neutral · AI labelView post →Here's James Coburn relaying an anecdote about Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid that articulates what so many people get wrong about Sam Peckinpah's Westerns. Peckinpah's goal was not demythologizing the Old West. His goal was revitalizing the old myths & creating new ones:

That’s a career, man!

positive · AI labelView post →Sam Peckinpah’s Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid premiered today in 1973. Few films of the era had more anticipation, but it died at the box office. It features Kris Kristofferson, James Coburn, Richard Jaeckel & Bob Dylan. Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” (#12 U.S.) was the soundtrack’s big single.

neutral · AI labelView post →PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID: Peckinpah teases out the inherent contradictions in his perpetually conflicted characters moving between both sides of the law, striking a great melancholy that suffuses affable hangouts and elegiac violence alike. Quite moving in its brutal poetry.
positive · AI labelView post →Feeling majorly like a melding of Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch & Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, I enjoyed The Long Riders The decision to cast actual acting brothers as real-life brothers might seem gimmicky, but it gives the film a more realistic, close-knit feel that this story requires #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →Bob Dylan has always been the most incredible songwriter. I love the soundtrack to Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid - Main Title (Billy), Bunkhouse Theme, Turkey Chase, Billy, make this such a beautiful, evocative record. Then there's Knockin' on Heaven's Door. #BobDylan #MusicSky #westerns
