Several points:1. Paul Newman is so damn charismatic.
2. Brad Pitt is the modern-day Robert Redford. They kind of look alike. Their mannerisms are the same.
3. The movie? Eh. The only reason you like the title characters are due to the actors. Newman and Redford were so big ... it'd be like George Clooney and Pitt today.
What I dislike about the film about the old west bank robber or vigilante is the lack of emotion. You can find this in the modern western. But in the older westerns, you have a bunch of guys, who seem normal, killing and robbing with no remorse, psychological issues or regret.
Then there's the wife of Sundance, who thinks he's dead and is deeply thankful when he pops up. Guess what? He's a bank robber. I doubt the bank robber's life span was very long at the turn of the century. Get over it!
Just another film that aggrandizes the criminal as if they were noble or good. Like I connect with them on some level.
