Seriously overrated first sight beauty

The first time I watched it, this movie was really amazing, light and humorous and wonderfully integrated into the serious political reflections of the Civil War, the bright photography tones, the unforgettable soundtrack, the superb acting (especially the bad guys), all made People beat the case. But I have a habit of turning out good films and revisiting them after a while. Et, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank, Farewell My Concubine, these classics that I have replayed over and over again, every time I rewatch it, it is like being in a maze with endless treasures. In the middle of the adventure, there will always be harvests and surprises, and in the process of repeated review, I will gradually eliminate those slightly inferior films, unfortunately, this Seon’s spaghetti Western was abandoned by me in the second brush (of course , which is entirely by my personal standards). The biggest problem of The Bad and the Bad is the inconsistency of the character's behavior and the contradiction of the director's self-thought. The good guy that the director wants to create is hard to be called good no matter what kind of values ​​they have, but the bad guy agreed to the good guy's proposal and chose the fairest duel method while taking the initiative in the end. Even so, the good guy actually still Playing tricks ahead of time is obviously extremely shameful in the Western values ​​of fair play that would rather die. Including the triangular duel that was finally enshrined on the altar, and the logic of shooting each other, no matter how you explain it, it is difficult to justify it. In short, this is a beauty at first sight. It may be that after the success of the previous Red Dead Redemption, the director's technique has become more skilled, but the height of his thinking has been worn out.
