8.4/10 Replaying "Once Upon a Time in the West", the 436-page script co-written by three Italian masters is a simple story. It downplays the plot, adds more close-ups, and is extremely slow but very charming. Morricone’s soundtrack is even more impressive. Anti-going is the main thing. The progress of civilization, the torrent of history, and the knights, bandits, and sharpshooters will all become ancient races. The west is a thing of the past, and it is really a maddening sorrow.

170 minutes, the beginning, tense, slow, the setting is deeply western, the costume of a knight, the image of a tough guy, and the manliness is full. Close-up shots are more common in later Hong Kong films. The emphasis is on the demeanor of the characters, and the lack of inner activity.
Once Upon a Time in the West quotes
Morton: I got on board within sight of the Atlantic, and before my eyes close I want to see the blue of the Pacific outside that window.
Frank: I know where you got on. I was there too remember? To remove small obstacles from the track you said. Well there were a few.
Cheyenne: [about Harmonica] He not only plays. He can shoot too.
Harmonica: [to Cheyenne] Do you only know how to shoot? Or do you know how to cut too?
