GILA NATIONAL FOREST The Gila National Forest occupies 3.3 million acres in southwestern New Mexico and is home to the Mexican spotted owl, Mexican gray wolf, Gila chub, southwestern willow flycatcher, loach minnow, and spikedace. The forest also encompasses the San Francisco, Gila, and Mimbres Rivers, and the scenic Burros Mountains. In the 1920s, conservation pioneer Aldo Leopold persuaded the Forest Service to set aside more than half a million acres of the Gila River’s headwaters as wilderness.

Descendants of pioneers and ranchers acquainted with Cassidy tell stories about the man their ancestors knew as “Jim Lowe.” Nancy Thomas grew up hearing from her grandfather Clarence Tipton and others that Cassidy was a “man of his word.” Tipton was the foreman at the WS immediately before Cassidy’s arrival. The ranch sits at the southern end of the Outlaw Trail, a string of accommodating ranches and Wild Bunch hideouts stretching from Montana and the Canadian border into Mexico. The country surrounding the WS Ranch is forbidding; volcanic terrain cleft with precipitously angled, crenelated canyon walls defies access.

How does the film call attention to the fact that we’re watching a period film in cinematography, editing, and sound? What prologue is provided in the opening credits? 2. Why do the filmmakers open with sepia cinematography? 3. How is Butch Cassidy indirectly characterized by the close-ups that are cut in montage when he visits a bank? 4. How is the Sundance Kid indirectly characterized? Why do the filmmakers only focus on him with a long take and not film the face of the person he’s gambling with for so long? 5. Why do the filmmakers fade into color after Butch and Sundance leave? 6. What do Butch and Sundance both desire? What are their dreams? Why? Where do they envision living their lives? Why? 7. How and why does Harvey challenge Butch as leader? How does Butch outsmart and beat him? What idea does Butch steal from Harvey? 8. How is Butch indirectly characterized by this angle and his actions in the heist? 9. Who tries to recruit men to fight the Hole in the Wall Gang, and how is it received? Why? Who overhears him, and how do the filmmakers reveal this with camera movement? 10. What does the Sundance Kid desire from a woman? Is he picky? How do the filmmakers build suspense when we first meet Etta Place, and when is this suspense released? 11. What is the relationship like between Butch and Etta? What is the purpose of the “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on my Head” scene? How does it affect characterization and mood? 12.
