This is a western film shot by Italians in Spain when the American western film day is not in the West. The scene of the sky full of yellow sand and the hero with unfortunate past are the common backgrounds of western films. But this film has created three characters the good, the bad and the ugly ingeniously. However, the so-called the good is not really a good person, but compared to the other two, he is "good" because he still has a hint of compassion. With such a careful portrayal of these three characters (even the title abandoned the traditional dollars and used the name "goodbadugly"), however, what the director wants to express may be that the three seemingly different images are actually just the same kind of people: pursuit The golden person, the individual is always small in the age, and the age cannot tolerate individuality, even the so-called legendary person in people's mouth. Among them, the most complete characterization is Tuco, a villain who makes people laugh, even more eye-catching than the good played by Eastwood in the movie. And his actor Eli Wallach is well-deserved for winning the Academy Award.
The film is nearly three hours long, with a relatively compact structure and not too long. It clearly expresses an anti-war view with the Civil War as the background, and the picture quality after restoration is no longer so bad.
Speaking of this movie, I have to mention Morricone's soundtrack, known as the "European Film Music Leader". The unconcerned whistle, horse whip and tenor chorus used in the groundbreakingly used boulders, loneliness and loneliness, absurd and ridiculous music, make people's eyes bright and endless aftertaste.
Most people think that the scene of the confrontation between the three at the end of the film is a classic, and it can be said to be highly recommended. The shot composition of that scene is indeed wonderful, but what I like most is the long shot of Tocu running in the cemetery. The fast-rotating shots and the graves in the shots are full of reflections on war and humanity-which also reflects the excitement in Tuco's heart at this time. , Anxiety and ecstasy, and the soundtrack of this long shot is: the ecstasy of gold-golden ecstasy. I have watched this stunning long shot time and time again, admiring the director's scene control and conception.
In any case, if you have never heard of it, you will hardly imagine that this is a movie from the 1960s.
