scorpion on fire
The mood of this great film is set during one of the first scenes. Children who are supposedly not the focus of the action, pit a war between red ants and a scorpion. Then, as the scorpion is being thorougly tortured by the ants, the children heap straw on the battle, ignite it and burn the scorpion and ants alive. This one scene gives Peckinpah's personal social philosophy full issue. Peckinpah reckoned [correctly, in my opinion] that violence and cruelty are products of our basic genetics. Civilization therefore requires the civilizing of children.
'The Wild Bunch', however, is a testimony to the fact that some people never achieve full civilization. His characters rob and murder as if they were virtues. The 'hero', William Holden, is made of somewhat better stuff in that he understands some of the 'inadequacies' of his men. Still, like all good Peckinpah films, the film ultimately succombs to total chaos and violence as Holden's men--who don't stand a chance--decide to shoot it out with Mexican Irregulares.
I first saw this film, years ago, when taking State Licensure Boards for my Medical License. Other students stayed up all night studying. I was just as uptight as anyone else but reckoned that, after 4 years of study, another night wouldn't make any real difference but relaxation might. Peckinpah's violence--in a way that Peckinpah would have predicted--was just the relaxation I required. I did just fine with my exams.
