It's more romanticised, there is a beauty in it. Though I think he played it down in The Getaway to suit McQueen's style. If I'm not mistaken John Woo was inspired by Peckinpah, before taking it further and added churches and pigeons :P

Leone's set up takes time, but it's dealt with quickly. Eastwood picked that up for his own westerns and cop movies.

Bala...I need to take another look at MR.

The shooting was a mistake, and Bacon knows Sean did it, "you could have told me earlier" or to that effect. But loyalty and sympathy for his childhood friend. They all went through that dreadful thing in past, where Robbins was the victim and he has been living with it miserably. It's was intended as revenge, but Penn ended up killing a zombie anyway.

I have to watch it again. I may have missed some points there.
