Sam Peckinpah forever changed the way we look at action when he
slowed the camera down and showed the real effects of violence
in his 1969 breakthrough film, The Wild Bunch. Thirty years later,
directors are still indebted to Sam
Peckinpah for his ideas about how to film violence and tell
stories about men who have outlived their time. Most of his films
dealt with that theme--the man of action as an anachronism in
a changing world--as well as notions of friendship and honor.
And, by the way, his films were also grippingly, sometimes bawdily,
entertaining.
