At the end of Once Upon a Time in the West, railways and stations are being built in the desert. The workers worked in full swing. Among them were whites and blacks who came to pan for gold, as well as Chinese workers with braids on the back of their heads. The widow, played by Claudia Cardina, who is also the hostess of the station, arrives between them with a jug of water. Just like what Jason Robards' gang leader Sean told her first - go among these working people and bring them something to drink. They want a woman like you. If they slap your ass. You don't mind, just pretend nothing happened - whites, blacks, Chinese, all came over and surrounded Claudia. This was a barren land. Soon, the station will be built. It will be a town, a city, and high-rise buildings. , it will be a feast for the eyes.
This is what happened in the West.
Whites, blacks, and Chinese work together to reclaim this place. Gangs, tycoons, and killers wrestle here. "No spitting" is written on the wall of the station, and people spit from time to time.
This is what happened in the West. The barren land is full of high-rise buildings; the place of escape is full of feasting. These are the lyrics from the tongue band "Fly with Mom, Rock with Mom". This song is awesome. The soundtrack in "Once Upon a Time in the West" is also very good, and it fits perfectly with the film. If this movie didn't win any Best Score, I just don't understand why. The mysterious harmonica player, played by Charles Bronson, is also very good at playing the harmonica. Whenever he plays the harmonica, something big happens, for example: murder. Gu Long has a novel called "The Sound of the Knife in the Wind Chime". "Once Upon a Time in the West" can also be called "Gun in the Music". In Western movies, cowboy killers don't know martial arts, they don't have many moves, and the only weapon is the gun. In Gu Long's novel, Xiao Li Feidao can only rank third on the weapon spectrum. But the weapon holder who ranked higher also died under Li Xunhuan's sword. Why? Because Xiao Li Fei Dao is the fastest. UI. Some say that Cologne has learned a lot from Westerns, and others simply say that Cologne is a fan of Sergio Leone, the director of Once Upon a Time in the West, and maybe he is. "Meteor Butterfly Sword" is not very similar to "The Godfather". But Gu Long is not an easy copycat. Some people always say that Gu Long's novels are Europeanized, such as structure, language, and montage writing. But Gu Long's novels are also very Chinese, for example: imagery. Gu Long is freehand, not realistic. How the cowboy's gun was shot, the movie can completely restore it. But what does Xiao Li Feidao look like? How did it come out? no one knows. Xiao Li Fei Dao has no tricks, no shape, no trace to be found. "Once Upon a Time in the West" is the most reminiscent of Gu Long's Western. This is because Westerns, as genre films, are often not the kind of films that are very "literary". But "Once Upon a Time in the West" is very literary. It also offers a very literary opening: the bandit leader in the desert, Henry Fonda's Frank sends three men to the station to wait for the harmonica players. The three of them were arrogant and arrogant at first, and set up their style in front of the people at the station. Then they started waiting for the harmonica players on the platform. A fly came to infest one of them, and this scene took nearly 10 minutes. The other person stared blankly. From time to time a drop of water dripped from the roof of the porch, and he stuck out his tongue to catch it. What a boring 10 minutes. The audience is going to start scolding, what kind of thing is this. But this is the "literary" that genre films are difficult to express: details, patience, and absurdity. Then these 3 people who seemed to be waiting for Godot, after a train came and left, still didn't wait for them people to wait. They turned to leave, but a harmonica sounded behind them. In the second half of the film, this harmonica sound made me feel more and more zhuangbility. But the harmonica sound at this moment still makes me feel cool. Because after the harmonica played, these three people who I thought would be the protagonists, who were full of scenes in the first 10 minutes, all died.
