"In the Wild Bunch the movie opens with a group of aging outlaw's final
score, a bank robbery. The event concludes with a violent and overtly
bloody shootout that would generally mark the finale of a movie. This is
correct in that it marks the finale of an era, for the characters and
the world they live in. They simply can no longer keep up, the times are
changing, technology advancing, and they're style of life is getting
left behind in the dust that they spent so long galloping through. They
abandon their careers for the simpler life of retirement. They enjoy
this time, they live their fantasies. During this time the law is always
on their tracks, bounty hunters. The further into their fantasy they
get, the closer their demise seems to get. When one of their own is
captured they are faced with the choice of escape or what is certainly a
suicide mission to attempt and free their fallen behind comrade..."
“And so I ask myself: 'Where are your dreams?' And I shake my head and mutter: 'How the years go by!' And I ask myself again: 'What have you done with those years? Where have you buried your best moments? Have you really lived?" Fyodor Dostoyevsky, White Nights
