People and Revolution

Sigrid 2022-01-29 08:06:06

God's soundtrack, different from the soundtrack of the western trilogy, with a black, fat, funny, cute and stupid character - in fact, he is not stupid. At the beginning, he can bear hard enough on the carriage, and when he encounters John, he can entangle him, and when John wants to kill. It is enough for the two to establish a revolutionary friendship. Throughout the movie, Hei Fatty's character is the most established and the most well-acted, and he is also the one who contributes the most laughs. A film without a female protagonist, blood, transformation, betrayal and forgiveness between men and men.

Speaking of the revolution, "Don't mention the revolution to me, the revolution is that the literate people eat and eat in the house, and the illiterate people work hard outside..." John was speechless, and the barrage was speechless. A revolution is a chess piece made up by a group of passionate young people. Ordinary people can't help but die between life and death. Hei Fatty said that what he cared about was not the emptiness, but the protection of this home and family. Unfortunately, in the end, he couldn't resist and was involved in this chaotic turbulence.

For John, revolution is chaos, and he told Black Fat that a man with a purpose in chaos can best achieve it. John has no purpose, this sentence is simple.

    It seemed that I always stared at Leone's NB style, and now I noticed that the old guy's narrative ability is also good. Just a few flashbacks without a trace of dialogue can explain Cobain's previous experience clearly, and the amount of information is more complete every time, and the emotional substitution is stronger every time. The bank section is also a highlight section, as usual, there is no dialogue, but the dramatic effect is unparalleled.

    Of Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West trilogy, the one I love the most is "Revolutionary", which has more Far-reaching and long-lasting meaning, black humor, romance, western style, the combination of the three is so classic and so perfect.

Duck, You Sucker! quotes

  • [Juan runs to escape a horde of revolutionaries, but is grabbed by John]

    John H. Mallory: Where are you goin', for Christ's sake?

    Juan Miranda: I don't know. I don't know, but something's wrong! I went into the bank. But when I go in the bank, there's nothing there, no money, nothing.

    John H. Mallory: Oh, well, the bank and the money were transferred to Mexico City over a month ago. Well, they've been using this place for a political prison ever since.

    [Juan suddenly cocks his gun at John, who chuckles]

    Juan Miranda: What do you mean, a political prison?

    John H. Mallory: Well, I never said a thing about money. All I asked you was if you wanted to get inside.

    Juan Miranda: But you know that this bank is my life! This is my dream!

    John H. Mallory: Well, the reality of that is... you just liberated a hundred and fifty patriots through sheer courage in the face of danger.

    [giggles]

    John H. Mallory: Ah, yes... you're a grand hero of the revolution now. Viva Miranda.

    [the cheering crowd lifts Juan onto its shoulders]

    Juan Miranda: I don't wanna be a hero! All I want is the money, the money!

    John H. Mallory: VIVA MIRANDA!

    Juan Miranda: You taught me one thing!

    John H. Mallory: [laughing] What?

    Juan Miranda: How to get FUCKED!

    [gives John the finger]

  • Juan Miranda: What kinda work you do for the German? Listen, I asked you a question. What do you do for the German?

    John H. Mallory: I've been looking for silver.

    Juan Miranda: Silver? You know something? I don't understand you. I don't understand how you waste your time and your holy water looking for silver. To me, that's a sin.

    John H. Mallory: Do you have any better ideas?

    Juan Miranda: Si, I think gold is better than silver.

    John H. Mallory: Ah, there isn't any gold in these hills.

    Juan Miranda: Oh ho, yes there is! In Mesa Verde.

    John H. Mallory: Mesa Verde? It's a city.

    Juan Miranda: Of course it's a city! Who ever heard of having a bank in the country, huh?

    John H. Mallory: Uh huh. A bank?

    Juan Miranda: Not "a bank." *The bank!* The most beautiful, wonderful, fantastic, gorgeous, magnificent bank in the whole world! When you stand before the bank and you see it has the gates of gold, like it was the gates of heaven. And when you go inside, everything, *everything* is gold! Gold spittoons, gold handles, and money, money, money is everywhere. And you know, I know 'cause I saw this when I was eight years old. I went there with my father. He tried to rob the bank, but they caught him. But they will never catch me, eh, Papa?

    Papa Miranda: Right.

    Juan Miranda: Listen, Firecracker. Now you listen to me... listen, why don't you come with me, eh? And we will work together... and we will become rich.

    [chuckles]

    Juan Miranda: What the hell is your name?

    John H. Mallory: [wearily] Seán...

    Juan Miranda: What?

    John H. Mallory: John.

    Juan Miranda: What is your name?

    John H. Mallory: John.

    Juan Miranda: [laughs] That's fantastic, that is incredible, eh! My name is Juan and yours is John! It's Juan and John, eh? Heh, heh!

    John H. Mallory: So what?

    Juan Miranda: What do you mean, "So what?" Can't you understand that is... that is... the... oh... ah... destiny.
