Smile in the grave

As long as it is a movie review, there will be spoilers~ Stars and short ones such as "good" and "bad" are also counted. . .

An example of discussing the concept of "time dilation" in a technical post I brushed is linked to this movie. I haven't seen Westerns systematically, and I don't want to try to be any technical stream. The version I came down to read is 179 minutes. According to the post The final duel scene was condensed and cut from five minutes to ten seconds and five thousand graves, but it didn't seem like a natural scene~so~ The shooting time of "The Bad and the Dead" should not be short. . .

The three protagonists on the stage of the opera

At the beginning of the film, it took some time to outline the silhouettes of the three people with thick ink. The good and ugly are a pair of temporary bounty cheating partners. The eye of God, as The bad, is also kind and kind, a bit like taking people. Qian Cai is loyal to the killer character who takes his life ~ The three of them lived a very simple life in the background of the Civil War, and they ran thousands of miles only for money ~ Of course, there is one thing in common that the marksmanship is very good ~ The picture and dialogue overflow with a strong western style

Without loss of humor and soul torture

Unfortunately, Blonde and Ugly soon had a grudge not only because of the money, but also because Ugly was left in the wilderness to hike 70 miles before returning to town ~ uh ~ can be said to be a kind of shame for the gun shop owner who robbed and robbed. What a wonderful person?

So Ugly took a white chicken to call for revenge (? As shown in the picture) Of course, those goods are just cannon fodder just to highlight Ugly's language style. For example: there are only two kinds of spurs in the world, one comes in through the door and the other comes in through the window

But the blond boy must have been favored by the god of cannonballs~ Two lucky bombings: one saved himself from ugly and the other saved himself and ugly

The two of them ran one by one and chased after the ugly and painstakingly solitary idiots. Along the way, they picked up the blond cigarette butts in the embers, and sometimes showed horny & slutty smiles, so I began to suspect that I was drinking their CP all the time~ I thought, if there is such a person I have been chasing my trail, always thinking of me, sticking to me, loving me and torturing me. . . No matter what the reason, it should be a blessing in the end~ Sorry for being a bit off topic?

Sure enough, I wasn't disappointed. They encountered the dying one-eyed Billy in the desert, the one-eyed Billy that The bad has been tracking. The secret of a treasure rescued the blonde and tied the fate of the three protagonists together. . .

I don't want to discuss any war and righteousness, and I don't intend to evaluate or relate the style and history of the film from a technical point of view. The film does not say "The next day the war begins" like some award-winning novels, nor does it throw a few cannonballs. Some scenes of broken walls and bloodshed actually hang high as spectators of the war. They just used the background of the war to let the pigs’ feet integrate into the scene. They had to make cameo appearances and had some real-life experiences. It also created some absurdity ~ this itself is very appetizing. . .

A golden sentence from the short-lived colonel
Did you think of something? I didn't say anything

The treasure was on the south bank and the two chose to blow up the bridge~ Not only did they agree with people's wishes, but also cleared the field for themselves, and also mocked the meaninglessness of the war itself. . . It's a real feat~

In order to avoid the gunfire, ugly slept with her butt and snoring all night~ until she was kicked by the blonde hair?

There are several questions:

1. Where did you get the new blond cape to keep it cool and handsome?

2. Do the names on the tombstone and "3 February 1862" indicate whose birthday or date of death on and off the film?

3. Why didn't The bad kill ugly in the POW camp and interrogate Blonde and take those 6 fools to dig for treasure?

4.? Isn't the picture below funny? Think about the scenes of raising guns in countless film and television episodes?

Taunts and fan voices from the 1960s

We're all running looking for a name

6. The above is all nonsense. This is just to make up the number~

After reading it, I kept wondering why the blonde would let Ugly go and write nothing on the back of the stone so confidently (I guessed it would be Water)? After thinking about it, maybe he heard the conversation between Ugly and his brother when he passed by in the church. When it comes to Ugly's childhood and the sentence "We had only two choices in life at that time, one is to be a bandit and the other is to be a priest"~

one hanging
one with a gun in the distance

So Blonde also replied to ugly, "There are only two kinds of people in the world, one has a gun full of bullets, and the other has to work (dig)" plus the last old trick is to end the feud in the desert. . .

Finally, mention the "time dilation" mentioned earlier

The so-called "opera-like editing" I understand is to pinch the audience's nose to create a tense atmosphere and make the time seem long due to slowing down, and then the director (and screenwriter) smirk as if from the coffin and say: Slowly Wait, when the pot friends see this is over~ Then you have to listen to me?

ten seconds of suffocation

Looking back at the whole film, the blond has been playing the cool guy with a cigar in his mouth. I checked the actor and found that his surname (Eastwood) reminded me inexplicably of Woodstock. His life experience is also legendary~ But I still prefer the role of ugly I don't know. why. . . Maybe it's because of his optimism and perseverance, as well as the nonsense he says from time to time~

As for The bad, the presence is a bit low

It's my loneliness and the fact that I don't read enough films, and I'm not good at remembering names~ If you want to say another good western film, you can only think of Quentin's "The Hateful Eight"~ In contrast, The Bad and the Bad has its age and faint emotional penetration. The Hateful Eight wins in the visual effects and the tense rhythm of frequent reversals ~ it can only be said that each has its own merits. . .

It is said that good or bad is a matter of angle. . . The good, bad and ugly in this movie are not discounted~
