I go, why does it look so cool!

Recently I learned that many of the movies that I regarded as invincible classics were composed by Morricone - Cinema Paradise, Red Dead Redemption, Once Upon a Time in America, The Good and the Bad, and so on. I really fell in love with him. .
Okay, getting off topic a bit, back to Once Upon a Time in the West, let me tell you the cool thing about Once Upon a Time in the West.
Cool, of course it's Morricone's music. It's been a long time since I saw the movie, and I don't remember the main character's name or even Fonda's face, but I remember the soundtrack. It's good to listen to it alone, but if you watch it with a movie, the word immersive is just made for it.
Cool point two, madly cool actor. Whether it's Charles Bronson or Henry Fonda, the appearances are all cold and deadly. If Huang Xiaoming had this kind of poker face, I would say that his acting skills are bad, but these two seem to be the templates of tough guys. This kind of coolness comes from the bones, and this guy like me can't help but be attracted to him when he sees it. .
Cool point three, unrestrained, or the lawless west. In this film, there is no law, people use guns to decide who is the strongest, and it is like an American version of a martial arts film.
Cool point four, the inspiration of railway workers. Although I like the beauty of savage violence, but watching the workers at the station extend the railway into the distance little by little, and let civilization enter the wilderness, I will feel, man, we have to get back on the right track and take the road of civilization. Be a diligent person.
Sergio Leone is really a good director. He loves his American past, but it's a pity that I've watched it for too long, I can't remember the plot, and I don't feel like writing a film review.

Once Upon a Time in the West quotes

  • Morton: You'll never succeed in becoming like me.

    Frank: Why?

    Morton: Because there are many things you'll never understand.

    [Frank draws on Morton as he pulls out money from a drawer]

    Morton: This is one of 'em. You see, Frank, there are many kinds of weapons, and the only one that can stop that is this.

    [Morton's train stops as Frank's men ride up to it]

    Morton: Now, shall we get back to our little problem?

    Frank: My weapons might look simple to you, Mr. Morton, but they can still shoot holes big enough for our little problems.

  • [last lines]

    Cheyenne: Hey, Harmonica, when they do you in, pray it's somebody who knows *where* to shoot. Go away. Go away. Go away, I don't want you to see me die.
