[This article was not written by me, but I saw it on the Sina blog a few years ago] As a fellow who watches movies in front of a computer, do you know what is most annoying? That is the story introduction in the links of the same movie resource that you searched on Baidu, all of them must be hidden half of them like an appointment and make you crazy! ! It's exactly the same as the introduction of the pirated CD eunuch version ten years ago-no more. Once Upon a Time in the West is one of my favorite westerns, and I can’t describe this film in the way of a film critic. But for this film that hardly many Chinese have the privilege to see the original Italian film of 175 minutes, I hope to record the 166-minute American version of the story that I have seen here — by the way, if you can find 175 Minute version, hope to share with me. If you accidentally see the text I am writing now, and then go to watch this movie, I hope you can thank me. Otherwise, you will not be for aftertaste—but for understanding—to spend another 166 minutes. If you like westerns, then this is really a movie worth watching! ! At the beginning of the film, Frank's three gunmen waited for a full 12 minutes at a small stop in front of the Kataishi Town Railway Station, and waited for the harmonica master Harmonica. The harmonica master was originally about Frank meeting here, and ended a passage of the past. Enmity. Since Frank didn't come, the gun battle was inevitable. The harmonicaist killed the three gunmen and shot himself under the collarbone. Then why did Frank miss the appointment? He led the other men to kill Mark Bain Mc. The Bain family. Bain and his younger son were hunting turtle doves leisurely, waiting for the start of his second wedding banquet. Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, a family of four would be shot at their door. Although the name of the Bain’s farm has been named-Sweetwater Town, it is actually surrounded by deserts, but just next to the lonely house of Bain’s family, there is a sweet water well that can supply water to the steam locomotive, so it is The next inevitable stop of the railway to the west, which has been extended to the town of Schist. The railroad enjoys Morton Morton originally asked Frank to drive away the Bain family by coercion and temptation, occupy the important site of Sweet Water Well, and realize his dream of connecting the railroad all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. But Frank was so vicious and cunning. He and his men wore the all-signature coat of another gang headed by Sean Cheyenne to kill the Bain family, and left fragments of this coat to blame others. Bain’s second wife, Jill Jill, was a beautiful prostitute Bain met in New Orleans. They had registered in New Orleans a month ago. Now, when Jill arrived at the Knife Town train station a few days after the tragedy, Jill There is no living person from the Eun family to pick him up. Jill hired a carriage to go to Sweetwater, passing a hotel similar to a big cart shop on the way, where all kinds of people lived. When Jill followed the coachman and came in curiously to take a look, there was a intensive gunfire outside the door. The only person who came in alive was Sean in handcuffs. He was caught by the police who mistakenly believed that he was the mastermind who killed the Bain family, but he did not know how he killed several policemen who escorted him. He tried the harmonica who was recovering here in the big car shop, and asked a frightened traveler to help him break the handcuffs, and then walked away with the men who came to meet him. Jill arrived at Sweetwater Town and understood everything. We can imagine the pain of a prostitute who has finally been able to take care of her. But Congliang prostitutes may more or less still retain the habit developed in their business-to profit from the transaction as soon as possible. So she looked around at Bain's house, hoping to find some securities, gold jewellery shells and the like. However, what we saw was Jill, who had found nothing, tossing and turning in Bain's bed. The film is here suddenly switched to the harmonica master in the big car shop fighting against the boss of the big car shop who helped him meet Frank before, and forcing him to ask why Frank would miss the appointment. To be honest, of course you can understand it by watching it more than once, but something must be cut here. For such a movie, I would like to watch it even for 4 hours. I really don’t know why the American cinema must be cut off. Some content. Jill couldn't sleep, and went on rummaging through the cabinets at Bain's house. She pulled out a pile of architectural models from a box, and a model of a station was an introduction to the movie. At this time Jill didn't know the use of these things. Suddenly the sound of the harmonica came from outside the window, and she fired a shot at the place where the harmonica sounded. The next day, disappointed Jill packed his bags and decided to leave Sweetwater. But at this time, Sean came. He and his men were chased by the police all night. He wanted to understand why Frank killed the Bain family and blamed him. He told Jill that he did not do it, and that he would never kill a child no matter how bad he was. The two discussed the reasons for the killing of the Bain family for a while. Sean thought there must be some property hidden somewhere in Sweetwater, but Jill decided to leave. This conversation was interspersed with the conversation between Morton and Frank, who was on the train with crutches due to bone tuberculosis, and Frank hinted that Jill would also be killed, so the trouble would be gone. Before Jill left, someone stopped her again. This time, it was the harmonica player who played the harmonica outside the house last night. He and Sean said the same thing-since they killed 4, it's easy to kill the fifth one. From the stable, the harmonica master saw two people standing outside on the hillside, and realized that the man Frank had sent to kill Jill had arrived, and he used a plan to kill them by the well. These were all seen by Sean and his men who did not leave on another hillside. Jill, who had communicated with the two masters, finally knew that Frank was the murderer of his husband. The harmonicaist must have told her that Frank could be found by the owner of the cart shop, although it was not mentioned in the film. The harmonicaist did this to have a chance to follow the big car shop owner to Frank. Sure enough, one by one, the harmonica master got on Morton's train, and Sean was also under the train at this time. The experienced Frank found someone on the top of the carriage and grabbed the harmonica. At the same time, he knew that the two men who had been sent to kill Jill were also dead. So he decided to meet Jill in person. After Frank left, what followed was a gun battle on a witty train, and Sean killed the three guys guarding the harmonica. The scene was not immediately after Frank and Jill’s scene. The desolate place of Sweetwater was suddenly filled with building materials. The supplier didn’t know what was the sign board, so Jill finally knew that her husband wanted it. Build a train station here! Jill wanted to find the model of the station, when Frank handed the model from the side. In the next period of time, the camera was cut and changed, and there was something missing here. Although we can still guess what was cut, why should people who watch movies in the cinema see this be confused? ! To be honest, I haven't fully understood it yet! The camera suddenly switched to Frank's nest. Morton and Frank discussed a peaceful way to buy the land in Sweetwater Town, but Frank humiliated Morton and asked his men to put him under house arrest on the train. Frank now has a new idea. Now that he has seen the model of the train station, he should want this piece of land. The camera switched back to Sweetwater Town. It stands to reason that even if a flashback was inserted just now, I should now return to Frank and Jill’s solitude, but what I saw was that the harmonica and Sean were exploring like archeologists. The actual use of the material plot for the construction of the fire station. This episode should have happened after Frank and Jill were alone and both left. The scene finally switched to the intimate scene between Frank and Jill in Bain's stable. Leaving aside the connection between the front and the back, Jill’s actions are suddenly incomprehensible. She is so proactive that you would think Jill is too profligate. No, think slowly, maybe you can figure it out (if you watch it in the movie theater, you will figure it out when you walk out of the movie theater): What else can Jill do? In the face of a strong man like Frank, if you don't do this, you may not even go back to New Orleans. Because next is Jill's auction of Sweetwater. Frank should threaten Jill to sell Sweetwater as soon as possible. Moreover, in order to ensure that he could shoot Sweet Water Town at a low price, Frank asked his subordinates to threaten the rich people who participated in the shooting on the spot. No one dared to keep bidding up if the bid reached 500 US dollars. On Morton's train, Morton was guarded by Frank's men. Morton should have mixed feelings in his heart. He just wanted Sweetwater Town to realize his dream of connecting the railway to the Atlantic Ocean. Now not only has Frank's non-conventional means made no progress, but because of Frank's ambitious plan, he has been placed under house arrest on the train. He stared at a rough Atlantic oil painting, tears in his eyes. Is Morton a contraangle? Obviously not! Although he is not the protagonist in the film, no matter the protagonist or the supporting role, he is actually just a straw in the background of the big era. Only Morton is the trendy person! Fortunately, he was rich. He placed 2000 dollars in front of the four bandits guarding him... Here, the harmonica master and Sean, who were observing in the dark of the auction hall, performed a two-person turn in an emergency. The harmonica master shouted 5,000 dollars upstairs, and walked down the stairs with Sean-the wanted Sean reward is 5,000! Jill and the harmonica were commenting on each other in the tavern—I still like all the lines in this movie—in fact, watching Westerns is a good way to learn English—and then Frank pushed in. He was full of hatred, but he was full of emotions and anger. He wants to buy Sweetwater from the harmonica for $5001. When Frank walked out of the tavern, his betrayed men were already in ambush. Thanks to the help of a harmonicaist, Frank didn't get hurt. But Jill, who was watching the game at the window, was very angry: she asked why the harmonicaist did not kill Frank but helped him instead. It turned out that the harmonicaist thought it was his own business to kill Frank. Frank returned to Morton's train, there were corpses everywhere, and Morton could only breathe out—clearly there was a gunfight. But the gun battle was ruthlessly deleted by the businessman who imported the film into the United States. Seeing this, I didn't even know who the participants in the gunfight were except Frank's men-later, these were not explained until the end of the film. (Please ask who saw the deleted episode in the Italian version?) Frank didn't kill Morton and let him die on the Atlantic shore in the illusion. The camera turned around, and the railway workers had already repaired the railway near Tianshui Town. Waiting here for Frank's harmonicaist to see the Welten Sean on horseback, and then Frank also came. (All of them are brilliant dialogues) The harmonica master and Frank duel, Frank is dead. The harmonica master and Sean left Jill's house, and suddenly Sean staggered off his horse and sat on the ground in pain. It turned out that when he took his gang to fight with Frank's gang on Morton's train before, he was shot to the heart by Morton, who he considered to be a useless man. At the end of the film, the train drove into Sweetwater! ! But the harmonicaist left with Sean's body. This is to tell us: Although Morton is dead, the railway is not dead. Those who died belonged to the era of cowboys—Go away, Go away, I don't want you to see me die—by Sean’s dying sentence to the end.
