The Kid (2017)

[mckinley412]

Good news!  Another Billy the Kid movie. Titled 'The Kid.' Starring James Franco, Ethan Hawke.  Reportedly this movie will be all about Billy the Kid up until his death (whenever that is).  The plot goes that a kid goes searching for the real Billy the Kid because he needs a hero to save his family or something.  When he finds Billy he finds out the Kid is not the hero he thought he would be, Pat might even be the hero from one thing I saw but didn't find that report again last time I searched.  I'm sure this is gonna be a good movie.  There are so many ways to the Kid story that Hollywood should be trying to make more of these films.  We already saw the wild wreckless outlaw version in the Young Guns movies.  I wouldn't be sad if they did a movie on the Kid's life according to Gale Cooper's version of how he was and the corrupt politics that were involved in her book Billy the Kid's Writings, Words, and Wit.  I believe her version is the best out there but it is a complicated story to tell.  Well, perhaps minus her theory on how he met his demise and the parts about Paulita Maxwell being the Kid's main girl.  I love Billy the Kid movies whether he faked his death at the end of them or not and I hope that goes for everyone.  Either way it's all part of the legend.  I often wonder what it would be like to try and enjoy Young Guns 2 if I was extremely anti-Brushy and would like to hear someone's opinion on that.  When the Croquet pic came out it was rumored there would be a Billy the Kid TV series coming out by a very good writer, I forget who the writer was.

I have heard about him and his work. This post has made me eager to know more about it. I am saving this post and I will also share it with my friends. Soon we are going to exhaust all the series by Andy Yeatman and will begin with this.

Has anyone seen the movie? And if so, how was it?

Just watched "The Kid" this afternoon. I must say, Billy the Kid was not the main character in this movie. More Pat Garrett and a kid named Rio. Seems like they used "The Kid" as a double meaning, the kid named Rio and Billy the kid. It wasn't what I expected, though I knew that it was fiction going into it. There were a few parts that had some truth. The stinking springs shack, Dave and Billy being chained up together, parts of his escape from the Lincoln county courthouse. I don't want to spoil it for anyone so I won't go into detail. Worth watching if your extremely bored, I would really like to see a movie put together with correct timelines and order of events, and though I really liked young guns, Billy's PALS were out of order in Regards to closeness.
