It's a good well written western, but all great movie like this are only considered that because of the soundtrack, which this movies orchestral soundtrack carried it.
this
you are watching a story to Ennio Morricone's magnus opus.
BLONDIE
Leone was a genius
Pretty sure that was the last western Clint Eastwood starred in that he didn't direct, and all of Eastwood's westerns have the Sergei Leone feel to them.
Leone was the Quentin Tarantino of his time. His westerns are just quilts made up of patches from other westerns.
Quentin Tarantino literally ripped off Leone in all of his films you fricking dirty ignorant zoomer.
Like father like son
he blatantly admitted to have just ripped off Kurosawa's style and adapted to a western setting
And Tarantino admitted to blatantly ripping off Leone. Hateful 8 was an ode to Leone that he got Ennio Morricone to do the soundtrack.
Django Unchained and Hateful 8 took more inspiration from Sergio Corbucci's films.
No it didn't.
Okay. What's wrong with that?
They got two movie stars (Eastwood and Van Cleef) to play supporting roles to Eli Wallach as the main character, and even marketed it that way. Most probably didn't know Tuco was the only character with a real name.
Blondie is a saving angel, angel eyes is a demon, tuco is a borderline unsavable soul that the other two are fighting over. The religious shit isn't exactly subtle, but it was the 60's.
Tuco wasn't saved either, at the end he was strung up by the neck and given an ultimatum, which Blondie free's him from the noose to decide for himself. Which kinda makes Once Upon a Time in the West kinda hack, because he does the same shit to Charles Bronson's character.
lol he literally runs around a graveyard and digs his own grave.

The story in this one is so good it completely makes up for the shirty production.
oops forgot pic
another example of a genre deconstruction being better than the original genre
The people who say this have never even watched any American westerns
That's a meme, westerns before that were just as dark and with twisted plots prior, but the many tv shows had a chad gary stu protagonist. That deconstruction of the western was never real and was just thought up by some critic that didn't know anything about the genre.
There's nothing worse to me than people praising Unforgiven for "deconstructing the western genre" in 1992
Most westerns were just serializations of real situations and people they dug up from old newspapers and dramatized them. Television was never sanitized, just forbidden from vulgar words and nudity.
television is dead, every child is exposed to porn and gore videos on the internet. That's why the millenial and gen-x soiboi is fricking seething. They weren't exposed to reality and built up defense mechanisms like comic books and loud shitty music to distract them from ever forming a deep thought.
>gore and porn = mature
lol at your generation
I was inspired by rotten.com
When hell is full, the dead will walk the earth.
Gunsmoke, goofy recurring side characters but the story is usually about women and children being raped and murdered by bad indians but some indians aint so bad
>Irish IRA veteran is a bomb expert
how did they get away with it?
I have seen this many times, and I never once thought it was James Coburn, I always thought it was Lee Van Cleef. After a little thought of Lee Van Cleef 'acting' and also not pulling off an Irish accent and then pulling it up on 123movies I laughed. I love Duck You Sucker.
>I have seen this many times, and I never once thought it was James Coburn, I always thought it was Lee Van Cleef.
Meaning I forgot it was Coburn and replaced it with Van Cleef to fill the gaps in my memory. I remember hating it the first time I saw it because old west Mexicans had belt fed Vickers machineguns. Later I learned it took place in the 1920's Mexico.
He drives a motorcycle and carries a mauser in the first scene.
Most people aren't terminally online, they love their lives ups and downs. The terminally online homosexual twitter, reddit, Cinemaphile user will attack them so the moron media reports on it. Then redacts and retracts because 100% of everything created is against them and makes them look really fricking stupid to the person in an airplane terminal on their phone.
stoic man movie, zoomies wouldn't understand. They just worship the most worthless blacks.

Just watch from when they reach the civil war battle over a bridge to the end credits and save yourself three hours.
goddamn that final gun fight scene is beautiful.
