calm movie

After reading "Once Upon a Time in the West", I was deeply shocked by the calm and meaningful plot and wonderful background music. The ten-minute unspoken plot of the movie made me feel that this is an unusual western. The background music given by the loneliness that Cardina feels when she gets off the train sublimates the calm plot. The climax of the story is also a calm plot with pure music.
The biggest feature of Western films is to make violence and stories come alive. John Wayne's "Red River Valley," the violent fight at the end, Krone's golden trilogy, makes us feel like there's nothing fictional about it. Likewise, Once Upon a Time in the West shares these characteristics. Its bigger difference is her music. your love. When Bronson decided to leave and said I was leaving, Cardina's helplessness, and the background music of your love, pushed the story to a climax.
This movie reminds me of "The Horse Whisperer", the same calm, the same tension, but the difference is the scenery of "Horse Whisperer", the music of "Once Upon a Time in the West". There is no way to express the same calm beauty in different ways. The other is "Goodfellas", "City of God", "Las Vegas" and "The Godfather", which I made violent to life. I always feel that they are trying their best to make the storyline live.

    Lionel is really rubbish, but it's really good-looking. "As a kind of flashback to reveal the structure", Leoné's close-up and the treatment of time... However, if this film is shot today, it will definitely be deleted to 100 minutes...

    Morricone's music is good, but sometimes it's too arrogant. Kurosawa’s duel scenes often consist of wind and shouts, but they are more moving.
