After watching this film, I believe the reviewer has some very good point about how the film toys with the audience. The reviewer says, "Hill and Goldman are toying with the audience and its expectations." I completely agree with the reviewer. The expectations of the audience are that the film is a completely true film. Although it was portrayed to be a truthful film, instead of looking deeply into the historical record, the film was developed around the legend of Butch and Sundance. Bits and pieces of the filmed story conform to what really happened, but most of it is based on the larger-than-life tales that developed after Butch and Sundance had traveled to the Great Beyond. According to one story, Butch escaped under the cover of darkness after Sundance was killed. Although that story has been believed, the more commonly held version of events has the two outlaws committing suicide rather than facing capture. I would be able to believe both of them committing suicide rather than facing capture. I don't think Butch would go anywhere or do anything without Sundance. This reviewer had a great review of the movie. Giving all of the details on how Hill and Goldman sort of playing with the audience, the history of Butch and Sundance, and giving the reader an idea of how the film was created through Butch and Sundance.
