      No good or bad, only gun

      In fact, what I want to say is that there is no such thing as good or bad. Some are just the way to survive... Of course, in the world of Il grande silenzio, the way to survive is to use a gun.

        In this regard, I don't think that "silence" necessarily represents the so-called good person-he is an avenger and has turned from an avenger to a paranoid-in this sense, he is not much different from those bounty hunters. Bounty hunters live for money, and "silence" lives for their own...

      Feelings of Watching "The Great Silence"

      The world is inhumane and everything is a dog! God will also be attached to those at the bottom of society who are struggling to survive. They have no reason not to be treated well, because their human nature is not lost!

      The characters in Italian westerns usually do not distinguish between "good and evil", good is bad; bad is good. Bastards are often flooded with whole movies from beginning to end. Regardless of the fate of the characters in the film, one thing I can be sure of is...

      The cold that can't be defrosted

      The winter scenes are beautifully shot, especially the dumb horse riding in the forest. The exterior scenes are all taken from the Alps where summer is located, although I haven't experienced winter there yet. The genre of the film also imitates Sergi Leoni, but it has an irony to the heroes of the West. It seems to say, "Don't be heroes, go home and take pictures of yourself and then come out again. There is a kind of cold that can't be defrosted." I don't like the ending very much. The kind...

      The ending was unexpected and seemed to be doomed. In the face of the harsh laws of natural survival, those who turn humans into beasts only have the law of the jungle without watching and helping each...

    Movie quotes

    • Governor: This manhunt is inhuman. An amnesty will end it, if that's what the voters should decide on. The old West is finished. We must learn to live with people of all races and persuasions, and unite to make a new West.

      [to his advisers]

      Governor: Yes, use that in my next speech.

      Sheriff Burnett: [jokingly] Yeah, a politician would promise amnesty to the murderer of his own father to win an election!

      Governor: [annoyed] Do you infer that I do, sheriff? What do you mean, sir?

      Sheriff Burnett: [sheepishly] N-Nothin'. Excuse me, governor. I was just thinking out loud.

      Governor: Thinking is not your business.

      Sheriff Burnett: Yes, governor, you're absolutely right, sir.

      Governor: Now, get out there, and do your job.

      Sheriff Burnett: Yessir, yessir!

    • Tigrero, a.k.a. Loco: [after shooting Pauline's husband] Now, say "goodbye" to your husband - always respect the dead!

      [he mounts his horse while she runs to the body]

      Tigrero, a.k.a. Loco: Now, pack your husband in the snow. That'll keep him fresh 'till I collect his bounty. So don't you bury him, you hear? Well, Petes. What times we live in... when a black's worth as much as a white man!

    • Sheriff Burnett: What do you want?

      Walter, Leader of the Outlaws: We just want that horse of yours.

      Sheriff Burnett: You want my horse, there's an awful lot of ya. What are you gonna do with just one horse, anyhow?

      Walter, Leader of the Outlaws: Eat it. We're gonna feed off that beast for at least a week.
