Funny, I've tried to embrace Peckinpah I but always seem mystified or confused by some aspect of the story at hand.
For example .. In "Bring Me the Head..." I felt confused/appalled? by the direction of the Kristofferson/Ilita rape scene.
Did she enjoy it?
Or...
Was it out of duty to save her man's life?
I'm still not sure and I've seen the film twice. Forgive me if I'm missing an obvious point.
Another aspect of that film I question was Peckinpah's apparent love for the Ilita's naked breasts. I admit they were fun to look at, but I felt a Howard Hughes obsession going on, more then a credible justification to serve the film.
All that said, Warren Oates is always worth the price of admission and in my humble opinion - completely underrated.
Two Lane Blacktop and Cockfighter are a must see.
