      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.

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

    • [Loco has been dragging an outlaw through the snow to torture him]

      Outlaw: Stop! Stop! I swear, Loco... I don't know nothin'!

      Tigrero, a.k.a. Loco: [shows him a wanted poster] Tell me where he is, and I'll let you go.

      Outlaw: I-I don't know...

      Tigrero, a.k.a. Loco: Aw, no. You know alright - he was with you in the mountains.

      Outlaw: I don't know where he went to - I swear I don't - let me go...

      Tigrero, a.k.a. Loco: HIYA!

      [continues dragging him through the snow on horseback]

      Outlaw: Stop! I swear to God, Loco... I don't know nothin'! I don't know nothin'!

      Tigrero, a.k.a. Loco: Why don't you tell me? Tell me now, or don't you wanna live?

      Outlaw: [choking] I-In the mill... at, the edge of town... near - there's a wife's house... I think he's got a gun there...

      Tigrero, a.k.a. Loco: Thank you.

      [shoots him]

    • Pollicut: [showing his mutilated hand to Silence while raping Pauline] You cripple just to spite the men you hate... so nobody'll be able to use a gun - against you. Maybe you ruined my hand, but still, what I come here to get, it won't matter much!

    • Regina: [aims Pollicut's revolver at Loco] If you come here, Loco, you'll find out I can shoot a pistol too!

      Tigrero, a.k.a. Loco: Oh, come on. Drop that, Regina, you're wasting your breath on us.

      Regina: If I kill you... I'll be glad, ya hear?

      [shoots Loco's hat off his head]

      Tigrero, a.k.a. Loco: You saw that woman shoot first!

      [shoots Regina]
