When I watched "The Good, the Bad and the Bad" before, I compared western movies with Chinese martial arts movies. Now it seems that western movies are more in line with my taste. In Chinese martial arts movies, the most chivalrous ones are concerned about the country and the people, and although Western movies also have a chivalrous spirit, the real thing is really gone, and they hide their merits and fame. This may not be accurate. They don't have the idea of ​​hiding in their hearts, they just follow their own hearts.

When will we meet again? Let's talk about it. Wandering around, my home is where I feel at ease.

There is no sadness in the film. When you want to sigh, you will hear a unique lively tone. Life is good, and you die well.

The plot is also great, unfolding slowly, without rushing, allowing people to quietly taste the melodious desolation in the desert.

    [Pseudo] Re-watched on the big screen, super five-star. The four protagonists are portrayed as flesh and blood, Morricone's inner god-level soundtrack and Leon's characteristic mirroring needless to say. This film is by no means inferior to [The Good, the Bad and the U.S.]: in terms of layout, the history of railway development vs. the Civil War; technically, the best film history candidate (fly, water drop, windmill) vs. an opera-style sound and picture montage of a three-person duel in a cemetery. In addition, the subversive nature of the film is also reflected in the importance of female roles. (9.5/10) [2021.6.13. SIFF New Hengshan Revisited] Although the title is long, there is no shortage of tension. The long wait and sudden one-shot kill are the essence of Western films. Several protagonists have thematic soundtracks, and each soundtrack appeared at the right time, and the replay was still moved to tears. The camera follows Jill and the driver, swaying upwards, over the roof, revealing the vigorous prospect of the development and construction of the western town, and the soundtrack has reached a climax. This shot is simply perfect! Gil's image is very three-dimensional, combining tenacity, loyalty and compromise, with prostitutes as the first protagonist (the first name is also the first), which is indeed an anti-Western revolution. See also the obsession with standing in the air with a noose.

    The story is a bit lacking, and it wants to depict the big historical view, a silhouette of farewell to the era of knights.

Once Upon a Time in the West quotes

  • Cheyenne: By the way, you know anything about a man going around playing the harmonica? He's somebody you'd remember. Instead of talking, he plays. And when he better play, he talks.

  • Cheyenne: Listen, Harmonica, a town built around a railroad - mm mm mm mmm - you could make a fortune, huh? Hundreds of thousands of dollars. Hey, more than that. Thousands of thousands.

    Harmonica: They call them "millions."

    Cheyenne: "Millions." Hm.
