The classic work of Sergio Leon, the master of spaghetti westerns, following his collaboration with Clint Eastwood in the "Red Dead Redemption Series", Sergio Leon's nearly three-hour long novel was Call it the greatest Western in movie history.
The story tells the story of a mystery man (Charles Bronson) who came to town and was involved in a land grab between a widow (Claudia Cardinal) and a railroad tycoon. The most interesting character in the film is Henry Fonda, who has always been a righteous image, rarely played a cold-faced and cruel killer in this film. He had almost no expression from beginning to end, only the corners of his mouth moved occasionally, which made people shudder... When the film was released in the United States, It was trimmed by the film maker because the length of the film was too long, resulting in ambiguous story structure and unclear language.

    Maybe I have seen less westerns, so I don't know much about some places. I think Westerns may be a style of unrestrained and happy revenge! The melodious and melodious harmonica is full of affection and reluctance, and the high and intoxicating soundtrack combines the narrative to achieve the expression of affection and the contrast of the atmosphere. In the magnificent and boundless desert, a kind of pride and admiration arise spontaneously, but it also oozes a trace of loneliness. The romantic and soothing narrative, the philosophical dialogue, and the delicate composition should be the unique aesthetic style of Western films. Characters are also good, strong and brave female images, full-bodied cowboys, of course, the most dashing and simple are harmonica cowboys, who have their own principles and pursuits, very handsome! There is a bit of loneliness and helplessness in this film, which is a kind of nostalgia about the spirit of the West. There is always a trace of beauty in the past, which is very good!

    The sound of cheap harmonica. And the slow, unworkable tone, lethargic
