Meh.

It's like Billy Wilder got together with a bunch of buddies and said, "Let's make a bawdy movie with hot dames in it, and we can fantasize about what's it like to be businessmen in New York City who cheat on their wives all the time. We'll even show one or two women in underthings, and we'll have them making out with guys all over the place at the office Christmas party. Yeah, I know, it sounds terrible. We'll get away with it, though, because you're all great actors and because there will be some kind of redeeming message about true love."

so billy wilder created "mad men," only he was less cynical?

i hate that kind of gore porn too-- unwatchable. also do not like most "horror" movies (mostly about disgusting shit)

i'm not going to recommend you garbage

now peckinpah was ultraviolence maybe in 1970 but not by today's standards. still i think he didn't shrink from a certain realism because before him gun battles were like pointing your finger and saying "bang bang". these days when there's a bomb just *look away from it*. but he was showing people getting properly killed-- but for a good purpose which in service of a plot and to de-romanticize the western. sort of like "unforgiven" did 2 decades later.

wild bunch is a goddamn masterpiece.
