few dollars -1965
continue the second part of this series.
It is said to be a series, but the plot of this film is not directly related to the previous one. The only thing in common is that the male protagonist has not changed and is still played by Clint Eastwood. The story tells the story of two bounty hunters, one old and one young, working side by side, fighting wits and bravery with the big bad guys, and winning with bounties and extra rewards. The plot of this film is much more complicated than the first one, with more twists and turns, and quite suspenseful. It is impossible to guess the ending of the story without seeing the last minute of the film. As a film from the 1960s, it is worthy of being a classic if it can achieve this level.
The narrative structure of the film is exquisite. First, through the imposing appearance of the two protagonists, the heroic images of the two are created. Then use a series of actions of the bad guy to show the essence of the bad guy doing all kinds of evil. And connect the three characters together through a bank robbery. The story then focuses on describing the battle of wits and courage, and buries a dark thread of revenge in the narrative of the film. Finally, all the mysteries are revealed at the end of the film. The whole film has no extra plot, and it completely revolves around the plot itself, and the entire narrative structure has also become a classic model of Hollywood type films. You can see that the movies are described in a step-by-step manner according to this model. A 1965 film can be so perfect, I really admire the ability of the director.
Other shooting methods of the film continue to use the style of "Red Dead Redemption", such as the close-up of characters and the use of music. The use of music also adopts the style of the previous film, but a special sound effect is added in this film, which is the funny-sounding "boom" sound. I don't know how the director thought about it, but when this voice appeared, I always wanted to laugh. Although it can prompt the audience that there is a turning point in the plot, it does not need such an obvious prompt, the audience can understand it. I am puzzled by this. And there are a lot of jokes added in this film, such as the old man by the train track, it feels really funny when watching this. It can be seen that Sergio Leone's filmmaking skills are becoming more and more mature. The film covers many elements, and all aspects are well considered.
I should also mention that there is a very, very cool scene in this film, that is, a scene where an old man and a young man fight guns in the dark. The old man's marksmanship is so amazing, so cool. It's hard to imagine that this is a movie from the 1960s. Looking at this scene now, it is not out of date. I was quite impressed by this scene, and I'm sure I won't forget it.
Said a lot of advantages of this film, but the process of watching the film is very painful for me. Some can't stand it, the reason is very simple, the film is too modeled. Although the plot of the film is twists and turns, but if you think about it with your feet, you can guess that the male protagonists will definitely win the final victory. I've watched too many movies like this, and it doesn't feel new to me at all. Am I asking too much?
The performances of the actors are mediocre. Clint Eastwood is the same as the previous one, with slightly more lines, and mostly pretending to be cool. Another Lee Van Cleef gave me the impression that I had no impression. Like Clint Eastwood, he was quiet, never smiled, and was also a cool guy. Finally, talk about the villain Gian Maria Volonté. He was the actor who played the big villain in the first movie. In this part, he continues to play the big villain of the film. When he first appeared, I thought the villain of the first film was alive again, but when the film went on for a while, I realized that it was another character. I really convinced the director, why let an actor with a very obvious appearance play two different roles in two consecutive movies, and the characters of the characters are similar, and the audience can easily mix them up. It is because of this that when I watch the film, I always look at the characters of this film like the villain of the first film, which is very awkward.
Overall, a near-perfect classic. It's a pity that it is old, and I have seen a lot of movies similar to this film, so I don't like this film. Time really can change everything.
