Are these men on the right side of the law? Yes, their actions are guided by their own sense of justice, but doesn’t bypassing the law make them no better than the criminals they are going after? No. Not always. In the movie

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are two bank robbers in a Western world. Their lives are all guns, ammo, and fleeing from the law. Written by George Roy Hill, this film follows this pair’s escape from the law. The words “Western Film” bring about thoughts of Sheriffs and men who must strictly follow the laws of the land. This film, however, is different from the rest of its type in very subtle ways. It differs from the likes of Edwin S. Porter’s The Great Train Robbery in that it provides a commentary

Shane and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid reflect one side of the same coin. They both exist as Westerns, but both offer something different to the genre. The first thing was immediately apparent about Shane was the gorgeous backdrop of the valley outstretching creating a wide beautiful vita all the way up into the mountains.
