Sam Peckinpah's The wild Bunch was released in 1969 and with the appearance of this film, many people argue that the genre reached something of an end. Moving from heroic tale in the 1930's and 1940's, to the introduction of psychological complexity in the 1950's and 1960's, through Peckinpah's revisions about the brutality underlying how the west was won in ... hero rather than follow in the path of the established hero.
