Revolution, how can there be undead? He is the only person in the world who is qualified to say this.
He was not a good brother, a good husband, or a good father. Although he freed 150 political prisoners and many more imprisoned Mexicans, distributed them arms, passed on their will, taught them revolutionary knowledge.
Revolution is not a dinner party, what is revolution? A revolution is the violent act of one class overthrowing another. Revolution is neither violence nor an act of violence, but class, strap, and class. The English translation of the title is extremely wrong. Revolution is not about the poor overthrowing the rich and the bandits going to the countryside to loot, not about a major purge or a catastrophe, but about the exploited overthrowing the exploiters, the oppressed overthrowing the rulers, and the establishment of a new society of justice and equality. Such a process is not feasible without decapitation and bloodshed, so when the sufferers in Mexico say
“I know I am talking about, we are talking about revolutions!
The people who read the books go to the people can't read the books, the poor people, says "we have to have a change." So the poor people make the change. And the people read the books they all sit around the big polished table and they talk and talk and talk and eat and eat and eat. Then what has happened to the poor people? They died.
That's your revolution. So please don't tell me about revolutions.”
Juan was able to tell this monologue, and quoting him at the beginning, the director took it out of context. Revolution wrong? What's wrong with overthrowing all systems of exploitation, and overthrowing all those scumbags who try to take advantage of the right time and place to take advantage of them. Unreasonable riots? It is unreasonable to overthrow the rotten army of warlords, chaebols, lack of lackeys, compradors, landlords, three doctrines and many other reactionary forces. To rectify the evil winds of society, to rule the chaotic times, to restore the vitality of the people, and to make the reality worth fighting for, shouldn't it be a revolution?
Revolution is what it should be.
The director's words through the mouth of Juan are also reasonable. Talking about revolution aside from class will definitely be contrary to the revolution, there will definitely be a farce of the founder running to the reactionary regime to be the director of the department, and the revolutionary leaders will definitely be identified with ideology. Happens from time to time. Since the change in the situation, the revolution has never been without a program and a doctrine. What is the primary problem of the revolution? Without these and without Marxism, they are just reactionaries in the guise of revolution, just new warlords who intend to overthrow the old warlord regime, they are just rebelling, replacing the improved old system with a worse new system, how could they possibly Will fight with the people to the death.
Leone's four flashbacks mostly tell a short, long and desolate story. In Leone's six works, the shadow of classicist narrative is common. My favorite is the flashbacks of Red Dead Redemption. A sad story in which the hearts of both protagonists are dead, as in Morricone's soundtrack addio colonnello (Goodbye, Colonel). The rape of Deborah in America's past is also worthy of in-depth analysis. If I really like a certain film, I often pick a few of the director's works to see. Evaluating the pros and cons of a movie is like evaluating a poem. The probability of getting it by chance is not very low, but not at all. As Zhou Xishan said, only when the poet himself reaches the realm of the same or even beyond the realm can it be possible to create works of high realm and style. Although film creation is different, the era of the big studios does get out of this analogy... But I think using this evaluation method, look at the era of filming, the era of filming, the background of the director, and the before and after of the director vertically. The work will be a little biased.
In the four flashback stories, the most frequently discussed must be the fourth, often called the kiss of revolution. If I look at it as a real experience in the real world, I really don't understand it, and I don't understand it. I prefer to understand women as the fruit of the revolution that will come sooner or later, which is also the supreme state of the revolutionary ideal. Sean's friend is a symbol of fellow revolutionary, and Sean is a pure revolutionary (since Ireland is covered in explosives and goes to Mexico, it's just like a terrorist...). So after the woman kissed Sean, she went to kiss her comrade deeply. Sean was not angry, only a little lonely. After all, the revolution will succeed in the end. It's a pity that in the end Sean was betrayed by his comrades, just like him.
Later, Sean chose to die by self-destruction, but he chose to risk the biggest infamy in history to revolutionize to the end, until he died. So, in the end Sean left nothing. In the last shot, Juan looked at the audience in confusion and asked "what about me", just like Leone's pessimistic and confused attitude towards the revolution. However, in 1971 when the movie was released, he wrote Nian Nujiao with a pen in the Ying Nian Tang: "Cheeringly looking forward, there are no four seasons, spring love arises secretly, who said that everyone betrays relatives and leaves?" He did not shout long live the people, but his people hoped that he would come back one day.
Leone didn't understand him.

After: Mirror language, scheduling, narration, music and sound have nothing to say, the word master is enough.
For example, Leone's six works are sorted by preference:
1. The Good and the Bad
2. Once Upon a Time in the West
3. The Dusk Double
4. Once Upon a Time in America
5. The Revolutionary Past
6. Red Dead Redemption
