How does the film challenge genre conventions?
I can add to a previous answer. Take The Wild Bunch. The Bunch are bad guys but they are the heroes of the film. They cause the deaths of many innocent people, yet you sort of find yourself rooting for them. And at the very end when they are faced with their ultimate moral challenge, they face it existentially, as if to say: “This is our line, we won’t allow you to cross it”. Now what follows is one of the great action sequences of all time. Bloody, violent, mortal and you’ll say they good guys win at the end. But the Western genre has been subverted or challenged by making the good guys and bad guys awful alike in their actions and attitudes. In fact it finally becomes impossible to tell the difference.
