"Bandits" shows how a triad can form organically
Added 2024-01-21 10:00:07 +0000 UTCToday, I'm continuing my media analysis series with a look at Bandits (2001). This surreal-romance-heist with Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton and Cate Blanchett, gives a solid example of how a triad can organically form. It was a lot of fun to break down, so let's jump in! Spoilers ahead.
