Class on Tuesday

On Tuesday we will discuss at length the film The Wild Bunch. Towards the end of the class we will discuss No Country for Old Men too, so make sure you are keeping up with your reading with that work. You should be around page 150 by Tuesday.

It seemed to me that many of the responses to The Wild Bunch only dealt with the film superficially and not in substance. Be prepared to discuss the film seriously on Tuesday and how it treats western history. It may be a good idea to read original reviews of the film and look up what the author says about it in From Shane to Kill Bill.
