The Wild Bunch

The theme of violence in the American West was shown in this film to an extreme. The 'wild bunch' who was a train robbing gang, was killing numerous amounts of people as the enforcements were after them. The bounty hunters were almost like security to their outrage. There was a sense of belonging to a group which would be the 'wild bunch'. We spoke in class how it was not just individual fights, but rather group fights. The idea of siding with someone and sticking to it was shown in this film. There was deaths in this group, but they continued to kill. They would rob trains as well as the bank. This gory film was the idea of how the 'wild bunch' turned the west into violence and their surrondings.
