Badlands


"He wanted to die with me and I dreamed of being lost forever in his arms."

I watched Badlands for the first time last night and it was so wonderful. Sissy Spacek is such an unusual and interesting actress, and the story was near perfect. It's based loosely on the real life shooting spree of Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate. Rather than focusing on the murders the movie seems more intent on capturing two peculiar souls and their bizarre journey. It was beautiful to watch.
