La pandilla salvaje/Grupo salvaje
Unos veteranos atracadores de bancos que viven al margen de la
ley y que actúan en la frontera entre los Estados Unidos y México, se
ven acorralados a la vez por unos cazadores de recompensas y por el
ejército mexicano.(FA)
Los precursores de un mundo moderno, la ametralladora y el
automóvil significan el fin de los días sin ley del oeste norteamericano
en este polémico clásico. Comenzando con una electrizante secuencia de
robo a mano armada editada dinámicamente, The Wild Bunch traza
las últimas semanas del motín de una banda de viejos pistoleros
liderados por Pike (William Holden) mientras huyen hacia México.
Anteriormente director de televisión con un par de notables películas
del oeste en su haber, Sam Peckinpah estableció un nuevo estándar de
violencia en la pantalla con sus orgías de acción y disparos en cámara
lenta y baños de sangre. Esta fue una nueva forma más brutal de
western que encajaba en la época de la guerra de Vietnam, pero también
un lamento por un género que ya no volvería a ser el mismo. (BFI)
Outlaws on the Mexican-U.S. frontier face the march of progress, the
Mexican army and a gang of bounty hunters led by a former member while
they plan a robbery of a U.S. army train. No one is innocent in this
gritty tale of of desperation against changing times. Pump shotguns,
machine guns and automobiles mix with horses and winchesters in this
ultraviolent western.
Sam Peckinpah's controversial revisionist Western takes place in Texas
and Mexico in 1913, a transitional year when the Old West was giving way
to the New West. The titular outlaw bunch, headed by
ethical-in-his-fashion Pike (William Holden), continues staging violent
bank robberies in their old, time-honored tradition. After a
particularly brutal holdup in the town of San Rafael, the gang -- or
what's left of it -- heads for the hills of Mexico, pursued by a posse
led by Thornton (Robert Ryan), an old friend of Pike's. The gang
discovers that the bank had been set up to be robbed by Thornton's
railroad-executive boss Pat Harrigan (Albert Dekker), and that their
booty consists of worthless metal washers. Meanwhile, the
conscience-stricken Thornton seethes over Harrigan's scheme, which has
cost too many innocent lives, but he is powerless to leave the railroad
baron's employ lest he be sent back to jail. While hiding out in a
Mexican village, the gang is engaged by corrupt general Emilio Fernandez
to steal a huge shipment of guns from the U.S. Army. Like Thornton,
Pike agrees against his will: his right-hand man Jaime Sanchez is being
held hostage by Fernandez, who in turn is being manipulated by a pair of
war-mongering German officers. More violence -- both justified and
gratuitous -- follows, leading to a final blood-spattered confrontation
between the Wild Bunch and 's posse. For many years, no one audience was
privy to a "definitive" version of The Wild Bunch. Peckinpah's
144-minute director's cut was butchered by Warner Bros. after its first
press showing (curiously, the studio removed not only the gorier scenes,
but also several motivational sequences, rendering much of the film
incomprehensible). The 1981 reissue was restored to 141 minutes, but it
wasn't until the advent of home video that the complete version was once
more made available. Once considered the last word in cinematic
bloodletting, The Wild Bunch is a model of decorum compared to what was
to follow.¬¬ (Rotten Tomatoes
