    Leone's film rhythm is always addicting, not to mention Morricone's soundtrack. The opening title quotes Lao Mao's words: "Revolution is not a dinner party, an essay, or a painting or embroidery. It cannot be so elegant, unhurried, civilized, gentle and courteous. A revolution is a riot, a violent action by one class to overthrow another." I think Rod Steiger looks like Eli Wallach in the...

    It seemed that I always stared at Leone's NB style, and now I noticed that the old guy's narrative ability is also good. Just a few flashbacks without a trace of dialogue can explain Cobain's previous experience clearly, and the amount of information is more complete every time, and the emotional substitution is stronger every time.

    Close-up of the suspenseful director

    I have to say that Leone really has a very personal style. A lot of close-up shots are used in "Revolutionary Past", especially the scene in the opening and opening carriage, which is simply a genius design.

Duck, You Sucker! quotes

  • Juan Miranda: You've come here to join the Revolution?

    John H. Mallory: No. No, one was enough for me.

  • Dr. Villega: I see. You've already judged and condemned me.

    [John doesn't answer]

    Dr. Villega: That's why you've brought me with you. To kill me. It's easy to judge. Have you ever been tortured? Are you sure you wouldn't talk? I was sure. And yet I talked. Some men died because of me. What should I do? Kill myself? Why? The dead remain dead but me, I have not changed. I still believe in the same things. I can continue to serve the cause!

    John H. Mallory: Shut up, Villega! Shut up, for Christ's sake.
