fulfilled my dream. But unfortunately, the theater hall in Tianshan is not a wide screen that can be covered. So I have to wait for the opportunity to go to the cinema again.... There should be a lot of people watching it for the first time. I am so envious of that kind of laughter. I think when I watched it for the first time, I was grinning from beginning to end. Dongmu is too handsome, his style is too handsome, that kind of martial arts spirit of drawing swords is grafted into than a gun, and more ritualistic.
Later, after watching Leone's past, I realized that he liked tuco the most. At that time, he didn't put his heart here. He just thought that the insertion of tuco and his brother was a bit strange and touching. Looking at it again this time, it really further verified Leone's love for tuco. He gave blondie his intelligence, and then replaced his view of tuco with blondie's eyes, that is, he tried his best to hide it. Tuco has a past, he said a lot of "truths", he is full of complex and moving emotions, he is sincere, funny, kind (from him and his brother), and he is "criminal" and "greedy for money"... .. (When it comes to Once Upon a Time in the West, Leone combines blondie and tuco to become Cheyenne.)
I remember that Leone rarely talks about Dongmu in the book. I guess they have a bad relationship, so I don't talk about it. The words in the book give people the impression that the Dongmu he created is a soulless body... But Dongmu in the third part has a predecessor (the first two parts include the entire trilogy, Dongmu is still a sympathetic dart player , his unknown guest seems to have the feeling of Chaplin's tramp -- unfounded conjecture), and Dongmu has always existed in the audience's impression as a "good guy". It is precisely in this context that when I look at tuco again, I feel that Leone is special. He always kept the characters he liked down first, as if he never made a hero, and he hid those delicate emotions under a rough, ugly and evil appearance, a tendency that has continued into America's past. But once the "core" complexity of those characters is discovered, that love for the characters is deeper, more wondrous, and more rare.
Come back again. This time, I also noticed several fragments of the war in the film. I used to listen to the soundtrack in those playful passages, as if this was the first time I discovered that the longest and most moving melodies were given to war fragments: Angel eye entered the army remnant for the first time, tortured the performance outside the tuco, and the last paragraph was addicted to alcohol The captain's passage, and the lad dying (it seems that there is no soundtrack here). If the tuco is a point, and the western ritual/three-player story is a point, then the war is also a point, and maybe a very important point. Perhaps this is also the prelude to the revolutionary past. (Speaking of the film festival, this is the most unfamiliar one.) Blondie's eyes are full of emotional pictures. In serious music, Very moving.
Perhaps as Leone himself judged himself: he was nihilistic and hopeless. So the war scene is filled with this emotion, interspersed by three desperate men, full of impure (gold) and pure (captured bridge) battles, a lot of playful discourse attitude, but music seems to be the hidden emotion . Such a beautiful blend of imagery and music.
I remember that my dad couldn't stand a lot of foreign films with a lot of dialogue, so he liked The Three Red Dead and Once Upon a Time in the West. Thinking about Leone is also very good, especially in the last two films, he almost completely gave up the dialogue. It's so wonderful, I look forward to seeing once again in the West.
Also: It was great to hear their laughter live, it seemed like Bazin was listening to the audience watching Chaplin's laughter~ I thought there would be cheers, but it seems that people may not like The Bad and the Bad.. ...but the subtitlers liked it very much, it was so beautiful. I can see this sentence at the end, and I feel happy to stay up so late to watch, to sleep so late, and to be sleepy the next day.
