The Wild Bunch
Interesante entrevista a Sam Peckinpah sobre la violencia en el cine, la forma de mostrarla,
su arrepentimiento, las peleas con los estudios: “No hago valoraciones. Solo sé
que mucha gente está muriendo. ¿Por qué? La violencia tiene un punto de
intoxicación. He tratado de mostrar los hechos.” También encontrarán algunos
datos de su película The Wild Bunch,
filmada en 1969, con William Holden
como protagonista.
The Wild Bunch is a 1969 American epic Western film directed by Sam Peckinpah. The screenplay was
written by Peckinpah and Walon Green.
It stars William Holden, Robert Ryan, Ernest Borgnine, Edmond
O'Brien, Ben Johnson, and Warren Oates.
It was filmed in Mexico.
Peckinpah and his editors cut the film to satisfy the new, expansive R-rating
parameters which, for the first time, designated a film as being unsuitable for
children. Without this new system in place, the film could not have been
released with its explicit images of bloodshed.
