Actually, a great part of the legend encompassing Butch and Sundance was troublesome or difficult to affirm or expose, so screenwriter William Goldman (who 'd essentially been an author before this) just ran with it. Truth be told, that is the reason he composed a film rather than a book: he was keen on the story, yet he would not like to do the relentless research into the everyday turn-of-the-century boondocks life that a novel would require. This motion picture adds up to diversion since it 's contain everything activity, enterprise, silliness, dramatization, and satire in it. The film begins with a noiseless motion picture of Butch Cassidy 's Hole

Don Corleone once offered a bandleader “an offer he couldn’t refuse” (Puzo).

Under revenge, both Achilles and Michael Corleone restore their pride through murder, one among his army and the other among the famous New York families. As modern audience, we cannot afford but to remark that in a modern world where Mario Puzo’s masterpiece is chronicled revenge by murder is unacceptable by law, it is the concern of the police forces. However, we see that law and order is absent in Puzo’s novel, it is instead a world driven by chaos and social disobedience.
