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.

    When he was young, Eastwood looked too much like Jude Law!

    The best westerns. [2021.6.17. SIFF Yihai 4K Repair Extended Edition Revisited] Needless to say, Morricone’s inner god-level soundtrack, a close-up of the Leone logo, and the clown in the cemetery (the huge scale reflects the cruelty of war) Hopeless) frantic running search (increasingly fast, spinning, dazzling) and a round "area" like a game and a ritual, but a three-life duel in a psychological competition. The characters are three-dimensional, almost flawless, money is supreme and life is low is the common value of the three people, good people are not good (scheming and outspoken rather than fair duels) but there is also kind compassion (to light up the dead and be watched), but ugly people are just like Chameleon has a lot of swear words but is also straightforward and still insists on drawing a cross (very interesting contradictory posture), but the bad guys are really evil. The Eastwood Desert was tortured and almost died and it was subversive. The epic and absurd Civil War from the perspective of the depiction is without verbosity. "I have never seen so many people die meaninglessly." To die, apart from being a priest, you can only be a bandit. You choose your path, and I choose mine. My path is much harder than yours."
