The chemistry was so good in this film Newman, Redford, and director George Roy Hill carried it over into 1973’s “The Sting” which won 7 Oscars, including Best Picture and Director. Recommended!
Jeremiah Johnson (1972) A great western movie that nobody reacts to starring Robert Redford. Not strictly a western in the usual sense but more the story of a mountain man. Great cinematography, performances and storyline which is (loosely) based on a real character and is well worth checking out.
@@tammykolu1242 Well I've watched it a number of times and the two other replies agree, and there's 55 likes to the suggestion so.....everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it looks like you're in the minority on this one?
This movie paired the iconic Paul Newman with then cinema heartthrob Robert Redford. Their chemistry was so apparent in this film that we movie-goers expected several more films to be made together. Sadly, only The Sting followed. But what a great couple of classic movies!!
@@dnish6673 They took too long and ran out of time. The eventual movie was, alas, not up to Redford's best, who himself was also too old by then for the role. A croaky Nick Nolte did his best as the hiking partner, but the film was underwritten and the clear use of stunt doubles and obviously empty backpacks carried by the actors drained the film of any real drive and authenticity. It ought to have been made 15 or 20 years earlier.
@@dnish6673 You're absolutely right, and apparently the book sat on Redford's desk for ages as he mistakenly thought it was a nature book due to its cover. He's also expressed regret in past interviews about getting overly involved with his environmental work and neglecting his love of acting and making movies. This is especially true of the 1980's where he appeared in only 4 films compared to 12 in the previous decade.
Redford and Newman, who was a little older (11 years) and an already established star by 1969, made only two pictures together (both directed by George Roy Hill). But those two movies were such popular hits that Newman and Redford will forever be linked together as one of biggest teams in movie history.
One of my all time favorite films. William Goldman is my favorite screenwriter. Goldman also wrote All the President's Men, Marathon Man (and the source novel), The Princess Bride (and the source novel), Stepford Wives, Maverick... and so much more. Rest in Peace, sir William.
Also, The Wild Bunch is Peckinpah’s masterpiece that has a similar theme, the passing of the old west. You will love it. It changed the way action sequences were shot, and still reverberates today in modern action sequences. Killer cast, epic vibe.
This is probably one of my favorite westerns. I saw it when it was released and the ending was such a shock because most of the film was fun and you just loved those guys. I walked out of the theater feeling sad and my mind immediately was drawn to the assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK which had happened a few years earlier. I just felt this film encapsulated the shock, and disbelief of those assassinations. Here we were watching two charismatic young men who we loved and then they were suddenly shot dead. Maybe I'm making too much of it, but that was what I felt after seeing this film. Thanks for your wonderful reaction and thanks for letting me see this magnificent film again.
More great Western classics -- "Stagecoach" (the original version, 1939), "My Darling Clementine" (1946), "Red River" (1948), "High Noon" (1952), "The Searchers" (1956), "Rio Bravo" (1959), "The Magnificent Seven" (the original, 1960)
Very wonderful watching your well-considered analysis and your genuine responses. I love that line when they are on the cliff and he says he can't swim & he replies don't worry, the fall will probably kill you! Lol hilarious! My first time watching. I liked and subed. Thanks so much for posting 😀😃😄
There is quite a bit of historical information about Butch, Sundance, and Etta Place on Wikipedia, and what is known is surprisingly close to what's in the movie. Look it up if you're interested. They most likely died in a small Bolivian village after a lengthy gun battle with Bolivian Army soldiers. Not exactly like in the movie, but pretty close.
What a coincidence you happen to watch this movie. Near where I live is the location of the hole in the wall gang hide out. The people Who own the property give tours there once a year. It’s kind of like this little oasis up in the rugged mountains. Outlaws went there because it was a safe haven and no one dared approach them because it was too dangerous. I have to remember to take the tour this year, I always miss it.
What a great film My Parents took me to see this new in 1969 As a 9 year older who loved Westerns at the cinema never for got 54 years later, Thanx Mom & Dad!
“The Searchers” is generally considered the finest Western made so far. It’s a serious one. “Little Big Man” is not so serious, but put it on your list.
Just my Opinion, but I think "Lonesome Dove" is a pretty good western as well(mini series) , starring Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, and Danny Glover.
"Little Big Man" was actually the first American film shown in the Soviet Bloc, not counting "trophy films" captured from the Germans after WWII. Its strongly anti-American content made it ideal for the Communists. It was even shown and won an award at the Moscow Film Festival. East Germany had a tradition of "DEFA Westerns"; DEFA (Deutsche Film Aktiengesellschaft) was the East German successor to the famous prewar UFA (which made Metropolis, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, M, etc). DEFA Westerns were shot in Communist Hungary and made the US Army into villains, the US government were villains, the US legal system was corrupt -- basically the same themes as "Little Big Man."
A couple other westerns of renown are "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence" and "Stagecoach." Most anything by John Ford, but he simplifies American history too much -- but great landscape backgrounds. Must echo somebody here about Newman/Redford in "The Sting" (depression America and con-artists).
Redford was never a "C" level actor - yes, like many actors, he spent a number of years working (busily) in smaller TV roles, but most were well-respected shows that spotlighted veteran and up-and-coming actors. Before he did this film, he had already started to make his mark with movies like, "Inside Daisy Clover" and "This Property is Condemned", as well as the smash hit, "Barefoot in the Park". Hardly a "C-level" player.
@@gibsongirl2100 Agreed. I don't know what it is that makes people "think" their _opinions_ are "expert" testimony, when it's usually something they just pulled out of their ass. lol
Redford had made some pretty high profile movies before Butch Cassidy. He was a young actor on his way up. But yeah, Butch Cassidy skyrocketed him to a whole different level. He became one of the biggest movie stars/celebrities on the planet (which Paul Newman already was).
A great movie Madison and a reaction most of us had as well, it is so good. Redford and Newman had incredible chemistry in whatever they were in. Good luck with your book!
Wow, FANTASTIC reaction to this movie, and also the post-film remarks, oh man. I wish I could press the Like button fifty more times! I feel like you were me the first time I saw it, every joke, every sequence... What an ending, always gets to me, makes me hold my breath. The comedy is so bittersweet in this movie....you know right from the beginning that they're going to die. Random recommendations: for westerns: "One Eyed Jacks" starring (and directed by!) Marlon Brando, only movie he ever directed, and it's great! For a great bittersweet comedy period piece: Paper Moon (1973), you would KILL on that reaction. And of course "Bonnie And Clyde". For OFF the channel, for EVERYBODY: learn about the amazing early history of the western: ruclips.net/video/8CDU148enA0/видео.html This whole 13-part series is INCREDIBLE, and highly recommended. Episode 5 about the stunt men is mind blowing. So is episode 2 and.....the whole thing fantastic. "Hollywood: A Celebration Of The American Silent Film" narrated by James Mason.....reason enough to watch it, just to spend 13 more hours with James Mason and that voice!!!! PS: CONGRATS ON YOUR NOVEL!!!!!! Almost done, huh? That's fantastic, what an accomplishment!!!!
Butch and Sundance were the last of the cowboy western robbers of the 1800s. Cars will now replace horses as the major escape vehicle. Their last crimes were in 1906. After that we get the machine gun toters from after WW1 thru the great depression to WW2. The house that butch grew up in still exists in central Utah. The movie was filmed in Utah where Redford still lives and owns the mountain ski resort named after this movie, Sundance resort. Always fun with you.
B.J. Thomas, who sang Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head was one of the most underrated singers ever. I saw him in concert on his 71st Birthday sing that song better than the original record. RIP B.J.💔💔
Great reaction. If you want to see another great movie with Paul Newman and Robert Redford as well as Robert Shaw (Quint from Jaws) then I highly recommend watching 'The Sting' from 1973.
Now you HAVE to watch The Sting. BTW the scene where Butch used too much dynamite was an accident. The stunt department did use too much explosive. Fortunately no one was hurt and the scene was left in the movie.
There's a relentless intensity to this movie that makes it one of the very few westerns that I love. I think it was on the verge of a new era in movies, starting in the late 60s, as well as in music.
I was 15 when this movie was released, and I loved it so much I went back to see it over and over again in 1969, watching it at least a dozen times on the big screen. For many years, it was my favorite movie ever. Of course, as I became an adult and viewed many more great films, this one slipped out of the #1 spot, but I still adore it. Thanks for the reaction! PS - Madison, have you ever seen Stagecoach (1939)? That one is THE iconic Western, mainly because it basically defined the genre and influenced almost everything that came after. And also because it's absolutely great. 👏
Hi Madison, I loved Katherine Ross in this movie! Another great movie with her is 1967's The Graduate (a non western) which gave Dustin Hoffman his big break. I'm so glad you reacted to this movie. No one else or almost no one else on RUclips has reacted to it.
"The Graduate" is classic, ha. That and "Bonnie And Clyde" (which preceded it by a few months) are like the dividing line for me between the older and the newer styles (although it's not so cut and dry, I know. "Blow Up" had come out the year before, for instance.There were lots of others.)
For almost every deceased famous person, there's a conspiracy theory that says they're still alive (or didn't die when they supposedly did). Generally just wishful thinking. But in the case of Butch Cassidy, the theory that he didn't die in Bolivia but returned to the States under an assumed identity actually has some credibility.
Many articles and books on the subject. Even Outside magazine devoted a feature article on the evidence for and against their survival, landing on, if I remember, them surviving being a big stretch.
@@phila3884 DNA testing proved that the graves know to be the robber Yankees was actually a German miner and another Caucasian of unknown identity. Butch's sister met with butch many times into the early 1930s. But never saw Sundance. And more than a dozen families near circleville also has journals of seeing him. The LDS people at the time were very tight knit and never trusted John law, so when outsiders ask questions, they get the runaround with a smile!
There's never been a good case for the Sundance Kid, but Cassidy was claimed to have visited his old hometown and family in the 1920s - verified by family members, so it probably holds more water than the Brushy Bill Roberts as Billy the Kid story.
Amazing masterpiece Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The famous song in this film is "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head" single by B.J. Thomas. Thank you Madison great reaction excellent😊👍👍👍
Such a fun movie. My mom got me into Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Newman and Redford are a great duo. Please watch The Wild Bunch, it’s a bit graphic but it’s well worth the watch.
I caught this movie in the theater when it was originally released, and would take in a viewing every opportunity it was broadcast on the tube; one of my numerous fav's. My sister was a BIG TIME Redford fan back then. My Auntie was an actress and worked w/ Redford and Strother Martin (and also w/ Clint Eastwood, all in Westerns) some yrs before this was released. And I occasionally would encounter Katharine Ross when I was employed @ the Malibu Public Library and she would patronize the establishment.
If the James/Younger gang is your thing, 100% check out Walter Hill’s long-lost epic The Long Riders, starring Stacy and James Keach as the James brothers, Kieth, Robert and David Carradine as the Younger Brothers, Dennis and Randy Quaid as the Miller brothers and Christopher and Nicholas Guest as the Ford brothers. Beyond the crazy great casting of real brothers playing real brothers, it’s a deeply satisfying movie, brilliantly told, breathtaking action sequences, and beautiful period appropriate music by Ry Cooder.
IRL Butch Cassidy's sister said that he didn't like the Sundance Kid because he was a killer. When they got to South America they went honest for years, as ranchers I believe, but the Pinkerton's went to law officers for hundreds of miles saying that if any crimes were committed it was probably them. Eventually they went back to crime. Also, they were trapped in a windowless room and apparently shot each other rather than risk capture.
I appreciate that you made the connection between RDR2 and this movie. The first train robbery in RDR2 is a homage to the train robbery in this movie. So is the cliff scene with Dutch and Arthur. I also see the references to the movie Dances with Wolves. Arthur keeps a journal just like Dunbar and there is a part of the game with Arthur's horse that is a direct take from the movie.
Agree with you on RDR2, on my 8th full play through. I grew up on Westerns and read paperbacks of Western short stories. Good luck on getting your book published.
Both actors later used names from this movie for later projects. The Sundance film festival created by Redford, and The Hole in the Wall Gang used by Newman to name his fun outdoor Charity camps for terminally ill children.
For a left turn concerning Western’s I’d recommend Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man ( 1995 ) Starring Johnny Depp with a great supporting cast. A psychedelic Western that grabs you and takes on the journey with the main character. It’s great.
All of the John Ford/John Wayne Cavalry films are good. And so is "The Wild Bunch"- one of the bloodiest westerns ever. I think they kill more people in the first 30 minutes than in 2nd and 3rd Rambo movies.
There's no proof that Butch and Sundance died in Bolivia. A forensics team dug up bones from the graves that were supposed to be theirs and DNA evidence proved it wasn't them. Butch's family said he came back; why would they claim that if it wasn't true? No one knows what happened to Etta and Sundance. So, if Butch came back, I'd say the odds of Sundance coming back with him are pretty high.
Yes Yes Yes! Can't wait to watch this. There was a time when you might have wanted to watch say, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid tonight, but, you COULDN'T, unless it was on broadcast TV! Postscript: Great reaction as always. Some context: this was a huge huge crowd-pleaser when it was released. I don't know the modern equivalent, but really Indiana Jones- type universal love. Generally considered the archetype of the "buddy movie". I was too young to see it in theaters, but it was(is?) my favorite movie from the first time I saw it.
Great reaction to Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid. Such a wonderful script the ironic sarcastic humour were so unusual for the genre. Not a tumbleweed, or a steely stare to be found. If you haven't seen them a couple of other unusual Westerns for your polls that might not come to mind immediately are: High Plains Drifter (1973) Clint Eastwood. Open Range (2003) Kevin Costner. and Costner's multi oscar winner Dances With Wolves (1990)
Another great western is The Westerner (1940) with Gary Cooper and Walter Brennan. Brennan almost steals the movie from Gary Cooper as Judge Roy Bean. If you haven't seen High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales or Unforgiven you are in for a treat. Clint Eastwood stars and directs all three classic modern westerns.
Think ya used enough Dynamite there, Butch? A lesser known but great Paul Newman Western if you haven't seen it: "𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙅𝙪𝙙𝙜𝙚 𝙍𝙤𝙮 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙣". It's got a unique vibe to it, right at the tail end of the "old West". Wonderful characters.
This movie is a love letter and a goodbye to both the traditional western and the studio system itself, which was in it's death-throes in 1969, and was being overtaken by a new, more realistic style that came with all kinds of new freedoms. This movie INCLUDES those new freedoms - "Bonnie And Clyde" had come out 2 years earlier - and says goodbye to the old way, the old west....which Hollywood itself had been a part of mythologizing. Hollywood and the old west overlapped! Westerns (plus Mary Pickford!) practically built the early film industry. "The Great Train Robbery" is 1901. When you see early westerns, those are REAL cowboys and outlaws who had crossed the border to get work in this new medium. How does the movie start? Showing you early western footage! And the end? They die in sepia-tone, frozen in myth forever. Even the bike - man's inventions replacing the horse, the old way. And she's with both of them! Very 1969! 11:45 - He says it, right there in the movie: "Your way is OVER!" He's saying it to Butch & Sundance, but also to the guys who had been running the movie business since the teens. (This is a Paramount Picture - Adolph Zukor had started it in 1914....and was STILL on the board in 1969!) Man, I love this movie! :D (Definitely watch "Bonnie And Clyde" one day, that's a great one! No one has done it yet! It's still an outlaw movie, but takes place in the 30s, a bank robbing gang, sort of a cross between a western and a mob movie. It influenced all the mob movies, definitely The Godfather.)
This was a favourite of my Mum, she used to call my younger brother Sundance.. he wasn't quite so keen though. I like what you said about the change in city\countryside population. If you get a chance, I recommend "All The Kings Men" with Sir David Jason. It's set during WW1 and follows the staff of the Sandringham house (Royal Family residence) that went to Gallipoli. The first scene and the last show the impact of the war that happened all over the UK and is quite sobering, like the end of Blackadder the fourth, it's similar to the change you mention. I think it's a series rather than a film and I wouldn't expect you to react to it but I really enjoyed it.
The spare use of music was what the director wanted to do on purpose. Just using photos of the three of them traveling east to the big city was because the sets they used could only be seen in photos not film because 20th Century Fox's built the sets for their big budget movie musical that year "Hello Dolly" and wanted them to be seen in their full glory for that movie and not have the audience say "I saw that same set in another movie."
For more Paul Newman and robt Redford check out The Sting. For more Newman: cool hand Luke is a must or The Verdict. For more Redford: The Natural or Brubaker. More Western: Silverado.
Thanks for the entertaining reaction. A very old and serious classic Western you might check out is The Ox-Bow Incident. Also agree with poster below that Jeremiah Johnson is well worth watching - a beautifully filmed movie with Robert Redford.
This is close to my favorite video of yours, Madison, up there with your reaction to _Romancing the Stone_ . It’s as if someone watched your channel and produced a movie just for you. It is common to see Millennials or Gen Z react to a lot of these movies and marvel over where a video game/ cartoon/ meme came from, but the movies I grew up with in the ‘70s and ‘80s were ripping off the Hollywood Golden Age of the ‘30s and ‘40s and those artists were ripping off silent films and it goes all the way back to cave paintings. I think the difference is that your generation has greater access and are much more aware of pop culture that was produced 50 years ago. So more power to you. I’m looking forward to buying your novel. Keep pushing the rock up the hill!
24:50-26:00 "Playing games first and then seeing classic movies and discovering where all the references come from. I'm discovering it backwards." Yea, there's a term for that. It's called 'cultural osmosis' meaning an indirect conveyance of cultural knowledge to people who haven't actually experienced the media in question. Everyone experiences this, especially young people. I'm a millennial myself (an older one though, born in '86) when I first began my classic film education back in 2005 (I was 18). But unknowingly, my film education began much earlier when I was a little kid growing up watching classic Simpsons and '90s Nickelodeon cartoons-- they were littered with cultural references to every classic movie. And it was definitely mind-blowing when I was young when you discover that a famous Simpsons joke was actually a reference to a famous movie scene. It's like you have this "cultural gap that's slowly being closed" so to speak. It's a great feeling when you finally "get" something, not knowing that you didn't actually understand it before. It's a fascinating phenomenon.
I saw this movie as a kid in a broken down theater in Dominican Republic. Theater had park benches instead of seats and no roof so you could only see movies at night and hope it didn’t rain. Dominicana were so pissed at what happened at the end, they threw bottles at the screen. Coke glass bottles, not cups. Fun times
This is one of my favorite movies...it doesn't get much better than Redford and Newman together. Their chemistry was off the charts great! I remember reading somewhere, that after this movie came out, it became really popular for the so-called bad guys to become the good guys in the viewers mind. If you think about it, they were thieves, breaking the law at all costs. But, they are portrayed by 2 very good looking guys, they're funny and we come to sorta root for them. Still, I will always love this movie!!!!
outstanding reaction 👍 🎥 It was nice seeing somebody share a reaction video of this classic western..... Paul Newman and Robert Redford made such an iconic duo. Don't know if you've seen it but Robert Redford played in my all time favorite movie... "Jeremiah Johnson " and I've yet to see a reactor do a video of this film....(hint hint) ❤ ✌ btw it's a mountain man portrayal not a western but is the same time frame for Robert Redford in his prime.
I was in high school when this came out and everyone fell in love with these 3 characters. The school library even had the movie poster on the wall. Another good film is The Graduate with Katharine Ross and Dustin Hoffman. And, of course, you must see Love Story with Ryan O'Neal and Ali McGraw. Their chemistry was amazing! Everyone in high school was crushing on Ryan and Ali when Love Story hit the theatres. Another good "shoot 'em up" is The Getaway with Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw. This film will also have you rooting for the "good" bad guys 😉 (but you really need to see Ali McGraw in Love Story first, then The Getaway)
If you’re really interested in westerns and you haven’t seen it, I’d like to recommend The Searcher’s. It’s directed by the legendary John Ford and stars John Wayne. In my humble opinion, this is Wayne’s best acting performance. His performance is better than his Academy Award performance in True Grit. I hope you give the movie a look…😊👍🏼👍🏼
Two years earlier, Arthur Penn succeeded in presenting two vicious Depression-era killers as attractive young lovebirds in "Bonnie And Clyde", groundbreaking in its violence.
This is the 2nd of your reviews I've watched (after The Sting). As with the 1st, I enjoy the way you do it. This movie caused a stir because for the first time we were on the side of the 'bad guys'. Eastwood and Van Cleef together are also great fun, but this partnership is truly iconic.
Other Paul Newman westerns include The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, Hombre and The Left Handed Gun (where Newman plays Billy the Kid). Robert Redford's only other western is Jeremiah Johnson, although The Great Waldo Pepper and The Sting are good period piece movies.
Loved Your reaction!! Westerns would be my favorite genre and there are so many great ones to watch. But this one is definitely near the top for me given the humor and the clear connection that Newman and Redford had . Keep ‘em coming!
I have noticed that those reacting to this movie have cut out the line that was in all of the movie trailers when this was released. It's when Sundance tells Butch that he can't swim. Butch looks incredulous, throws his head back laughing, and says, "Hell! The fall will probably kill you!" That's what all of my friends talked about when the movie came up in conversation.
Love this movie! Great characters, great dialog, and unexpected tonality shifts - the jump to the bicycle sequence especially. I assume you've seen Lonesome Dove, another great actor pairing, though probably too long for a reaction video ... and Hombre, another Paul Newman western (based on an Elmore Leonard story), which I love, though it has less of a timeless feel.
Great to see your first time reactions to a classic film that I know so well! p.s. The bicycle riding tricks that Paul Newman did: Can you tell that he often did 500 sit ups, a day? 😊
Great movie great reaction. glad you enjoyed it. You definitely have to watch the sting with these two actors teaming up once again. you were definitely invested in these characters a couple times saying us in some of the scenes. Best line: you can take the outlaw out of America but you can't take ... I don't know. thanks for the video keep up the good work!
I don't know if any of this movie is based on any sort of historical fact but the behind the scenes commentary and documentary content that I've discovered on RUclips is absolutely worth watching as well on your own time if nothing else it is so fascinating how everything came together in my opinion
Nice reactions to this classic film, Madison!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 When their remains were exhumed the DNA did not match their relatives. Cassidy's relatives claimed he lived about 30 years past the event of his death. "3:10 to Yuma" (2007) is an excellent Western with strong leads.
A great show! It's one of the most good-hearted western adventures ever made. So, they died with their boots on, as the saying goes. Sundance, at least as portrayed in the film, was one of those guys who pretty much never misses his target, but you can't shoot your way out of that final scene. He probably got 2 or 3 of them.
I nearly forgot; you need to watch 'Hombre', another fabulous Paul Newman western. It has tremendous acting, and superb dialog which is evenly distributed among the actors. My favorite movie lines ever are delivered by the fabulous and baddest of all bad guys, Richard Boone. In a soft, melodious and absolutely malevolent near whisper he says to Paul Newman: "Weell now... Whattaya suppose Hell is gonna look like?" To which Newman replies in an almost nonchalant voice, "We all die. It's just a question of when." And then Hell comes to Earth. BTW, you're an extremely talented artist. If your writing is as good as your art, I can't wait to read your novel. Good luck with it.

Very few people knew who Redford was until this movie came out.
Redford and Newman, who was a little older (11 years) and an already established star by 1969, made only two pictures together (both directed by George Roy Hill). But those two movies were such popular hits that Newman and Redford will forever be linked together as one of biggest teams in movie history.
One of my all time favorite films. William Goldman is my favorite screenwriter. Goldman also wrote All the President's Men, Marathon Man (and the source novel), The Princess Bride (and the source novel), Stepford Wives, Maverick... and so much more. Rest in Peace, sir William.
Also, The Wild Bunch is Peckinpah’s masterpiece that has a similar theme, the passing of the old west. You will love it. It changed the way action sequences were shot, and still reverberates today in modern action sequences. Killer cast, epic vibe.
The Sundance Film Festival is named after the Sundance Kid because of Redford's involvement in it.

Glad you reacted to this -
Nice reaction. You have a good film awareness.

Very wonderful watching your well-considered analysis and your genuine responses. I love that line when they are on the cliff and he says he can't swim & he replies don't worry, the fall will probably kill you! Lol hilarious! My first time watching. I liked and subed. Thanks so much for posting 😀😃😄
There is quite a bit of historical information about Butch, Sundance, and Etta Place on Wikipedia, and what is known is surprisingly close to what's in the movie. Look it up if you're interested. They most likely died in a small Bolivian village after a lengthy gun battle with Bolivian Army soldiers. Not exactly like in the movie, but pretty close.
What a coincidence you happen to watch this movie. Near where I live is the location of the hole in the wall gang hide out. The people Who own the property give tours there once a year. It’s kind of like this little oasis up in the rugged mountains. Outlaws went there because it was a safe haven and no one dared approach them because it was too dangerous. I have to remember to take the tour this year, I always miss it.
What a great film My Parents took me to see this new in 1969 As a 9 year older who loved Westerns at the cinema never for got 54 years later, Thanx Mom & Dad!
“The Searchers” is generally considered the finest Western made so far. It’s a serious one. “Little Big Man” is not so serious, but put it on your list.
Just my Opinion, but I think "Lonesome Dove" is a pretty good western as well(mini series) , starring Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, and Danny Glover.
"Little Big Man" was actually the first American film shown in the Soviet Bloc, not counting "trophy films" captured from the Germans after WWII. Its strongly anti-American content made it ideal for the Communists. It was even shown and won an award at the Moscow Film Festival. East Germany had a tradition of "DEFA Westerns"; DEFA (Deutsche Film Aktiengesellschaft) was the East German successor to the famous prewar UFA (which made Metropolis, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, M, etc). DEFA Westerns were shot in Communist Hungary and made the US Army into villains, the US government were villains, the US legal system was corrupt -- basically the same themes as "Little Big Man."
A couple other westerns of renown are "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence" and "Stagecoach." Most anything by John Ford, but he simplifies American history too much -- but great landscape backgrounds. Must echo somebody here about Newman/Redford in "The Sting" (depression America and con-artists).
@@maxybob to me L.D. is THE best TV production. Roots being a total different event.
Of all the snappy dialogue, and of any other lines in the movie, the most moving statement is, "FUEGO! ... FUEGO!"
I think this is the movie that launched Robert Redford's career from a C level actor to a Hollywood A list 📽🎬
@Blade Castlevania and despite his age Robert Redford isn't slowing down as he still active today and directs movies.
Redford was never a "C" level actor - yes, like many actors, he spent a number of years working (busily) in smaller TV roles, but most were well-respected shows that spotlighted veteran and up-and-coming actors. Before he did this film, he had already started to make his mark with movies like, "Inside Daisy Clover" and "This Property is Condemned", as well as the smash hit, "Barefoot in the Park". Hardly a "C-level" player.
@@gibsongirl2100 Agreed. I don't know what it is that makes people "think" their _opinions_ are "expert" testimony, when it's usually something they just pulled out of their ass. lol
Redford had made some pretty high profile movies before Butch Cassidy. He was a young actor on his way up. But yeah, Butch Cassidy skyrocketed him to a whole different level. He became one of the biggest movie stars/celebrities on the planet (which Paul Newman already was).
A great movie Madison and a reaction most of us had as well, it is so good. Redford and Newman had incredible chemistry in whatever they were in. Good luck with your book!
This was one of my favorites when I was a kid. I’m new to your channel and I also enjoyed your Dances with Wolves reaction, also one of my favorites
Wow, FANTASTIC reaction to this movie, and also the post-film remarks, oh man. I wish I could press the Like button fifty more times! I feel like you were me the first time I saw it, every joke, every sequence... What an ending, always gets to me, makes me hold my breath. The comedy is so bittersweet in this movie....you know right from the beginning that they're going to die. Random recommendations: for westerns: "One Eyed Jacks" starring (and directed by!) Marlon Brando, only movie he ever directed, and it's great! For a great bittersweet comedy period piece: Paper Moon (1973), you would KILL on that reaction. And of course "Bonnie And Clyde". For OFF the channel, for EVERYBODY: learn about the amazing early history of the western: ruclips.net/video/8CDU148enA0/видео.html This whole 13-part series is INCREDIBLE, and highly recommended. Episode 5 about the stunt men is mind blowing. So is episode 2 and.....the whole thing fantastic. "Hollywood: A Celebration Of The American Silent Film" narrated by James Mason.....reason enough to watch it, just to spend 13 more hours with James Mason and that voice!!!! PS: CONGRATS ON YOUR NOVEL!!!!!! Almost done, huh? That's fantastic, what an accomplishment!!!!
I'm **SO** glad you watched this one! This is one of my most favorite movies of all time. SO many great lines and scenes!
Butch and Sundance were the last of the cowboy western robbers of the 1800s.
Cars will now replace horses as the major escape vehicle.
Their last crimes were in 1906.
After that we get the machine gun toters from after WW1 thru the great depression to WW2.
The house that butch grew up in still exists in central Utah.
The movie was filmed in Utah where Redford still lives and owns the mountain ski resort named after this movie, Sundance resort.
Always fun with you.
Their next movie was the Sting. A MUST watch
B.J. Thomas, who sang Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head was one of the most underrated singers ever. I saw him in concert on his 71st Birthday sing that song better than the original record. RIP B.J.💔💔
Great reaction. If you want to see another great movie with Paul Newman and Robert Redford as well as Robert Shaw (Quint from Jaws) then I highly recommend watching 'The Sting' from 1973.
Nice! As suggested by Cassandra Morrison, check out Redford in "Jeremiah Johnson".
Alot of JJ was filmed across the road from our cabin in the Wasatch.
It is my fave movie without question.
One of my favorite films of all time! Loved your reaction :)

Now you HAVE to watch The Sting. BTW the scene where Butch used too much dynamite was an accident. The stunt department did use too much explosive. Fortunately no one was hurt and the scene was left in the movie.
This film is definitely one of the all time greats for sure.
There's a relentless intensity to this movie that makes it one of the very few westerns that I love. I think it was on the verge of a new era in movies, starting in the late 60s, as well as in music.
I was 15 when this movie was released, and I loved it so much I went back to see it over and over again in 1969, watching it at least a dozen times on the big screen. For many years, it was my favorite movie ever. Of course, as I became an adult and viewed many more great films, this one slipped out of the #1 spot, but I still adore it. Thanks for the reaction!
PS - Madison, have you ever seen Stagecoach (1939)? That one is THE iconic Western, mainly because it basically defined the genre and influenced almost everything that came after. And also because it's absolutely great. 👏
They reunited for THE STING. The only other movie they costarred in.
Hi Madison,
I loved Katherine Ross in this movie! Another great movie with her is 1967's The Graduate (a non western) which gave Dustin Hoffman his big break. I'm so glad you reacted to this movie. No one else or almost no one else on RUclips has reacted to it.
"The Graduate" is classic, ha. That and "Bonnie And Clyde" (which preceded it by a few months) are like the dividing line for me between the older and the newer styles (although it's not so cut and dry, I know. "Blow Up" had come out the year before, for instance.There were lots of others.)
@@TTM9691 "Plastic"
For almost every deceased famous person, there's a conspiracy theory that says they're still alive (or didn't die when they supposedly did). Generally just wishful thinking. But in the case of Butch Cassidy, the theory that he didn't die in Bolivia but returned to the States under an assumed identity actually has some credibility.
Many articles and books on the subject. Even Outside magazine devoted a feature article on the evidence for and against their survival, landing on, if I remember, them surviving being a big stretch.
@@phila3884 DNA testing proved that the graves know to be the robber Yankees was actually a German miner and another Caucasian of unknown identity.
Butch's sister met with butch many times into the early 1930s.
But never saw Sundance.
And more than a dozen families near circleville also has journals of seeing him.
The LDS people at the time were very tight knit and never trusted John law, so when outsiders ask questions, they get the runaround with a smile!
There's never been a good case for the Sundance Kid, but Cassidy was claimed to have visited his old hometown and family in the 1920s - verified by family members, so it probably holds more water than the Brushy Bill Roberts as Billy the Kid story.
Thank you. This film is so worthy of the attention and I enjoyed your reaction to it.
Amazing masterpiece Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The famous song in this film is "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head" single by B.J. Thomas. Thank you Madison great reaction excellent😊👍👍👍
Good movie, good reaction. But I think the Newman- Redford pairing is even better in "The Sting". Try it.
Such a fun movie. My mom got me into Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Newman and Redford are a great duo. Please watch The Wild Bunch, it’s a bit graphic but it’s well worth the watch.
I caught this movie in the theater when it was originally released, and would take in a viewing every opportunity it was broadcast on the tube; one of my numerous fav's. My sister was a BIG TIME Redford fan back then. My Auntie was an actress and worked w/ Redford and Strother Martin (and also w/ Clint Eastwood, all in Westerns) some yrs before this was released. And I occasionally would encounter Katharine Ross when I was employed @ the Malibu Public Library and she would patronize the establishment.
If the James/Younger gang is your thing, 100% check out Walter Hill’s long-lost epic The Long Riders, starring Stacy and James Keach as the James brothers, Kieth, Robert and David Carradine as the Younger Brothers, Dennis and Randy Quaid as the Miller brothers and Christopher and Nicholas Guest as the Ford brothers. Beyond the crazy great casting of real brothers playing real brothers, it’s a deeply satisfying movie, brilliantly told, breathtaking action sequences, and beautiful period appropriate music by Ry Cooder.

Every days a school day, I now know what sepia films is - many thanks!
Great Film one of my all time favourites ❤
IRL Butch Cassidy's sister said that he didn't like the Sundance Kid because he was a killer.
When they got to South America they went honest for years, as ranchers I believe, but the Pinkerton's went to law officers for hundreds of miles saying that if any crimes were committed it was probably them. Eventually they went back to crime.
Also, they were trapped in a windowless room and apparently shot each other rather than risk capture.
I appreciate that you made the connection between RDR2 and this movie. The first train robbery in RDR2 is a homage to the train robbery in this movie. So is the cliff scene with Dutch and Arthur. I also see the references to the movie Dances with Wolves. Arthur keeps a journal just like Dunbar and there is a part of the game with Arthur's horse that is a direct take from the movie.
Agree with you on RDR2, on my 8th full play through. I grew up on Westerns and read paperbacks of Western short stories. Good luck on getting your book published.
this was one of my dad's favorite and quoted movies, and i'm glad i was able to watch it with him
Robert Redford bought a town from the proceeds of this movie. He named the town Sundance in aspen Colorado. The is a movie festival there every year.
The Sundance Film Festival is in Utah.
Both actors later used names from this movie for later projects. The Sundance film festival created by Redford, and The Hole in the Wall Gang used by Newman to name his fun outdoor Charity camps for terminally ill children.

For a left turn concerning Western’s I’d recommend Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man ( 1995 ) Starring Johnny Depp with a great supporting cast.
A psychedelic Western that grabs you and takes on the journey with the main character. It’s great.
JEREMIAH JOHNSON starring Robert Redford
All of the John Ford/John Wayne Cavalry films are good. And so is "The Wild Bunch"- one of the bloodiest westerns ever. I think they kill more people in the first 30 minutes than in 2nd and 3rd Rambo movies.
It’s great to have u back.
I’m diggin’ the shirt.
How I wished they did more than two movies together; one of the great acting teamups
There's no proof that Butch and Sundance died in Bolivia. A forensics team dug up bones from the graves that were supposed to be theirs and DNA evidence proved it wasn't them. Butch's family said he came back; why would they claim that if it wasn't true? No one knows what happened to Etta and Sundance. So, if Butch came back, I'd say the odds of Sundance coming back with him are pretty high.
One of the greatest movies ever made, particularly one of the greatest Westerns.
Yes. Classic. One of the best uses of contemporary music in a period film. You'd probably like The Thomas Crown Affair.
Yes Yes Yes! Can't wait to watch this. There was a time when you might have wanted to watch say, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid tonight, but, you COULDN'T, unless it was on broadcast TV!
Postscript: Great reaction as always. Some context: this was a huge huge crowd-pleaser when it was released. I don't know the modern equivalent, but really Indiana Jones- type universal love. Generally considered the archetype of the "buddy movie". I was too young to see it in theaters, but it was(is?) my favorite movie from the first time I saw it.
Great reaction to Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid. Such a wonderful script the ironic sarcastic humour were so unusual for the genre. Not a tumbleweed, or a steely stare to be found.
If you haven't seen them a couple of other unusual Westerns for your polls that might not come to mind immediately are:
High Plains Drifter (1973) Clint Eastwood.
Open Range (2003) Kevin Costner.
and Costner's multi oscar winner
Dances With Wolves (1990)
Another great western is The Westerner (1940) with Gary Cooper and Walter Brennan. Brennan almost steals the movie from Gary Cooper as Judge Roy Bean. If you haven't seen High Plains Drifter, The Outlaw Josey Wales or Unforgiven you are in for a treat. Clint Eastwood stars and directs all three classic modern westerns.
Think ya used enough Dynamite there, Butch?
A lesser known but great Paul Newman Western if you haven't seen it: "𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙅𝙪𝙙𝙜𝙚 𝙍𝙤𝙮 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙣". It's got a unique vibe to it, right at the tail end of the "old West". Wonderful characters.
He was also great in Hombre.
Yes! Newman is great in that one.
So glad you reacted to this one Madison. “For a second there I thought we were in trouble”. Great line. Please consider reacting to TRUE GRIT (1969).
The ultimate buddy buddy movie, wouldn't it be cool of Thelma and Louise were long descendents of Butch and Sundance?!!
This movie is a love letter and a goodbye to both the traditional western and the studio system itself, which was in it's death-throes in 1969, and was being overtaken by a new, more realistic style that came with all kinds of new freedoms. This movie INCLUDES those new freedoms - "Bonnie And Clyde" had come out 2 years earlier - and says goodbye to the old way, the old west....which Hollywood itself had been a part of mythologizing. Hollywood and the old west overlapped! Westerns (plus Mary Pickford!) practically built the early film industry. "The Great Train Robbery" is 1901. When you see early westerns, those are REAL cowboys and outlaws who had crossed the border to get work in this new medium. How does the movie start? Showing you early western footage! And the end? They die in sepia-tone, frozen in myth forever. Even the bike - man's inventions replacing the horse, the old way. And she's with both of them! Very 1969! 11:45 - He says it, right there in the movie: "Your way is OVER!" He's saying it to Butch & Sundance, but also to the guys who had been running the movie business since the teens. (This is a Paramount Picture - Adolph Zukor had started it in 1914....and was STILL on the board in 1969!) Man, I love this movie! :D (Definitely watch "Bonnie And Clyde" one day, that's a great one! No one has done it yet! It's still an outlaw movie, but takes place in the 30s, a bank robbing gang, sort of a cross between a western and a mob movie. It influenced all the mob movies, definitely The Godfather.)
This was a favourite of my Mum, she used to call my younger brother Sundance.. he wasn't quite so keen though.
I like what you said about the change in city\countryside population.
If you get a chance, I recommend "All The Kings Men" with Sir David Jason. It's set during WW1 and follows the staff of the Sandringham house (Royal Family residence) that went to Gallipoli. The first scene and the last show the impact of the war that happened all over the UK and is quite sobering, like the end of Blackadder the fourth, it's similar to the change you mention.
I think it's a series rather than a film and I wouldn't expect you to react to it but I really enjoyed it.
The spare use of music was what the director wanted to do on purpose. Just using photos of the three of them traveling east to the big city was because the sets they used could only be seen in photos not film because 20th Century Fox's built the sets for their big budget movie musical that year "Hello Dolly" and wanted them to be seen in their full glory for that movie and not have the audience say "I saw that same set in another movie."
For more Paul Newman and robt Redford check out The Sting. For more Newman: cool hand Luke is a must or The Verdict. For more Redford: The Natural or Brubaker. More Western: Silverado.
Thanks for the entertaining reaction. A very old and serious classic Western you might check out is The Ox-Bow Incident. Also agree with poster below that Jeremiah Johnson is well worth watching - a beautifully filmed movie with Robert Redford.
Every Sunday afternoon I’d watch westerns with my Grandpa and uncles. Saw this one many times.
This is close to my favorite video of yours, Madison, up there with your reaction to _Romancing the Stone_ . It’s as if someone watched your channel and produced a movie just for you.
It is common to see Millennials or Gen Z react to a lot of these movies and marvel over where a video game/ cartoon/ meme came from, but the movies I grew up with in the ‘70s and ‘80s were ripping off the Hollywood Golden Age of the ‘30s and ‘40s and those artists were ripping off silent films and it goes all the way back to cave paintings. I think the difference is that your generation has greater access and are much more aware of pop culture that was produced 50 years ago. So more power to you.
I’m looking forward to buying your novel. Keep pushing the rock up the hill!
24:50-26:00 "Playing games first and then seeing classic movies and discovering where all the references come from. I'm discovering it backwards."
Yea, there's a term for that. It's called 'cultural osmosis' meaning an indirect conveyance of cultural knowledge to people who haven't actually experienced the media in question. Everyone experiences this, especially young people. I'm a millennial myself (an older one though, born in '86) when I first began my classic film education back in 2005 (I was 18). But unknowingly, my film education began much earlier when I was a little kid growing up watching classic Simpsons and '90s Nickelodeon cartoons-- they were littered with cultural references to every classic movie. And it was definitely mind-blowing when I was young when you discover that a famous Simpsons joke was actually a reference to a famous movie scene. It's like you have this "cultural gap that's slowly being closed" so to speak. It's a great feeling when you finally "get" something, not knowing that you didn't actually understand it before. It's a fascinating phenomenon.
I saw this movie as a kid in a broken down theater in Dominican Republic. Theater had park benches instead of seats and no roof so you could only see movies at night and hope it didn’t rain.
Dominicana were so pissed at what happened at the end, they threw bottles at the screen. Coke glass bottles, not cups.
Fun times
The sheriff they tie up. “You’re going to die bloody, they only thing you get to choose is where.”
This is one of my favorite movies...it doesn't get much better than Redford and Newman together. Their chemistry was off the charts great! I remember reading somewhere, that after this movie came out, it became really popular for the so-called bad guys to become the good guys in the viewers mind. If you think about it, they were thieves, breaking the law at all costs. But, they are portrayed by 2 very good looking guys, they're funny and we come to sorta root for them. Still, I will always love this movie!!!!
A classic movie that inspired a lot of westerns and other movies (as well as video games) is Seven Samurai.
outstanding reaction 👍 🎥 It was nice seeing somebody share a reaction video of this classic western..... Paul Newman and Robert Redford made such an iconic duo.
Don't know if you've seen it but Robert Redford played in my all time favorite movie... "Jeremiah Johnson " and I've yet to see a reactor do a video of this film....(hint hint) ❤ ✌ btw it's a mountain man portrayal not a western but is the same time frame for Robert Redford in his prime.
I was in high school when this came out and everyone fell in love with these 3 characters. The school library even had the movie poster on the wall. Another good film is The Graduate with Katharine Ross and Dustin Hoffman.
And, of course, you must see Love Story with Ryan O'Neal and Ali McGraw. Their chemistry was amazing! Everyone in high school was crushing on Ryan and Ali when Love Story hit the theatres. Another good "shoot 'em up" is The Getaway with Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw. This film will also have you rooting for the "good" bad guys 😉 (but you really need to see Ali McGraw in Love Story first, then The Getaway)
If you’re really interested in westerns and you haven’t seen it, I’d like to recommend The Searcher’s. It’s directed by the legendary John Ford and stars John Wayne. In my humble opinion, this is Wayne’s best acting performance. His performance is better than his Academy Award performance in True Grit.
I hope you give the movie a look…😊👍🏼👍🏼
Two years earlier, Arthur Penn succeeded in presenting two vicious Depression-era killers as attractive young lovebirds in "Bonnie And Clyde", groundbreaking in its violence.
…and then he went on to make one of the greatest westerns ever made, Little Big Man, with Dustin Hoffman playing a character from age 12 to age 112.
Amazing reaction! One of my all time favorite movies. Best wishes on the novel.
This is the 2nd of your reviews I've watched (after The Sting). As with the 1st, I enjoy the way you do it. This movie caused a stir because for the first time we were on the side of the 'bad guys'. Eastwood and Van Cleef together are also great fun, but this partnership is truly iconic.
Other Paul Newman westerns include The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, Hombre and The Left Handed Gun (where Newman plays Billy the Kid).
Robert Redford's only other western is Jeremiah Johnson, although The Great Waldo Pepper and The Sting are good period piece movies.
Other than this, Newman's greatest Western performance is in Robert Altman's "Buffalo Bill & The Indians". He is INCREDIBLE in that movie.
18:34 😂 I believe the ending to that witticism is … you can’t get fooled again.
This is my favorite movie....I loved your reaction so much that I watched it again...way cool...Thanks for doing these reactions.
So glad you enjoyed it, Don!🥰
Loved Your reaction!! Westerns would be my favorite genre and there are so many great ones to watch. But this one is definitely near the top for me given the humor and the clear connection that Newman and Redford had . Keep ‘em coming!
I have noticed that those reacting to this movie have cut out the line that was in all of the movie trailers when this was released. It's when Sundance tells Butch that he can't swim. Butch looks incredulous, throws his head back laughing, and says, "Hell! The fall will probably kill you!" That's what all of my friends talked about when the movie came up in conversation.
Love this movie! Great characters, great dialog, and unexpected tonality shifts - the jump to the bicycle sequence especially. I assume you've seen Lonesome Dove, another great actor pairing, though probably too long for a reaction video ... and Hombre, another Paul Newman western (based on an Elmore Leonard story), which I love, though it has less of a timeless feel.
Also, are you aware that the Sundance Film Festival was founded by Robert Redford and it's obviously named after his most iconic movie character?
Great to see your first time reactions to a classic film that I know so well!
p.s.
The bicycle riding tricks that Paul Newman did: Can you tell that he often did 500 sit ups, a day? 😊
Great movie great reaction. glad you enjoyed it. You definitely have to watch the sting with these two actors teaming up once again. you were definitely invested in these characters a couple times saying us in some of the scenes. Best line: you can take the outlaw out of America but you can't take ... I don't know. thanks for the video keep up the good work!
I don't know if any of this movie is based on any sort of historical fact but the behind the scenes commentary and documentary content that I've discovered on RUclips is absolutely worth watching as well on your own time if nothing else it is so fascinating how everything came together in my opinion

Nice reactions to this classic film, Madison!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 When their remains were exhumed the DNA did not match their relatives. Cassidy's relatives claimed he lived about 30 years past the event of his death. "3:10 to Yuma" (2007) is an excellent Western with strong leads.
A great show! It's one of the most good-hearted western adventures ever made. So, they died with their boots on, as the saying goes. Sundance, at least as portrayed in the film, was one of those guys who pretty much never misses his target, but you can't shoot your way out of that final scene. He probably got 2 or 3 of them.
I nearly forgot; you need to watch 'Hombre', another fabulous Paul Newman western. It has tremendous acting, and superb dialog which is evenly distributed among the actors. My favorite movie lines ever are delivered by the fabulous and baddest of all bad guys, Richard Boone. In a soft, melodious and absolutely malevolent near whisper he says to Paul Newman: "Weell now... Whattaya suppose Hell is gonna look like?" To which Newman replies in an almost nonchalant voice, "We all die. It's just a question of when." And then Hell comes to Earth. BTW, you're an extremely talented artist. If your writing is as good as your art, I can't wait to read your novel. Good luck with it.
Paul Newman and Robert Redford made another movie together called The Sting
Released in 1973
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid was a great movie.
