A Brief Review of "Once Upon a Time in the West"

It's more like the end of a Western than Leone's traditional Red Dead pasta westerns. It no longer renders violence with violence, and expresses love and hatred in a compact rhythm. Instead, it expresses the grand theme in an epic tone and extremely literary and artistic: the end of the old era and the arrival of a new era, the earth-shaking changes brought by the construction of the railway to the west, the existence of the rules of the western cowboy and the eastern merchants. fundamental conflict of interest. Leone's close-up quick cuts and Morricone's melodious soundtrack still work in harmony, bringing us a different and familiar western feeling. "Once Upon a Time in the West" and "The Bad and the Bad" each have their strengths and weaknesses, and if one were to be called the best Western in film history, I would be very upset with the other.
