[A+] Every time you watch Leonne's movies, you always think how can he be so good at making movies? Whether it is the ability of scene scheduling in single or multiple shots, or the accumulation of emotions inside the picture and the montage cut intertwined in time and space, all of them reflect his terrifying film control. In the style of this "Revolutionary Past", Leone made a more commercial attempt, added a lot of humorous elements, and expanded the proportion of big scenes. However, despite this change, Leone still insists on his artistic creation. As the narrative progresses, the accumulated emotions and power continue to explode under the magic of images. Ideal revolutionaries, renegade revolutionaries, lonely revolutionaries, and revolutionaries who hate revolution, all of them can't see the whole picture of revolution, and they repeat one cycle after another under the erosion of desire. Morricone's score is undoubtedly a huge plus for the film, but without Leonne's orchestration behind it, these elegant melodies would be worthless.

There are still many places in the film that can be sculpted, and there are many shortcomings if you look carefully. And the story is far-fetched (more than one of Leone's films has this problem). But in the case of frequent situations in the early stage, the shooting was not sloppy. Based on this, it can be said that Leone's attitude is good, and he cares about his works and reputation.

[Juan is confronting a landowner who mocked him about not knowing about his family]
Juan Miranda: You wanted to know my family?
[slaps him]
Juan Miranda: That's my sons. Each one of them from a different mother, eh? And now, you kneel. Kneel. KNEEL!
[forces him to his knees]
Juan Miranda: Papa!
[his father comes out of the stagecoach]
Juan Miranda: This is my father, I think.
Papa Miranda: [extends his hand to the landowner] Pleased to meet...
Juan Miranda: [slaps it away] Go inside before Chulo kills everyone, eh? My mother had the blood of the Aztecs, which was before your people! And now I ask you a question: can you make a baby?
[no response]
Juan Miranda: Can you make a baby?
[landowner shakes his head]
Juan Miranda: That's sad. But we will fix that.

[the other revolutionaries have left while Juan and John defend the bridge]
Juan Miranda: Listen, when they are out of sight, we will make a run for it. ¿Sí?
[John doesn't respond]
Juan Miranda: No? You can't mean to stay here? All those explosions must have gone to your head!
[whispering]
Juan Miranda: Remember: John and Juan? America. The millions. No?
John H. Mallory: No.
Juan Miranda: I don't understand you! I thought you made some kind of a trick so we can get out of here - what can the two of us do against those locusts?
John H. Mallory: Oh, you'd be doing me a great favor if you'd leave! If it's a choice I'd have to make between a chicken thief, and riddin' the world of a few uniforms... I'll not be choosin' the chicken thief.
Juan Miranda: O-kay. O-kay!
[begins to walk away]
Juan Miranda: NO!
[laughs]
Juan Miranda: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. You will like that, uh? Well, you listen to me, you Irish piece of shit! You think you're the only man in the world who has the balls to stay? Well, you are wrong! 'Cause I - have - the - balls - and - I - stay!
