Billy...
Billy is a natural shift from what weve just looked at, i.e.
the constant demands of the media and the impact on the
artist. The reason why is that, to an extent, Billy is a
representation of what happened to Dylan as aconsequence of being pushed so constantly by the
media.
His period of reclusion is the ultimate consequence of
trying to assert autonomy in a world where media andaudiences want easy messages.

The Allusion
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid directed by Sam Peckinpah
The allusion is created in two ways:
- the storyline itself - Richard Gere playing Billy the Kid,who has clearly hidden himself away to hide from Pat
Garrett
- the visual treatment - Hayness styling, or mise-en-
scene, borrows heavily from the western genre tradition

The Story...
You have copies of this...
Before the story - in 1878 - Billy the Kid is offered an
amnesty for his crimes and in return, Billy promised totestify against much more significant criminals. He did so,
but was betrayed by those he trusted and, consequently,
was forced to lived the rest of his life on the run.

The Look...
Haynes doesnt create the same kind of homage to Pat
Garrett and Billy the Kid that he does for 8 1/2; however,
he is still making very conscious decisions about the
mise-en-scene that reflects his desire to reference thewestern genre.
We see this in the mise-en-scene: particularly setting and
costume.And we hear it in the music.

The Outlaw
And so the whole sequence becomes a metaphor for the
persecution of the artist in the face of the endless quest
by the media to fix and determine the artist.
In order to be disconnected from this whole identity-
making process, the artist has to disconnect themselves
from all forms of representation. This is exactly what
Dylan did - he took back control over his own artisticidentity by disappearing from all public appearances. He
made music for himself - but the media still chased him.

The Curse of the Artist
And so there is this sense that the artist can never
escape. Their creations are a sort of prison that come to
define them and fix them in the eyes of the audience and
of the media.
Haynes does a really good job of expressing this in his 7
Rules montage...

The 7 Rules
1. Never trust a cop in a rain coat2. Beware of enthusiasm and of love, each is temporary andquick to sway3. When asked if you care about the worlds problems, look deepinto the eyes of he who asks, he will not ask you again.4 & 5. Never give your real name, and if told to look at yourself,never look.
6. Never do or say anything that the person standing in front ofyou cannot understand.7. Never create anything, it will be misinterpreted, it will chainyou and follow you the rest of your life, it will never change.

Purpose?
What is the purpose of this sequence? What is it trying to
argue?
Think about the work weve been doing on the nature ofthe artist, their relationship with their audience, and their
relationship with the media...

How?
So, weve got a range of opinions here about what the
scene is trying to make happen. But what choices are
made that allow us to reach these conclusions?
Re-watch through the scene, discuss, and write notesabout how some of the following contribute to the scenesability to create meaning:- voice-over- editing- contrast / juxtaposition- dialogue- the combination of voice-over and montage
