Because of the success of "Red Dead Redemption", Sergio Leone became famous in one fell swoop, which means that he has more funds to make his next movie. The success of "Red Dead Redemption" has made investors strongly demand A sequel was being filmed, so Sergio Leone made another film of Red Dead Redemption in 1965.
The story of this film has changed. [Red Dead Redemption] is only Clint Eastwood, an unknown cowboy. In addition to him, this film adds another protagonist, the colonel played by Livencliffe. , The role of Colonel was originally played by Lee Marvin, but he took over other scenes temporarily, so Sergio Leone had to choose Livencliffe, who played the villain Frank's three men in [Noon]. One, using the pistol position made Leone feel like he was using a machine gun. During the audition, he was wearing a dirty coat, a black and white flat head, like a bald eagle, the director chose him on the first instinct, it turned out , this role choice is absolutely incredible.
The protagonist of the film's story is still the nameless cowboy played by Eastwood, but in this episode he is a bounty killer. In this episode, he and the colonel played by Livencliffe, one old and one young, battle wits and courage. To deal with a group of thieves trying to rob a bank, the story of this film may be the most unknown in the Red Dead trilogy, but it plays a role in the director's own film style, and it is smooth and entertaining. In terms of, this film is also a model, Sergio Leone's later works contain a sense of dynamism, and the infinite tension in the silence begins to be highlighted in this film, Leone is no longer like the previous one [The Wilderness]. The Red Dead), it is necessary to imitate Akira Kurosawa's slow motion, but to use a unique close-up of the eyes, long shots with a wide field of vision and sharp editing to attract the audience. This film is a film that grew up under the background of Western culture. Legendary story, so it can't design dazzling fighting scenes like Chinese martial arts films, so Leone chose to create a confrontation atmosphere to express the heroic spirit of the heroic and dry cloud, which is a bit like the samurai duel in Kurosawa Akira's samurai film. Like the duel of masters in Hu Jinquan's martial arts films, the outcome is often decided in an instant. All the actions of Leone's westerns are made at the moment of shooting, under the strong soundtrack of Morricone, through the fast cutting. The camera lens can often make the audience's blood burst.
In addition to the action scenes, the film also intentionally depicts and foreshadows the personality charm of the characters in the film. In addition to telling an attractive story with heart, I don't know if it is better than those follow-up works that only show the power of justice. How many ranks, such as the newly added Colonel of the old bounty killer played by Livencliffe, in order to highlight his same status as the nameless cowboy, he has been constantly portraying his personal charm from the beginning, such as easily letting the train go where he wants to go. Stop in a hurry, hunt down thieves in the town, and before killing each other, don't forget to take off his hat to the lady who is taking a shower in a gentlemanly manner, and this pair of bounty killers, one old and one young, shoot each other's hats and compete. The marksmanship section is also very interesting. Although the film is nearly three hours long and does not have too many lines, it seems different from the current fast-paced movies, but Leone's ability to use images to describe the story and express the characters will always be It's unbelievable.
