It is a great Western

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2016)

Butch and Sundance played by Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The two actors really make the movie as good as it is. They are excellent in their acting and they bring fun to the west. Throughout the movie they poke jokes at each other and really characterize themselves by the end. I really liked the beginning when they were playing the old silent movie then transitioned to the new movie but it was still colorless. Then it moved to color in the rising sun. The beginning is also almost solely filled with close ups. In the middle of the film they sum up the move to Bolivia with a montage of recreated old pictures with all of them edited into the pictures. I found it a good way to change the location. Also the entire movie looks as if it is filmed on location in the wild. This means George Roy Hill the director had to deal with natural light and he made it work very well along with including excellent landscape shots. The costumes were excellent and the pyrotechnics added to the film. The movie is a very good western.
