people who watched Westerns as children and internalized them as actual history. And also that anyone can be John Wayne or Clint Eastwood with perfect aim who can shoot the gun out of an outlaw's hand from 200 feet away.
