Watching this film for the first time felt like settling into a story that already knew me. I loved the slow burn of it all. The way it let moments breathe, never rushing to get anywhere too fast. And the scenery was absolutely gorgeous! But the chemistry between Butch and Sundance? Effortless. What I loved the most was how much it reminded me of my time in Red Dead Redemption 2. Dutch always talking about "one more plan", that creeping sense of the world moving on without them, the loyalty, the tension- it was all there! Even the moment they jump off the canyon into the water immediately brought me back to Arthur and Dutch, clinging to whatever escape they had left. It made the whole experience feel layered and kind of nostalgic, even though it was my very first time watching. This movie's got a quiet kind of magic, and I'm really glad I got to experience it! Huge thank you to KJ Gould for making this happen! Sometimes the right movie finds you at the right time, and this definitely felt like one of those moments. I'm super grateful for this experience in my first Western! Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿LINK: https://youtu.be/8lWPrB0hWJAI watched this on Amazon Prime

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid | A Movie Ticket Pick | Watch Along

Welcome in! 🌿 Grab a drink and get settled in! This movie was a Movie Ticket Pick from our fellow koala, KJ Gould! Thank you so much for this experience.

Comments

The Dingo

Great movie! Lookinjg forward to this. Not sure if you commented on this or not, but the screenwriter for this wrote both the book and screenplay for Princess Bride!

Richard B

Yes! So glad you got the camera situation worked out. If you want another great movie from Newman and Redford, it's called The Sting also starring Robert Shaw from Jaws.

KJ

Well - at least they didn't end up in Guarma. 😂 Great reaction thank you. This film did a great job of not over-romanticising the western outlaw life, and made sure we as an audience felt the same creeping dread and impending doom Butch & Sundance felt. There was the right amount of levity and comradery, but like Etta we never forgot the clock was always ticking. Being surrounded at the end, I think Butch & Sundance knew their fates were sealed - they chose to face the inevitable. Just like John Marston when he was surrounded by the army at his ranch in RDR 1. This was such a breakout role for Robert Redford, he later founded the Sundance Film Festival in 1978 (which is still going strong) and it quickly became the largest spotlight for independent movies to get showcased at and often picked up for wider distribution. As Richard mentioned, if you loved the chemistry between Redford & Newman, they reunite for another crime caper in The Sting in 1973 which I think you'd also love (the setting being 1936 and city based this time).

LOL true! Guarma would have been a whole different movie 🤣 Thank you so much for this recommend! I really enjoyed my time in this film and now might have a newfound love for westerns. The way the film balanced charm, humor, and tragedy was just masterful. That final stand... Just like John at the barn doors of Beecher's Hope.. it hit me. And even though that scene prob wasn't meant to bring tears, I just couldn't help but think about John in that moment and it hit me lol. Choosing to go out on their own terms.. There is something truly powerful in that. And wow! I didn't realize this was such a breakout for Redford or that Sundance led to the festival. That's actual very poetic. I really need to check out The Sting, especially for more of that Redford/Newman chemistry. Thank you again. This was such a fun watch today, and I'll be rewatching it over the weekend!

This lens looks sooo much better! The other one was driving me a bit crazy so I'm glad I figured it out lol. Glad you enjoy the difference! Really need to check out The Sting for more of that Newman/Redford vibe! I really enjoyed this one!

kaliwali

KJ mentioned that way back when it was recommended! At least about the screenplay, but I didn't realize the book was also written by him. Very cool! I hope you enjoy my watch along to this one. It was such a great film and I really enjoyed it!

Dave Olden

The following is a verbatim excerpt from William Goldman’s screenplay. (It’s not in proper screenplay format, but then how many comments are…?). Draft dated “July 15, 1968.” “… 112 BUTCH moving through the gang toward Logan. He is unarmed and a knife is offered him by one of the gang. BUTCH Not yet. (moving up to Logan now) Not til Harvey and I get all the rules straight. LOGAN Rules? In a knife fight? No rules! As he finishes speaking Butch delivers the most aesthetically exquisite kick in the balls in the history of the modern American cinema. …” William Goldman’s exact words. 🤷‍♂️

kaliwali

LOL 'the most aesthetically exquisite' had me rolling.. then it just kept getting better and better 🤣 thank you for sharing this

This definitely had allll the Red Dead vibes and I loved it for that! I haven't watched a Western in foreverrr, especially not after playing Red Dead so it was very easy to make all the parallels here haha. Cornwall, Pinkertons, always being on the run, and like you said - nothing ever being forgiven. In a lot of ways this felt like watching the adventures of a young Dutch and Hosea, years before the gang haha. Awesome movie, and like so many of the classics, the cinematography and the way the scenes were presented was soooo good. I also hope you're able to revisit RDR2 soon, and hunt and fish and vibe out to your hearts content :) I love what you said about them not using the subtitles when the characters were speaking Spanish. Reminds me of John in Mexico! And helps us better feel that sense of isolation in a foreign country Also, the camera lens looks amazing! I noticed it right when starting this video, but didn't know what you changed until you mentioned it haha

Butch and Sundance, one of my all-time favorites. If you ever do a Western Poll, you should add Tombstone, The Magnificent Seven, Django, Silverado, Unforgiven, True Grit and for a wild card Cowboys & Aliens.

kaliwali

I knew you would feel the RDR2 vibes too and I'm glad you did! I was grinning at so many moments and themes that just lined up perfectly. It really did feel like watching young Dutch and Hosea figuring it all out. I also got a lot of Dutch and Arthur vibes since he called Sundance kid all the time 😭✨ The Pinkertons as the trackers tho, yesss! But they had Charles on their team too lol. The cinematography in this blew me away. Those long, quiet, beautiful shots gave everything so much space to breathe and really feel immersed in the place and time. And I really hope I can revisit RDR2 sometime, too. I feel like if I started gaming again, I'd have to do another playthrough because I've honestly been dying to get back into another game! But RDR2 keeps pulling me back in haha. Even if it is just for some fishing and hunting vibes. The vibes in RDR2 were just so immaculate and I miss them all the time. The Spanish scenes totally reminded me of the times with John in Mexico, yes! The true isolation. And their facial expressions said it all lol. I'm super happy this lens is back and better! I've been secretly dying inside at how blurry the other one looked. It took a few hours of tinkering and youtube tutorials, but I love it so much!

kaliwali

Ooo that sounds like a great poll!! Awesome suggestions, I'm writing all of those down!

Chris

Maybe the best vibes movie ever made. Plot? Who cares. I'm not expert enough to verify they're right, but most people credit this as the first "buddy" movie as well. Just think of all the amazing movies that descend from that. Goldman was a freaking genius.

McShades

Another great movie with Paul Newman and Robert Redford is The Sting.

KJ

I'd add "The Wild Bunch (1969)" too. That one was more inspiration for RDR1, but it's much grittier than Butch & Sundance.

kaliwali

I love that because it's so true. Plot? Who cares lol. This was all about good vibes and outlaws doing outlaw things and bonding over it. I loved it all. Also very cool to think of this as the first 'buddy' movies!

Chris

Deadwood! Was 3 seasons in HBO. It’s truly a one of one.

Phil Stubblefield

I finally had time to watch this tonight. What a perfect film for you! Fantastic reaction as always, Kali! 😁 This movie also birthed one of my favorite lines of dialog ever: "Morons! I've got morons on my team!" I've used that frequently over the years... 😉

Eddie

Hi Kali. I see your interest in Westerns. Here's a short list to start with. - High Noon (1953) - The Big Country (1958) - Hang 'Em High (1968) - No Name on the Bullet (1959) - Rio Bravo (1959) - Winchester 73 (1950) - The Man from Laramie (1955) - The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) etc... The list goes on and on. But I thought we could start with the classics. The old films have an incomparable charm compared to the modern ones. Of course, I also love modern Westerns, especially with Clint Eastwood (I'm a really big fan of his). Of course, I have no idea if you've already seen some of them. It's just a suggestion. I wish you continued enjoyment on your journey through film history; it's very inspiring. Keep it up. Best wishes from Germany.

kaliwali

Sorry I'm just now seeing/replying to this but thank you for these recommendations! I had 2 of them on my 'list' but the others I haven't heard of yet. Really appreciate it! I'm hopeful to get into more Westerns around here 🌵✨
