Peckinpah’s killer angels go out in a slow-motion orgy of mass destruction taking an army with them and in turn reclaiming the American Western back from the Italia, n Spaghettis. Famous initially for its violence the film has lasted because of its elegiac lyricism! JUst consider the La Golondrina sequence. ( )
There are images of great subtlety and emotional sophistication: a blown-up bridge, with horses and riders falling to the water in an instant extended (by slow motion) to eternity; a vulture sits on a dead man’s chest and turns his squalid, naked head to stare at the camera. The movie is set in the Texas and Mexico of 1913, and, in Peckinpah’s words, “I was trying to tell a simple story about bad men in changing times. The Wild Bunch is simply what happens when killers go to Mexico. The strange thing is that you feel a great sense of loss when these killers reach the end of the line.” That’s accurate, as far as it goes. But Peckinpah has very intricate, contradictory feelings, and he got so wound up in the aesthetics of violence that what had begun as a realistic treatment—a deglamourization of warfare that would show how horribly gruesome killing really is—became instead an almost abstract fantasy about violence.
