So I put my perspective on the relationship between Blondie and Tuco.
The two of them didn't know each other, they both threw each other in the desert. They are always collaborators (except for a period of time as enemies), from beginning to end. In the beginning, we cooperated to cheat the bounty, and then we looked for $200,000 together.
When looking for a huge sum of 20, The good always has the advantage and is very active (who told others to know the name of the cemetery), he can choose the partner of cooperation, or let others dig his own money. In the process of cooperation, The good and The ugly's emotions seem to surpass the collaborators and tend to be friends. However, it is difficult for them to become friends, because the interest relationship between them cannot completely trust each other.
This is very realistic. Everyone can't be friends with people they don't trust. Because it’s dangerous to be friends with someone you can’t trust. This is why Blondie chose Tuco when choosing teammates. The Bad is so murderous and very threatening to Blondie's life.
Although Tuco is The Ugly, and many translations add "evil" to the literal translation of "ugly". In fact, this is not correct. Tuco is not evil. In fact, this character is the final coloring in this movie. It is also the most complicated. Judging from the way he was so happy the last day in the cemetery, this character is also lovely. (I like this character best but I don't want to be too full of words).
And the combination of good and ugly is interesting. It’s like friends but not friends. They can share adversities. For example, in the part of bombing the bridge, they all sacrificed their lives to bomb the bridge. The only reason for this is not to hunt for treasure, they are also for The colonel who fought to the death (or the captain?). This place is also well interspersed into the Civil War. When they exchanged secrets with each other, I thought that after so many things, they had become friends. It's like the plot in a lot of movies.
But it turns out that they are just deceiving each other by using their affection for each other that is not enough to become friends. They can share adversity but cannot enjoy together. But then Blondie took Tuco's bullet and in a sense, he didn't have no feelings for Tuco beyond the collaborators.
But the problem is that their relationship of interest makes them unable to trust each other and become friends, but their relationship has surpassed the cooperative relationship. At this time, their relationship has become unbalanced. The final conclusion happened to solve this problem. Blondie rebalanced their relationship in this way, and they were collaborators in the end. The ending is so delicate, you can see the director's skill. The relationship between the two of them in the movie also exists in real life, but the balance of the relationship is broken, and how to rebalance becomes the key to the problem.
