In 1968, the furious sound of the whip no longer sounded, only the harmonica, which was broken and out of tune because the cowboy blocked the bullet, played the dirge of the west between the lips of the last cowboy in Leone. The family concept in the East gradually drove away the loneliness and unfettered mood of the West. All the cowboys can do is turn around, look for a more remote place, and continue to wander until they can no longer find such a place. Die...

11.19 One word for leisure, one word for hatred. Smiling Avenger. The monotonous yellow sand and monotonous harmonica in loneliness and desolation drown the life of the cowboys. Standing in emptiness waiting for...

Revisiting the giant screen of the Science and Technology Museum, I found many new details, and there are many extremely romantic close-ups. I like the trilogy of the past, as always, more than the trilogy of prostitutes. The reflection on American history, the setting of female characters, and the elegy for Western civilization, Leone is full of...

The soundtrack is still good. The sound is not coordinated (I don't know if it is a problem with the downloaded version), the characters are still good or bad, and the marksmanship is still fast, accurate and relentless. Henry Fonda is not my type, but the heroine is so charming (although I don't understand the emotional...

165mins//Spaghetti Westerns feel more desert chivalrous than American Westerns//The other side of America's past//The difference between emotions built up in precious minutes and emotions built up in huge spans Just like the difference between live action and studio photography, of course studio photography can be unreal.//Leone is also a director who manipulates time. He makes time more...

Shanghai Film Museum, Leone Film Festival. The rhythm is obviously slower than the Red Dead series, the camera is pulled farther, and the feelings are deeper, but the entertainment has also declined. There are indeed some problems with the editing in the second half. The plot can be straightened out, but the motives of the characters are still...

A past episode in the west, a young man who has become a knight has nothing to do with money, a woman is now in the future, and the sound of death is still lingering in this land - the soundtrack is embedded in the mind - the moment of light and shadow is the eternal west Great...

Leone's western swan song
Sergio Leone, the
director of Sergio Leone’s "Once Upon a Time in the West", can be said to have a lofty status today, and the admiration of him from fans around the world is beyond words. As everyone knows, Leone’s original fortune was just the willingness to subvert and break... -

This movie is a classic, a classic, and a classic.
This is the best Western film made by this director.
Every second is a textbook for later generations
. And the sun-bloomed film. . . .
Moisturizes the later movies for decades.
Almost all the great directors of genre films you can name have been...
Once Upon a Time in the West quotes
-
Cheyenne: What the hell is this?
Harmonica: [off screen] Can't you see?
[emerges from behind a pile of wood]
Harmonica: It's a station. And all around it a town. Brett McBain's town.
Cheyenne: [starts to laugh] Was HE crazy, heh!
Harmonica: Yeah in a very special way. An Irishman.
[starts measuring out a square and hammers wood spikes into the ground]
Harmonica: He knew sooner or later that railroad coming through Flagstone would continue on west, so he looked over all this county out here until he found this hunk of desert. Nobody wanted it, but he bought it.
[continues with work]
Harmonica: Then he tightened his belt, and for years he waited.
Cheyenne: Waited for what?
Harmonica: For the railroad to reach this point.
Cheyenne: Ah, but how in the hell could he be sure the railroad would pass through his property?
Harmonica: Them steam engines can't roll without water, and the only water for fifty miles west of Flagstone is right here, under this land.
Cheyenne: Ah-ha! He was no fool, our dead friend, huh?
[chuckles]
Cheyenne: He was going to sell this piece of desert for his weight in gold, wasn't he?
Harmonica: [looks at Cheyenne] You don't sell the dream of a lifetime. Brett McBain wanted his station. He got the rights to build it.
Cheyenne: How do you know all this?
Harmonica: I saw a document. It was all in order - seals, signatures, everything. One thing though, in very small print, there is a short clause which says that McBain or his heirs lose all rights if, by the time the railroad reaches this point, the station ain't built yet.

Jill: [with tears] I hope you'll come back someday.
Harmonica: Someday.
