Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid has a scene during a romantic bicycle ride where the camera moves past a wooden fence, with the sun shining through the gaps between the boards, creating a moderate but brief strobe effect. There is a montage of still photographs in the middle of the film that uses some fast transitions and bright flashes that create brief strobe effects, becoming safe to watch again when the up-tempo music slows down.

There is one brief scene of peril at extreme heights, and a few scenes use mild handheld camera work.

Flashing Lights: 5/10. Motion Sickness: 1/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: A potential act of sexual harassment turns out to be a consensual roleplay.

So I went to the wiki page for the henghill Bullet & Brain mission of 2.2 looking for some dialogue I had missed and

a) I found something incredibly tasty that slotted into some other thoughts I'd been having, more on that on another day, and

b) I saw this super fun little trivia at the bottom, which!

I knew Penacony characters like Boothill took a lot of inspirations from old movies, but I didn't realize it was even in his and Dan Heng's relationship, that's so cool!!

It fits them very well, it's such a fun reference. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" was an old buddy Western film (from 1969- nice) about a pair of outlaws. Butch Cassidy was the leader of a gang, and described as clever, affable, and talkative. Meanwhile, his closest companion, the Sundance Kid, was known as a man of few words.

Cassidy's original birth name was much more plain, but similar to Boothill, he took on a new moniker when he became an outlaw. "Cassidy" had been the last name of his beloved mentor, who taught him how to shoot and ride. And Sundance Kid was known as he was because Sundance was the name of his hometown, and it was the only place that had ever managed to catch and jail him, back when he'd been younger (also similar to Dan Heng, but ouch).

These two stick together like glue throughout the length of the film- through Cassidy's leadership of the gang being challenged, through a train robbery gone wrong, through being pursued by mercenaries, and even through fleeing to Bolivia and trying to start over together.

I don't want to say too much more, since the mission title is referencing one specific movie that I've never seen. I kinda wanna watch it now, though, just to see the inspiration that went into Boothill and Dan Heng and how they get along. I just think it's really sweet that these two were literally made to be the best of bros, how lovely is that. 💕

IMDb Listing

[wernerherzoghaircut9000]

Eight movies I've watched a million times; movies that, in no particular order, I've obsessed about; that changed my life; that changed how and why I watch movies.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) dir. Terry Gilliam

The Transformers: The Movie (1986) dir. Nelson Shin

The Long Goodbye (1973) dir. Robert Altman

Milk (2008) Gus Van Sant

Zodiac (2007) David Fincher

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) George Roy Hill

Naked Lunch (1991) David Cronenberg

Army of Shadows (1969) Jean-Pierre Melville

These aren't categorized in any way, but the two stipulations that I set for myself when making this list were: 1) the particular movie had to have impacted me in a major way, and 2) I had to have watched it many, many times (not necessarily all the way through).

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and The Transformers: The Movie take a visual form and extend it to its limits; imagination! exploring other worlds! meeting strange and wondrous persons! On the surface, both are childish and thin - but they contain multitudes.

The Long Goodbye was the first movie I remember watching "seriously." It's a masterpiece.

Milk was one of the first movies that started to change how I think about movies and really got me into learning more about how movies are made, particularly how framing, camera movement, and editing shape a story.

Zodiac is one of the most effective movies I've ever seen, and strangely a kind of comfort film (for me). It's a depressing American opus about the follies of the information age. It's fantastic.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a movie I'm passionately in love with. No other movie like it.

Naked Lunch and Army of Shadows are both very depressing, deliberate, and yet weirdly life-affirming. They are both tragedies and deal with identity - the loss thereof, the need to hide and take on new ones. They don't end well.

So yeah, I guess that's about it. Until next time...

Butch: What happened to the old bank? It was beautiful. Guard: People kept robbing it. Butch: Small price to pay for beauty.

- William Goldman, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid: Screenplay (1970)

In a brilliant William Goldman script peppered with memorable lines, the first exchange sets the tone of this classic Western movie. Butch looks around a bank at closing time, chatting with the security guard as he perhaps sizes up his next job.

“What happened to the old bank? It was beautiful.” “People kept robbing it.” “That’s a small price to pay for beauty.”

Right away, Goldman establishes Butch as a charismatic mouthpiece for the quip-ready screenwriter, contrasting nicely with the Sundance Kid, Robert Redford’s taciturn sharpshooter. But he’s also created two heroes who break the western mold, neither justice-seeking white-hats nor grizzled, sneering black-hats, and not as traditionally masculine as either party. Butch is a man who appreciates beauty and art, but doesn’t have the stomach for violence; it’s not until late in the film that we (and the Kid) discover that he’s never shot a man before and he looks sickened to have to do it. He’s a pleasure-seeker above all else: robbing banks and trains are his way to make an easy living and enjoy whatever sinful freedoms his vocation affords him.

Audiences in 1969 were all too happy to embrace the light, quippy irreverence of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid after a turbulent summer, and Goldman, director George Roy Hill, and the two impossibly handsome stars made them feel cool for doing it. True Grit had performed well earlier in the year as a throwback to the genre’s past, giving John Wayne a proper victory lap, but Butch Cassidy was thoroughly modern, a star-making vehicle for Newman and Redford that reflected a need for the genre to turn the page and that feels as much of its time as it does authentic to Wyoming in the late 1890s. With Katherine Ross at the centre of a love triangle between friends, the film attempted to bring a French Jules and Jim vibe to the American mainstream, taking a lesson from the French new wave on how to revive old Hollywood craft.

It still works spectacularly well. There’s an alchemy up and down the production. Redford possesses easy charm, which parries so well with Newman’s smarts that the two would run it back again with Hill a few years later in The Sting.

The pop doodling of Burt Bacharach’s musical score is about as far from a traditional western score as possible, but it somehow meshes with the sepia sheen of Conrad Hall’s photography, which burnishes the legend of these two men while their story is still being told. And while Goldman’s screenplay dances on the edge of glib, it’s lively and sophisticated, with a strong theme about the capitalist forces that really tamed the Wild West.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is such a rollicking good time that it takes a while to notice it’s about the end of the line for its heroes, whose celebrity is already widespread when the film opens and ultimately hastens their demise. “Your times is over and you’re gonna die bloody,” warns a sheriff, prophetically, in an early scene, and the film is mostly about Butch and Sundance getting chased out of America by hired guns and dying at the hands of the Bolivian army. 

They’re mostly guilty of stealing from the wrong guy: EH Harriman, the railroad tycoon, spends more trying to catch them than they rob from his safes, but it’s an opportunity for a powerful man to send a message about who’s really in charge. Guys like Butch and Sundance can handle local lawmen and half-hearted posses, but they can’t fight progress. The EH Harrimans along with the the Rockefellers, JP Morgans, and the Carnegies and of the world - the original robber barons - would make certain of that.

hai. top 5 westerns 🤠?

oh i forgot i had these to answer from last night!!! ok so according to my letterboxd my top 5 goes something like this based on my actual ratings

1. the big gundown (1967) (more people should see the big gundown kiss kiss the big gundown i love you)

2. for a few dollars more (1965) (my favorite dollars trilogy entry)

3. the good the bad and the ugly (1968)

4. butch cassidy and the sundance kid (1969)

5. a tie between tombstone (1993) and unforgiven (1992)

SPECIAL MENTIONS: sabata (1969) which is not “good” but is delightful and has a guy with a banjo that’s also a gun; true grit (2010) which i dont have logged in my letterboxd but was the first western i watched as an adult; and death rides a horse (1967) because lee van cleef looks so much like a long lost uncle of mine in this one i got scared and had a dark night of the soul about the future of my own testosterone hairline. i am now much more self actualized about my hairline because of this movie thank you lee van cleef.

the man who shot liberty valance (1962) i also gave 4.5 stars to on letterboxd but because i find john wayne just kind of personally repulsive it will never rank in my top 5 even if i know its Good.

next up in "the dots connect themselves" series: Paul Newman!

“Some men have a charisma that transcends orientation: Paul Newman, Idris Albra, Norm McDonald.” --Sam Obisanya S3E03

"But I think we can all agree that the Departed is not necessarily his best work. That belongs to The Color of Money!" --Ted Lasso S1E06

"Janelle was added to the story to avoid sexual connotations to Eddie and Vincent’s relationship" "As The Color of Money centres on an enigmatic older man essentially seducing a younger man into a different lifestyle, there is certainly scope to interpret the film as a thinly veiled gay romance." (x)

young Ted watching color of money like “I’d let Paul newman seduce me”

In the first few episodes from the second season made available for viewing, the series takes a turn toward another cinematic sports classic – “Slap Shot,” which starred Cleveland native Paul Newman. “Ooh, I love ‘Slap Shot’ and actually, just so you know,” Hunt said. “I'll be introducing to the room some notions for season three that are even more ‘Slap Shot’ specific, so stay tuned.” (x)

In his book, Paul Newman: The Man Behind The Baby Blues, he quotes Brando as saying, "He never fooled me. Paul Newman had just as many on-location affairs as the rest of us, and he was just as bisexual as I was. But, where I was always getting caught with my pants down, he managed to do it in the dark." (x)

"Thank you for your help, Trent. May a young Robert Redford portray you in a film someday." "Probably Dustin Hoffman." --Ted Lasso & Trent Crimm S3E04

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The uplifting lyrics describe somebody who overcomes his troubles and worries by realizing that "it won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me." (x)

which is coming in the next episode, sunflowers!

also young ted definitely watched cool hand luke with a bisexual gaze that movie is just so

(Such a film might've been equally homoerotic, though; with its nearly all-male cast full of soulful, shirtless guys caked in sweat, dirt and blood, "Luke" is one of the gayest mainstream Hollywood films of the sixties, and Brando and Dean were rivals in pansexual beauty.) (x)
