Never tire

From the perspective of creative thinking, this film is a turning point. The subsequent revolutionary past and the western past are obviously based on the theme and then the story, and the things to be expressed are very clear. The previous two Red Guards paid more attention to the feeling of artistic conception, and applied the longest heard evaluation of Leon, which is "like a dragon". "Good, Evil and Ugly" is a combination of these two ideas. The most outstanding feature in the film is still the three protagonists who revolve around money. In terms of handling one point, the brightest point is the angle. Borrowing the perspective of the "Funker" that has nothing to do with war, I have completed the greatest irony-I have never seen so many people die meaninglessly. This is an important reason for the popularity of the film, and the other is of course "ugly". From the role setting to the performance, he is the best.

As for the music, it has been said to be bad, and Lao Mo also won a lifetime award. Here is just one thing, I forgot whether it was "Predatory" or "Two Old Smokers". Some parts of the soundtrack are exactly the same. Quentin also said that he likes Leone.

In fact, among Leonney's works, "Good, Evil and Ugly" is the one with the highest recognition. Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB have higher scores and votes than his other works. And in the top ten IMDB, he is the only "foreign" film.
However, in the Mainland, the American past is the most popular, probably because the American past is not about the American past. Brotherhood stories can be accepted everywhere. As for the Western past, it seems to be more common than "Good, Evil and Ugly." Hearing, it’s just feeling.

Besides, if you don’t watch "Good, Evil, Ugly," or "Red Dead Redemption" and "The Fistful of Twilight," how do you know what is better than Kill Without Amnesty?

    Watched it a second time to write a review, still so insistent that it was the best example of a Western.

    Leone’s most personally styled western film, the most imitated movie in the golden age of Hong Kong film, The Good, the Good and The Good, the classics are being imitated in every passage. The confrontation between the three is like an ancient dragon. Sometimes I feel like watching martial arts, yellow sands, deserts, and lonely shadows. It's a bit like watching Wong Kar-wai's smiling and proud rivers and lakes, and it's a bit like watching Quentin's various movies. The revolving gun was beyond words, and Eastwood was indescribably handsome. Thanks to the library.
