The sound of the harmonica keeps lingering in my mind

I just finished watching "Once Upon a Time in the West", without reading any film reviews, I would like to talk about my simple viewing experience: the lens is very skillful, the most profound is that there are many long shots, but not deliberately, more Show the magnificent western geography while advancing the plot. The real conflict of the film is only revealed in about 55 minutes. It takes a little patience. As a good director, why the film is long? I personally think that it takes more than two hours to tell the story well. I liked the scene at the bar very much. The special feature is that people in the room listen to the gunfire and movement outside the door, but cannot see the picture. This method of shooting is very attractive to the audience. The tone of the harmonica highlights the desolate west, and it keeps going around in my mind after reading it. And the brisk whistling music also plays a naughty stop from time to time in line with the plot, and finally talks about the heroine Claudia Katina is so beautiful.
