It matters not if you are laughing at Larry Kroger (Tom Hulce) doing weed with Professor Dave Jennings (Donald Sutherland) or watching Bill Munny (Clint Eastwood) kill men, both characters pose questions as to what does it all mean. Pilgrimage also asks us to make sense in a world and be somewhat existential in forming some sort of meaning out of chaos. I imagine the older the viewer and if he or she is inclined to ponder, then the more they may appreciate this film. As we come closer to the abyss of our own lives, some of us hope there is more to it all. Mortality will eventually provide but until then we can ponder the pilgrimage of our own life and/or see this film as a kickstarter or just some decent bloody reenactment of what hand to hand fighting was like about a 1000 years ago.
I hope when it's all said and done, it just hasn't been for a crappy rock.
