Movie tonight:
Badlands (1973)
Kit and Holly have the most innocent man with his woman killing spree, its like the whole time they are fighting against the systems that where so strict on who to love. By killing Kit thought he could be happy with her, but like most things it all falls under, which is a relieving conclusion because the whole thing was a train wreck. Ah the fleeting nature of life and love. This murder spree is touching not a film going for shock value, its about emotions relationships families trust, and Martin Sheen is pretty bad ass.
Sissy's narration throughout the whole film is fabulous, it makes the intensity of the events become more human scale.
My favorite scenes are these more innocent lovey dovey ones:
from imbd:
"Kit Carruthers, a young garbage collector and his girlfriend Holly Sargis from Fort Dupree, South Dakota, are on the run after killing Holly's father who disagreed with their relationship. On their way towards the Badlands of Montana they leave a trail of dispassionate and seemingly random murders. A very intriguing narrative without judgements, and lacking the usually sensational approach of this genre. Very good acting and directing, and beautiful photography. The script was based upon the true story of the Charles Starkweather and Caril-Ann Fugate murders in 1958."
