They have even been able to compute the astounding speed with which the Milky Way moves around the center of a supercluster of 2,500 neighboring galaxies (1,350,000 m.p.h.). Yet the earth and the Milky Way are also in motion with respect to the vast reaches of the universe itself...
...narrates romantic music swells and dies, at times covering her speech. The two characters' imperviousness to this, as to the physical beauty of their setting (stressed by the camera's motion), becomes more pointed in a ten-minute continuos track which follows their car as it passes a line of autos stopped on the highway. The horns that assault one throughout the scene act on them only as low-level irritation.

Using a combination of fast cutting and slow motion, Peckinpah creates scenes of uncontrolled frenzy in which the feeling of chaotic violence is almost overwhelming. Where the slow-motion murders in Bonnie and Clyde were balletic, similar scenes in The Wild Bunch have the agonizing effect of prolonging the moment of impact, giving each death its own individual horror. Peckinpah repeatedly suggests that the true victims of violence are the young. Children watch the scenes...
